Italy
An easy to use website for holiday houses in Sicily. It is about holiday rentals mainly by private owners and it allows to contact these owners directly. There are houses of different sorts, as apartments and villas, and in different tourist locations, which is good if you intend to travel in the island rather than staying in one place and need to look for more places where to stay. The best thing is that where owners have done a good job you can find many pictures of the house and very good local information. If you are travelling in Italy and not just to Sicily then look for other Italian tourist destinations with houses listed.
I've not done the whole villa thing before but with 6 of us on holiday this worked out at about £100/person for the week. Italian Breaks is run by Cristina, a Sicilian ex-pat, so just about every nook and cranny on the island is covered and we had the best value for money holiday for a long time. Recommended!
