    I dont know if you are looking for a villa for a holiday or long term rent. The accommodation seeking site you mentioned is good. I have used the site myself in the past for holiday bookings. Fear of being ripped-off is only natural.

    If you are thinking of renting long term, I would suggest private booking which usually works out much cheaper. But, you would have to make contact with home owners.

    Also, why confine yourself to a villa. Usually, a villa is more expensive. Also, many villas tend to be comparatively isolated. Perhaps a decent apartment (low rise) would work out better. You would have more closer contacts and probably would be nearer supermarkets, shops etc.

    Deciding on which area is next, I presume. I would recommend that you visit several sites and size up each to suit your requirements.
  • I have used http://www.homelidays.co.uk/ a few times without problem. Vast selection of properties in Spain.

    hi,

    we have also used owners direct for a villa in spain and were very happy with it.

    We are considering using these for next year...

    www.espanabreaks.com as we've seen a villa we really really like. Alot of them have reviews from holiday makers too.
