They have got back and are going "try to find" another 5 bed and will let us know early next week what they have.

You need to tell them that try isn't good enough - they need to find somewhere, or you'll be booking elsewhere and claiming the difference from them.

Do you have a link to the villa, I did ask before, it would help others point you in the right direction

I think you need to see if you can find one yourself - anything left might be prepared to do a deal.

The weather in England has help people stay in the UK, so bookings abroad are down!

If you find anything get your original place to refund!

Took your advice and found a couple we liked and they said we could swap to either one. Holiday is back on thanks.:T

I often wonder why these accommodations are called villas.

Surely they are just houses. Do the local population call them Villas or detached houses with perhaps a pool or something. Maybe someone will correct me!

why is the villa a secret, naming it could stop others falling for the same mistake, unless they have amended the description

While we don't know if it's actually happened, post #8 says

They said in their email that they would "urgently amend their listing of the villa to reflect the change"

"Villa" is a Latin word which translates as "a house in the country". It was often used to refer to the country property to which the wealthier Romans would retreat when needing respite from life in the city.

Yep I read that before I posted.


Which is why I posted "unless they have amended"


maybe the OP could let the forum know
