7 things to check before booking a villa

Booking a villa online is fast; asking the right questions is essential.

## 1. Photos & capacity

Bedrooms, bathrooms and guest count should match your needs. Photos should be current.

## 2. Availability & minimum stay

Check blocked dates and minimum nights.

## 3. Price lines

Nightly rate, cleaning (if any) and security deposit are separate. Deposit is usually not in the stay total.

## 4. Payment plan

Clarify deposit vs balance and accepted methods.

## 5. Cancellation policy

It varies by season and villa — read the confirmation terms.

## 6. Check-in / check-out

Often around 16:00 / 10:00; confirm on the listing.

## 7. Support

Make sure you have a contact channel during your trip.

This checklist makes the process clearer and safer.
