Overpriced compared to what? I assume you are aware that their prices include roundtip air from the U.S. and transportaton within Europe. Plus they provide in-country support,tips on local shopping, walking and hiking routes, and the landlords are famously helpful and friendly.

Yes, you can find cheaper rentals on your own, but unless you've seen them with your own eyes, or someone you trust has inspected them, it's a crap shoot. Commit for a week, two weeks or a month, pay in full in advance and then find out when you arrive that it's a dump.

Overpriced is a term I"ve not heard applied to Untours.
