Searching for rentals in Spain (apartments, villas, townhomes and more)

If you don’t know where to live in Spain, do your research in advance.  And if possible go on a scoping trip.  When working with agencies, they will only show you what they have on hand and many people don’t list with an agency, so look at all options.  It is likely one house is listed with many different agencies, so look around and find the best price.  Here are a few of the property search sites which have Spain holiday rentals as well as long-term and short-term rentals.

Shorter Stays

If you plan to visit Spain for more than 1 week or 1 month, you should be able to negotiate.  Many times it is best to rent something for 1-2 weeks, this will allow you time to get to know the area while searching for your long-term rental.  Besides, it’s best to see properties in person, as some photos may be very outdated.

Organized Tours

Look at all of the organized tours for you to enjoy from being active on walking or biking tour, to enjoying a food or wine tour.  Viator offers so much to do and has so many great offers for you.  Click here to see their latest Spain Deals!
