Currently looking to book a Villa for next year for my mum's retirement holiday, 8 of us going. I'm struggling to find good websites to search for this type of accommodation. Has anyone used a comparison site in the past with much success?

Are you familiar with Google?
Just Europe, criteria is quite loose but couldn't find any good sites or anything that looked reputable. Thanks for the links, will have a look and hopefully get something booked.
Villa Plus, Owners Direct and Affinity Villas are companies i've used before and all have been painless.
Consider online shopping too. For the last 3 villas I've rented in Portugal I've done an online shop to arrive the same day we do (first time the supermarket didn't deliver to the area and said they would do it for a €50 charge, I put the order through for 10 of us for 2 weeks which came to just over €1000 and they very oblingingly waived the fee!
). Takes care of the 1-2 weeks for main food groups, beers/wines/spirits and saves a few of the group either taking the rental cars or getting taxis to the local supermarket and breaking your backs loading and unloading. Instead get it delivered into your kitchen whilst you all enjoy the first day of sunshine.
