Depending on the area or environment that an individual or family wishes to stay in, there are a variety of options when choosing a place to stay. There are traditional bed and breakfasts, which over homey rooms and home cooked meals. There are chain hotels, which offer uniform mediocre rooms and continental breakfasts. There are also houses and apartments, which offer privacy and open a variety of options to a renter or owner in terms of activities and staying conditions. Among the European vacation spots, there are villas, which range from small-scale houses and cottages, to lavish mansions with private pools and tennis courts.
It all really depends on the location being visited by a family or individual. Florence villa rentals are a popular option for families or individuals visiting Italy. However, Florence villas are going to differ from villas in Barcelona in a variety of ways. Villas in Barcelona are usually valued for their beachfront locations and simple construction and upkeep. Villas in Florence can also be valued for their beachfront locations, but the villas that are incredibly popular are the ones that are near large cities or vineyard-laden countryside. A villa in Florence can differ drastically in price depending on its proximity to a major city or tourist attraction.
A family or individual willing to rent a villa needs to be aware of some of the specifications of staying in one. An individual or family must realize that villas are stand-alone housing units that require limited upkeep by the tenants. Most renters will have a clause in the rental contract specifying that tenants must leave the villa in similar or better condition than when they first rented it. Because villas are usually adorned with their own kitchen, tenants and renters must clean any cooking appliances and utensils used, and should take left over food and beverages with them when they leave.
Potential renters must be aware of any specific upkeep and cleaning clauses that renters and landlords may try to hide in their contracts before they agree to sign. Breaking or not abiding by a renter or landlords rules and regulations can result in hefty financial fines to an individual or family, and can even result in lawsuits, costing renters piles of hard earned cash. Renters must also research and trust their renters or tenants, as showing up to a vacation spot and discovering that a rented address is fictional is a vacationers nightmare.
