We have literally hundreds of villas so selecting one can be a little time consuming (although a lot of fun!). To make life easier we have grouped some of our villas into categories – for example if you must be on a beach try Beachfront or if you are a golf addict then Going for Golf may be the one for you. Just click on the category and use the filters to narrow down your search. Our Villa Characteristics can be searched at any time using our Advanced Search button. Happy hunting - remember if you cannot find what you want our customer service is here to help.

BEACHFRONT

	Sand, sea and sun – a perfect combination for a perfect holiday. These villas are all right on the beach. Feel the sand, listen to the waves…start to relax. (If the beach is important but beachfront is not, try our Beach in Ten villas.)

BEACH IN TEN

	If being near the sea is a holiday ‘must have’, but walking into your bedroom with sand between your toes isn’t, these villas are less than 10 minutes drive from the beach - many within the soothing sound of the surf. (If you have to be right on the sand then try our Beachfront villas.)

KID FRIENDLY

	Happy kids make for a happy holiday. These villas are packed with things for the kids to do or have plenty of attractions in the local area. Whether it is Wii or WiFi, pool (snooker) or pool (swimming), it's boards rather than bored. We can’t guarantee that every property is 100% ‘kid safe’, but we can guarantee that there will be plenty to keep them entertained.

BRING THE RELATIVES

	Much as you love the in-laws sometimes you both need a little space on holiday. Try these villas which have annexes or spread out rooms to retreat to for that afternoon nap or to read a book far from the madding, or is it maddening, crowd.

FAIR SHARE FOR GROUPS

	Nothing more frustrating than squeezing into a kids bunk whilst your friends lounge in the master suite. These villas have equitable sleeping arrangements and bathrooms so nobody ends up with the short straw – or bed for that matter.

Most will feature great staff, big kitchens, and lots of space to make lots of noise – some even with a DJ booth! Pop the champagne, turn up the music and let the party begin. (If you are planning a large event, please let us know at the time of booking.)

CITY ESCAPE

	Prefer seeing the sites, cruising the shops and trying out the local restaurants right on your doorstep. If isolation is not your thing but you need to be in the thick of things and don’t want an expensive hotel - try our city centre apartments and homes.

EXECUTIVE ESCAPE

	Think out of the box. Brainstorming needs more than a boardroom and coffee. Get inspired for that trailblazing product or strategy or build camaraderie with colleagues at these mind-refreshing villa getaways. Projectors, fax machines, WiFi, air conditioned rooms suitable for meetings and a good coffee machine are just some of facilities you would expect to find to oil the wheels of industry.

ECO AWARE

	Eco aware and villas are not often seen in the same sentence. However eco friendly detergents, water reusing, bio sewage treatment, solar panels and recycling – these villa owners are aware of their responsibilities and make a real effort to limit the impact their villa has on the local environment.

GASTRONOMIC DELIGHTS

	Food, glorious food! Hot sausage and mustard! Cold Jelly and custard! Perhaps not quite, but these villas have been specially selected for their exceptional chef, marvellous menus, cookery courses or other culinary specialties. No Oliver, or Olivia for that matter, will be going hungry here.
