Do you have a villa
* that is detached,
* with its own pool,
* with simple, high standard finishes,
* offering high quality, high value holiday accomodation
where the building works on the villa and any in the immediate vicinity are completed?
If you have answered yes to ALL of the above then please email us with some information about your villa (description, photos, website etc) and we will get straight back to you with our proposal.
What do we offer you?
1. We offer you: an established company with a large returning customer base.
We have been in this business for a number of years (since 2003) and although our growth has been fast it has also been carefull and controlled. Our portfolio of properties has grown on the basis of word of mouth recommendations amongst villa owners. We don't chase owners for their custom. Apart from one or twoproperties every other property has come to us via a recommendation from a satisfied owner.
Our business philosophy is not based on trying to keep you (the villa owners) happy - not directly anyway! We know that you will be happy when you have lots of bookings for your property from happy returning renters who enjoy and respect your property. So our emphasis and business strategy has been (and is) to make our renters happy, by giving plentyof accurate information and delivering what we (and you) say we will deliver - which is high value, high quality accommodation and service. And our customers ARE happy and ARE coming back to us for repeat bookings....and so are their friends, families and colleagues to whom they recommend us. See what our customers say about their experience!.
Your customers may not necessarily come back to your property because, understandably, they want a change and theymay wishto see other parts of the island so they will choose other properties (and the returning customers of the other properties will choose yours!) and thats because they are confident that when they book through us they are likely to enjoy the same high value holiday accommodation and service that they have experienced before.
2. We offer you: large internet exposure
At present our website is receiving over 500 UNIQUE visitors a day (thats more than 15,000 per month ) who are specifically looking for villas in Cyprus. The graph below shows the number of unique visitors to our website per day . The data are provided by www.statcounter.com (our own visits to the website are not counted). Our webhosting company's count is at least 20% higher than that from statcounter.com.

This is the kind of website traffic that you need to achieve all-year-round bookings for your villa in Cyprus. Our visitors are directed to our website when they search for villa holiday accommodation in Cyprus. We make sure that we are on the first page of results for all likely search phrases for all the important search engines (Google, Yahoo, MSN, and many others).
Even the independent monitor Alexa is picking up our volume of traffic. In fact in terms of page views per million of internet users, Alexa says that the performance of Getaway-Villas.com in the last few months is comparable to that of Jamesvillas.co.uk ( major uk villa holiday operator ) - just type jamesvillas.co.uk in the "compare sites" box in the Alexa window, you will get a comparison, as shown below.

This traffic translates to a steady stream of bookings for our villas. Compare the availability calendars for the villas on our site (particularly those that older than a few weeks ) with those from other agents and advertising sites.
3. We offer you: efficient, clean and transparent dealings with your customers and with you
We, at Getaway-Villas (Safe Ventures Ltd) propose to act as your non-exclusive Booking Agent. We take the concerns of marketting and the booking process away from you and handle all the bookings through us from the initial approach by the customer to the completion of their stay and the refund of their security bond. We then pay the cleared rental funds to the accommodation Owner (minus our commission). If we do not achieve any bookings there is nothing to pay us for our efforts.
You as Owners get a copy of ALL the booking details from the start and you get bi-monthly payments for completed bookings and statements for completed and future bookings. You have online access to our availabiity calendars and you can use them on your own website if you have one.
Our contract with the villa owners is based on three documents.
| The agreement between You (the Owner) and Us (the Agent) |

We would like to share our success with other owners and also provide more options and service to our visitors.
If you think that your villa fits our theme of high standard, high value for money, private accommodation please contact us to discuss.
We hope that you will take up our offer. If you are interested please email us . If you wish to appoint us as Agents please include some information about your villa (description, digital photos, website addres, if you have one, etc)
