What is a villa?

If you want a relaxed and hassle-free holiday this is the way to do it. Villa rentals combine all the best parts of your favourite holidays and we know that once you have tried a villa holiday, going back to hotels just won’t be an option. Villas aren't timeshares, our villas are private residences made available by their owners as holiday accommodations.

The villas we have selected are not just reserved for the rich and famous with big celebrity budgets. The villas we feature cater for every budget. We offer secluded villas starting from as little as £60/nt, to private islands from £10,000/nt. Villa rates vary depending on the number of guests in your party; however the price is always split between you making it a more economical option than hotels.

What is the difference between a chef and a cook?

A villa that includes the services of a chef hires someone that is professionally trained. It is their job to prepare sumptuous meals for guests. Cooks on the other hand can often double as housekeepers and usually have no formal training. As a general rule, their dishes are local specialties and leave guests very satisfied.
