Up until now we have just used Calisvilla.co.uk to advertise our rental and have always been very pleased with the number of enquiries, bookings and costs.
Sadly we now have to look for an alternative and I wondered what other peoples' experiences of other sites has been.
I have just spent a couple of hours looking at the big players and my first reaction is that they all seem very expensive and the owners' availability calendars suggest that they are not very successful .................
Hoping some one can save me making a big mistake ............ Thanks in advance

We have always used Owners Direct, they have some very reasonable villas and apartments on there. I know there are some people on the forum who have property that they let out, and I am sure they will be in touch with you. It might be useful if you could say what sort of property you are looking for.

Can i ask Phil, why are you thinking of looking for an alternative to advertise your property?
We always look at Calisvilla.c.uk first, as its all owners from this website...
-
Just to clarify ........ I want to advertise our villa for rent to prospective guests..... sorry if I confused you echogirl.......
( And I'll defer to Keith make any announcement he may wish to make public about Calisvilla.co.uk - probably the best way to avoid me starting a Calis rumour .)

Easily confused Phil, just re-read your post and obviously got hold of wrong end of stick!!

Lol Phil, think you just did exactly that ;)

ooops :o

Phil is trying to be tactful and you lot aren't letting him!
Calisvilla has had 12 great years (and great clients) but it is my only paid for website and with honest full time employment I don't feel I am able to offer the service they have been paying for in previous years.
Rather than take the money and offer a reduced level of service I have decided, with regret, to bring the site to an honourable close. Money isn't everything :)

If I knew anything at all about websites I would offer to run it for you.... but I'm an absolute novice.
It's a shame as I can imagine a lot of people rent with confidence from CBF members - a bit of a security blanket.

If any one did fancy taking it over please count me in for a renewed subscription.

I obviously misread it as well..
Calisvilla,s is a great place to advertise, so many people book from there.

This is an unashamed bumping of this topic to put it back on course before the weekend to see if anyone has any recommendations as to which sites to use to advertise properties for rent on the Calis area.
Looking for any feedback about the costs and the success of some the big sites like Owners Abroad and Owners Direct etc....... or any suggestions as to any smaller more specialised sites.
Any info from owners currently advertising their place in the sun will be much appreciated.

Cenk and Olga of InterTurk Estates are highly reccomended on CBF. They do rentals
