Rental villas The VVV website now carries a comprehensive rental accommodation listing covering the Var. Listing on the VVV Website is FREE to subscribers. And page hits for the Rental pages increase all the time, in part due to fact that articles by the Editor, Anita Rieu-Sicart, appear regularly on the Expat pages of the London DAILY TELEGRAPH, thus increasing throughput to the site. Of the 38,712 VVV website pages viewed in 2008, for example, the villa rental page was the second most popular.
Recent changes have included adding colour pages and colour advertising, the better to accommodate all the range and diversity of events that happen in the Var - art, music, theatre, village festivities - throughout the year.
