Each villa has its own personality—and with it, a varied number of pricey add-ons. Before you sign the contract, ask what's included:
• If the house is staffed, the fee is often built into the price, but tips are not covered.
• Some properties charge for extras, like use of the phone, heat, and laundry service.
• In certain Caribbean islands and European countries, government taxes (usually between 7 and 12 percent) are a separate charge.
• Most agencies offer to stock the fridge before you arrive, but don't be surprised to find this service on the bill.
