There are thousands of luxury villa holidays to choose from. But what do you need to look for when choosing a luxury villa in Italy?
PRICE - If money is no object there are a huge range of luxury villa holidays to choose from. From grand ancient palaces to modern villas with private pools, Italy has a villa for you. But the price of the villa is not all you will have to pay for, so make sure you take other costs into account when setting a budget.
Villa hire will not cover flights or transfers, which may eat up a large percentage of your holiday money. Use a website like Skyscanner.net to compare flight prices.
Even if your budget stretches to cover the more luxury villa holidays, you will still need to bear in mind any other costs which you may have to pay. Prices may not include towel hire, linen change, extra beds, air-conditioning, WiFi, or staff such as maids, chefs or chauffeurs. Find out exactly what you are paying for in the price of the villa. You will probably also have to pay a deposit, which is understandable when a luxury villa is in your hands, but make sure you have enough Euros to pay for this on arrival.
If you would like to make your stay extra special, think about booking a chef (for the entire stay or a single special meal), a maid (if service is not included), champagne or flowers, cookery courses or a taxi which will be ready for your arrival. Good booking companies of luxury villa holidays will be able to provide these for you, ensuring that you have a holiday to remember.
LOCATION- Look at the location in regards to you and your fellow travellers' needs. Think about the level of activity your holiday requires. Some luxury villas are conveniently set within town centres, whereas others offer panoramic views across the sea from a high location. Whether or not you have access to a car with a driver is a key deciding factor when it comes to location if you are hoping to make visits during your holiday.
The Tuscan countryside comprises picture-postcard rolling hills, there are villas with panoramic views on the Amalfi coast, or try the Italian lakes for turquoise waters on your doorstep. Italy has something to please everyone, so researching possible locations is important. If you are looking for somewhere purely to relax by your own pool however, your location is less restricted and accommodation may be more important.
ACCOMMODATION - There are a range of luxury holiday villas in Italy, each with their own charm. Splashing out on what you hope to be the holiday of a lifetime means you will want to spend your time in surroundings which suit your style and your needs. The number of bedrooms and bathrooms is important, as is whether you have your own pool, whether you have to share one, or whether you do not have one at all.
Look into other amenities such as a garden, barbeque, private beach access or parking space. You may require staff such as a chef, nanny, maid, chauffeur, waiting staff, masseuse, personal trainer or a concierge service. Good luxury villa holidays agents will be able to arrange these for you on request, but one or more may be included in the price.
There are many factors to consider when booking luxury villa holidays. It may sound daunting, but careful research is all you need to ensure a perfect luxury villa holiday.
