"We found our French farmhouse in Grasse, about a half-hour north of Cannes, through Rentvillas.com... that we all considered "perfect." Set on a hillside surrounded by olive trees, the rental house was charming and economical. [The cost was] substantially less than any hotel in the area."
May 2007, The Houston Chronicle, "10 Things to Do That Won't Break the Bank"

"At the top end are villas that come with housekeepers, cooks and kitchens fully outfitted with cutting-edge appliances—not to mention Wi-Fi, satellite TV, PlayStation and all the other technological toys people take for granted at home. A week in May at the Villa sur Mer, a palace for hire on the Côte d'Azur with sweeping ocean views and an English-speaking chef, goes for a cool $35,715 on Rentvillas.com."
May 2007, Newsweek International, "The Comforts of Home"

"Customer service is a priority; a 'travel adviser' rather than an agent will assist you. ...My friend... has had luck with California-based Rentvillas.com, so I begged them to find me a desireable spot fast. Three days before departure we secured a four-bedroom house near Sarlat for $1,400."

"A Web search led us first to a service that wanted a third of the rental fee wired to a bank in Luxembourg, with the rest to be paid in cash upon arrival, a scenario about which we had more than a few doubts. We looked further, and found a California-based rental agency, Rentvillas.com. We were assigned a 'travel consultant' named Amy who sent cheerful and helpful e-mail messages. When we had narrowed our choice down to two one-bedrooms by looking at photos on the Web site, she informed us that one of them got a musty smell when it rained. So we went with Cesare (all the apartments from all the services have a name, like pets), a few blocks west of the Piazza Navona. It would cost $2,484 for nine nights. As it was just a month away, we had to pay the whole amount - but it was by credit card."
New York Times, June 2004. "There's No Place Like Rome"

"I found countless Web sites devoted to rentals, but my inquiries were rarely answered. Ultimately, I landed on the extremely efficient Rentvillas.com site, and secured a four-bedroom mas - a Provencal stone house - with a pool and within walking distance of the medieval hill town of Gordes."
T + L Family, Spring/Summer 2003, "Chez You - France"

Then click on those villas that make the cut for a glimpse of your very own room with a view."
Conde Nast Traveler, October 2000; "50 Essential Travel Sites"

"[Rentvillas.com] is up-front and honest. Specializing in midrange properties, it puts the descriptions on the Internet, with reviews including both positive and negative comments from previous clients. That means you learn in advance about drawbacks, from noisy roads to infestations of insects."
