Seven reasons to book a villa for your next dream getaway
Why settle for less when you can have it all? From private pools and peaceful gardens to generous living spaces, villa holidays offer freedom, flexibility, and unbeatable value. Here’s why your next dream getaway starts with a villa
Private pools, peaceful gardens, vast living spaces – and it’s all yours. Whether you’re travelling as a couple, family or with a group of friends, booking a villa is one of the easiest ways to holiday, with a guarantee of freedom, flexibility and incredible value for money.
With CV Villas, you’ll not just stay in some of the most beautiful hand-picked homes across the Mediterranean, Caribbean and more, but you’ll experience so much more of the area when you’re there. Here are just a handful more reasons why booking a villa for your next holiday may just be the best decision you make.
You get so much more for your money
Scour the CV Villas website and you’ll quickly see that villa holidays can be astonishingly good value. Think plush pads with infinity pools looking out over glittering sea, olive tree-dotted gardens, high-spec kitchens and homes worthy of celeb guests. That may cost you £1665 for a week, but when you find out it sleeps ten – and that figure becomes just £277 per person for seven nights – it becomes even more affordable, especially when compared to the price of a hotel room.
You’ll have serious amounts of space and privacy
When you rent a villa you’re not just confined to your hotel room and balcony, something that can be particularly tricky for parents when there’s a sleeping child to tiptoe around. Villas give you plenty of privacy and play areas, whether it’s an outdoor sofa with serene sea views, a bench in bougainvillea-draped gardens, numerous bedrooms (often with their own ensuite) or light-filled living spaces. Then of course, there’s your own private pool, for gentle laps or hardcore splashing. It’s a home away from home feeling – but better.
Mealtimes are made easy
A private chef? Just for you? Whether it’s a special occasion or you just fancy handing the dicing and dishes to someone else for a night – or a week – CV Villas is on hand to arrange a private chef, guaranteeing a delicious meal. Villas also give so much meal time flexibility too. Managing mealtimes as a family can be tricky – any parent who’s suffered the agonising wait for a restaurant to open, or in between courses, while their child gets even more hungry and tired, will relate. That’s before you think about the various family members who like to dine at different times – whether it’s a 6am toddler breakfast, or a 4pm mother-in-law supper. Having a fridge stashed with food means there are no conversations about what to eat and when – you can happily enjoy some meals together and separately, when that works better.
There’s freedom and flexibility
Mealtimes aren’t the only things that need flexibility on holiday. With a villa, everyone is free to wake, nap and head to bed on their own schedule, while still having plenty of time through the day and evenings to enjoy each other’s company. You won’t be restricted to hotel or restaurant opening times or pool hours – you set the pace in a way that works just for you. A regular cleaning service will make sure that the space always feels pristine and tidy, with towels and linen refreshed regularly.
You’ll explore so much more
Ahead of your stay, your CV Villa Specialist will take care of all the planning for you, from flights to car hire. As well as offering their own personal villa recommendations, after all, they have visited many of the villas themselves so can offer their own firsthand insight. Once there, a local Destination Expert is on hand to tell you about all the secret beaches, local restaurants and parking spots for your stay. They will help you book restaurants, boat trips and activities, and will make sure the villa is exactly as it should be. And by staying in a villa you’ll explore the destination so much more, without even realising it. Perhaps you’ll pop to the shops for a few more bottles of wine and some snack essentials, but pull over for a coffee at a cafe you like the look of along the way. Or perhaps you spot a sign for a beach, decide to turn down the track and come across the most beautiful stretch of sand at golden hour. It’s a more immersive way to experience a destination, creating even better memories.
It’s the ultimate celebration – for a couple, family or large group
A romantic villa for two on honeymoon, a gathering of friends for a big birthday, a ‘bring the entire family’ trip with kids, grandkids and grandparents: a villa holiday feels like a celebration of the people that really matter. And a celebration isn’t the only excuse to holiday – this is about taking time out to destress, reset, slow the pace and soak up Vitamin D in the most incredible of settings.
