We were reluctant to book with James Villas. It was early January 2026 and JV started to reappear in our searches for a summer holiday. I'd thought JV had gone, but there it was. Lots of properti... See more

Website would not save shortlist, even when logged in.
We've used James Villas many times in the past and are loyal and happy customers. My gripe is simply that the website would never save my shortlists. Once we had chosen a villa, everything was very smooth.

First time customers
This is the first time I've used James Villas and so far I'm very pleased with the very friendly and helpful service. There is a really good choice of villas and the website was easy to navigate. So far I would recommend this company to my friends.

We were given totally wrong information on the villa we booked in Menorca. We booked Villa Adriana, in Santo Tomas, there wasn't a full address but I googled it and found it , I also used my vr headset to go on Wander and found the street, so I knew where it was when we got there, but it showed a different villa on the photos, we assumed the photo must have been a view from the back.
Got to Villa Ariana and the key code didn't work..on the email it said go to Hotel Santo Tomas for help, so off we trailed there, they knew nothing of this, so sent us to another hotel, who gave us a key, which didn't work, no one had a clue, I then showed a photo of the villa and it turned out to be the wrong one! The villa we ended up in has no name on it but is in area G8 the other was in R11..we are now in a villa on a main road with no gate and opened on to the public footpath.. it is the one in the photo but I wouldn't have booked this as there is no privacy as the pool is at the front and on view to everyone..
All the info on the website is wrong, it even says about the name of the villa next door if family or friends wanted to book it to be next door, the villa next door us a private residency and the one on the other side has a different name and smaller than they said.
I have emailed them and got an apology but nothing else...surely this is missed managed .
Apart from not being private and where we thought it was its a beautiful villa inside. But not what we thought we had booked..
