Best websites to rent apartments

So my wife and I booked a trip in the Spring of 2016 and for the most part, stayed in apartments booked through Air BnB or VRBo, and across the board had great experiences. We're planning a return trip for next Spring and want to do the same thing. I was curious if there were any other sites that have come up that might be as good or better. Also, are there any good sites for renting farm stays (or even better winery stays) in Tuscany. Not meals-included hotel type stays, but more down to earth.

Thanks in advance!

You can rent apartments in addition to hotels on www.booking.com. We rented an apartment in a B&B in Bruges through that site a couple years ago.

Sometimes the site for a smaller city/region will yield options that other sites do not, so it depends on where you are going. You might Google "vacation apartments in ______". I have had good luck with this in parts of Italy.

I found the apartment I rented in Rome this summer on Booking.com. It was also on some of the other resources that Roberto listed. I booked through Booking.com for the first time ever and it worked out well.

I also rented an apartment in Venice that I found through VRBO. That was directly with the owner.

Both listings said that I'd have to pay in cash. Both owners had the little hand held machines for credit cards and I paid by CC for both. Love it!

Not sure where you are going but I would recommend Windows On Italy. They have fantastic properties at reasonable prices.
