One of the reasons for villas appearing more expensive is the $ to £ exchange rate which has dropped dramatically over the past couple of years..was £ 1 = 1.5 $...now £1 = !.3$ or lower..owners have to pay all bills in $ of course

As for the add-ons...some companies have cashed in on adding on all sorts..homeaway being one of the worst for this
US sites will always show prices without tax and clean ..to be added to final figures..standard procedure

the Dibb is the best site...friendly owners...you can build up a good rapport...
