Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Booking process was good, all seems straightforward so far. But having issues contacting office though, need to make an enquiry and the chat system never seems to be working ?

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Lots of good properties in interesting places at reasonable prices. However, each one could do with more info on what's in the surrounding area.

The range of properties available is great, however beware of hidden charges. Electricity is often extra (and can be expensive if you have air conditioning or a pool at the property). We had a charge... See more

Terrible customer service

A property we rented specifically because it had two bathrooms which we needed as we were two couples and wanted privacy. The upstairs shower room was unusable due to the shower door not fitting tightly. We tried showering three times and the resulting flood was unacceptable. A clean up job each time! We reported it to the housekeeper who said several people had complained but the owner did nothing. On our return to the UK we emailed novasol and were told that we did not have a complaint as the shower was working. As far as novasol were concerned having to mop the floor was not a problem. Not good enough and VERY poor service.
Novasol has cornered the market for rental properties in France so it's difficult to find a company that offers such a wide choice but the customer service is abysmal.

My bad experience with Novasol

I rented Villa Sophia in Tuscany from Novasol, first of all I wasn't told that I'll have to pay for electricity used till after my booking, upon arrival on Sat we found out there was no hot water in the villa, we had no hot water till Tuesday, some 4 days later, I kept contacting them, only to be told they had informed the person who was the key holder!!
Also no wifi for the whole duration of my 2 weeks stay which meant no internet access for our phones and computer and no tv, I kept informing Novasol they kept telling me it's getting sorted the next day !! at the end they offered a derogatory 180 Euros, it cost us more than that for the data use over the 2 weeks, not mentioning the lack of entertainment and loss of business for not being able to stay in touch via computer, I shall not use them again and would not recommend them.

No problems (so far) here.

We’d used Fincallorca before so headed back to the Novasol website to look for a villa for our 2026 summer holiday in Mallorca. As always they have a great selection of high quality properties and we quickly found one that suited our requirements and tastes. Checking dates for availability was really simple as was the booking process. All in all a great booking experience and if our previous holiday is anything to go by, we expect the in country service to be just as good.

Brilliant company

Brilliant company. Staff in Greece very helpful and responsive. Villa was great and staff were on hand for any questions before and during our stay. Highly recommend Novasol.

Easy to book on line and to manage booking through the online account. It would be better if there was a call centre to speak with a sales assistant but the online service was very helpful itself.

The holiday home was exactly as it was described on the website and as it was represented in the photos. We had a lovely holiday.

I made a booking for next October but realised later that I couldn't get a flight till the following day.
I contacted the help service, and they quickly cancelled the booking and arranged the apartment for the new dates. Very efficient and helpful.
