We rented a villa on Amalfi Coast We rented a villa on Amalfi Coast, Italy for two weeks. The day before our departure (group of 29) we received an email from RentVillas.com, and a series of total lies began (rentvillas said the owners of the villa would lock us out and we would not get possession of the villa if we didn’t work with them to help remedy a situation that had developed (through no fault of ours). A series of conversations with rentvilllas and our credit card company ensued, and we had to jump through hoops to gain access, even going through the credit card company that we had used for the deposit. We became good friends with the owner (whose daughter was the property manager,) and she told us they had not been contacted from anyone with rentvillas! When we returned home, we found that they had finagled our credit card company to “chargeback” our deposit of over $14,000, then our credit card company wouldn’t reverse the charge because it was over the time limit for us to file for a refund! Rentvillas.com totally cheated us out of that hard-earned money ! They are total crooks, even lying about the Italian middle man saying the owners of the villa would not allow us access to the property even though we had paid for the two weeks in full! Whatever you do, don’t do business with this company!!! They are unscrupulous crooks who are cheating their customers out of tons of money. We tried fighting this as hard as we could but our credit card company would not help us so we had to “eat” the $14,000.

Don't Trust This Company We pre-paid $1,775 for an Italian villa through Rentvillas.com and two months before departure, was contacted by the CEO that they were unable to make the payment to the villa and we would need to pay the fees directly to the villa--again--if we wished to keep the reservation. Crushing, given we had saved for two years for this trip. CEO promised to reimburse us after selling some assets but it's been 5 months and he stopped responding after a couple months.

Over 30 days & unable to contact via… Over 30 days & unable to contact via phone , webpage & email . In dispute with major credit card company - have to wait a few more weeks before credit goes from provisional to permanent . $$$$

This company is uncontactable This company is uncontactable. I have sent E mails and messages every day for the past week, and then tried phoning from the U.K. - absolutely no response. They have my $2,000 deposit for a swiss chalet in February, but unable to contact them in any way for confirmation and arrangements. Has this company gone bankrupt, or are they just swindlers?

They don't answers emails They don't answers emails. Are they even still in business?
