Coronavirus has now touched all of our lives and our thoughts go out to our customers and holiday home owners who have been affected. However, after a very difficult year it feels as though there is finally some light at the end of the tunnel!

If you are due to be travelling to a Rent private holiday home or are currently deciding whether to book, then please relax as you are in good hands. If the FCDO advice was to change again due to the Coronavirus and you were unable to travel, then we will defer your booking to a later date at no additional cost to you.

In summary this means that:

• You will not lose your deposit; it will be transferred to your replacement booking.
• Rent private villas will also waive all admin fees for amending dates for bookings affected by Covid19.
• You can still look forward to your Rent Private Villas holiday experience!

Covid-19 Cleaning Standard

As travel restrictions continue to open up, villa holidays are set to be more popular than ever. We are working closely with our owners and property managers to ensure they feel well prepared to welcome our guests. We've provided them with enhanced hygiene guidelines and cleaning checklists to ensure their property meets appropriate hygiene standards in line with Covid-19.

We are also encouraging owners to implement self-check-in through technology, electronic key boxes or other means where possible if they haven’t already got this in place, as well as adhere to social distancing measures. For example, requesting Housekeeping to only go into homes when guests aren't present and providing a contactless service for the extras booked through our online Concierge Team. If you have any specific property-related questions feel free to ask our friendly team when you enquire.

Please note that due to the effects of Covid-19 there may be some local businesses and services mentioned on your holiday home listing page, which may not be open/available. We apologise in advance for any inconvenience.
