You've probably been advised by friends, co-workers and family that a villa rental in Spain is the perfect option on your next holiday to the country. This is the fastest growing segment in the tourism industry and with the profile of travelers to Spain changing drastically in the last decade, a vacation rental has become the accommodation of choice for most.

There are thousands of websites advertising villa rentals in Spain to suit every kind of holiday need, budget and preference. The range of villas available is from plain and basic to super-luxury and the size of accommodation can vary from a tiny villa that houses a couple to enormous properties that can safely sleep up to thirty people and everything in between! Facilities and features offered may range from the bare essential type where you bring your own linen and towels to opulent villas that stock every conceivable luxury. You're really spoiled for choice – and unless you're going by what a trusted friend or co-worker has recommended based on their personal experience, it's worthwhile to understand the pros and cons of a villa rental before you plunge in.

On the plus side, unlike the standard cookie-cutter hotel or resort accommodation, a villa is unique and you can make it your temporary home with a few personal touches. Once you're settled-in and unpacked, you don't need to worry about living out of a suitcase. If you've opted for self-catering, you can carry the staples, spices and essentials that your family can't do without when you're traveling with kids and seniors. A villa rental allows you to stay as close to the things you want to do on vacation: whether it's lounging on the beach, visiting museums, climbing mountains, skiing or surfing, a culinary experience or wine-tasting – you can look for a villa that's located nearby and avoid transportation costs. You can decide what you want: jacuzzi, private pool, tennis courts, cycling-trails, gardens, play area for kids, wheel-chair access for seniors etc. Villa rentals offer superb privacy, flexibility and great cost-sharing benefits apart from sharing chores and spending quality time with the people you love.

The flip side is you may discover that colorful brochures and fancy ads don't tell the whole story. You could find yourself in a remote location without access to health-care, super-markets, cash-machines, etc. It may turn out to be a disappointment to realize that you're miles away from the beach, the furniture is shabby and the hygiene leaves much to be desired. Unless you've talked personally to the owner beforehand, you could end up being billed for all kinds of “extras.” After the initial excitement, household chores can become drudgery.

With a little time and patience, you can zero in on the perfect villa rental in Spain for that dream holiday.
