If you’re planning your next holiday on the continent, renting a luxury villa may be a better choice than simply staying in another identikit hotel. But if you’re not convinced then read on to discover some of the reasons that people choose Mediterranean villa holidays.
You Can Bring the Whole Family
Let’s face it, very few families have exactly 2 children and if you’ve ever tried to book a hotel holiday for a family of 5, then you’ll be aware of the horrors of hotel room logistics. Booking a hotel for anything more (or less) than 2 adults and 2 children is complex. Do you entrust your oldest child with their own hotel room? Or divide your family in half, with your husband and half your offspring in another room? Some families opt to bring the mother in law along to make up the numbers and avoid paying the hefty single supplement, but then, is it really the same type of holiday?
Villa holidays offer the perfect solution, as with a luxury villa you can choose the number of rooms you require. This means that your family are all housed together under one roof and you can give your children their own rooms whilst still having the peace of mind that they are safe and sound. Whether you want to include your mother in law on a villa holiday or not is entirely your own decision. Some villas are even big enough to bring grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins for a family reunion.
Fussy Eaters
In a hotel there’s a chance that your child may not take to the local cuisine and when that happens you’re forced to resort to the hotel children’s menu, where everything comes with a side order of chips. So what do you do? Force paella down your child’s throat, or let them eat chips for two weeks straight?
Most luxury villas come equipped with their own stove, microwave and refrigerator, so you can cook your child whatever they, or you, want. This also helps to make your villa holiday more affordable as you can shop for produce at local markets, also giving you a chance to interact with the locals and sample some delicious local delicacies.
Villa Holidays Are Quieter
Hotels have to cater to everyone, from the 18 30 year olds on their clubbing holidays to families looking for a relaxing break away from the stresses and strains of modern life. This means that they are often located in bustling neighbourhoods that are close to the beach for families, and close to the clubs for the party animals. Whilst the in town location can seem great, do you really want to be nursing your two year old back to bed when other hotel guests arrive back from their bars and clubs at 3 in the morning? Thought not.
You can find luxury villas in more secluded locations, overlooking beautiful beaches and nestled amongst greenery. Villa holidays offer your family the privacy that you require, whilst overlooking scenic landscapes and views that are unspoiled by clusters of resort hotels. Many luxury villas also include their own swimming pool, so there’s no need to share with other families. And if you are a party animal? Well, there are also luxury villas located close to bars and clubs in many resorts. However, with many luxury villas containing their own pool and barbecue, don’t be surprised if you find that you’re the one hosting the party.
