We have tried to answer the most common questions. Please contact us if you do not find the answer to your question here.

At Hello Sun we offer personalized one-of-a-kind holiday rentals just like in a fine hotel. We have found, that the holiday rental industry tends to provide a very inconsistent experience to the guests. At Hello Sun we are dedicated to improvement. 

With us you can be sure that:

  • Each property has been carefully chosen and offers first-rate amenities you’ll love. You can expect each of our properties to be professionally cleaned and well-appointed.

Many companies operate listing rental homes directly by the homeowners. That means that once a guest books the property, they need to work directly with the homeowner in case of problems during their holiday. However, Not all homeowners are available all the time. This could be a hassle for homeowners and the holiday guests who do not want to spend their precious time on trouble solving.

Hello Sun lines are open 24/7  and we are ready to help our guests with any problem it might occur. We use local teams to guide and assist the guests in every way and you will never have to contact the owner directly. With Hello Sun you can be sure of an amazing holiday experience every time.

We are here for you!
