On this site you will find a small selection of rental villas and apartments chosen specially because of their good quality and varied size, location and amenities. All are owned by our friends.
You may want us to handle your rental bookings only. In addition you may want guests to be welcomed on arrival, weekly cleaning or total property management. We offer all these services.
Several holiday homes that we rent out have been purchased or built with the help of Tony and are now under his day-to-day management - see www.island-homes.biz. Hence the “friendship” factor!
Our aim is to offer guests and owners 'a dedicated and personal service where you can be certain of good value for money'.
