So you book the villa with the owner, but the site put you in touch with them through the advert. With this type of holiday it’s worth ensuring you have adequate travel insurance, that the owner gives you booking conditions, and you clarify with the owner any issues or concerns that you have. You won’t be bonded through ABTA or any other association, so pay by credit card if you can for added protection.
