A villa is a spacious and often luxurious house that sits in its own attractive grounds. Villas are common in some areas of continental Europe, particularly in the Mediterranean where the weather is very warm and pleasant - they are often used for summer vacations by their owners or short-term renters. Cottage houses, on the other hand, tend to be a little smaller and more rustic than villas. Cottages are great for holiday-goers looking to hunker down somewhere cozy and traditional during the winter months, or those looking to experience an authentic taste of rural Europe. The UK and France are particularly famous for their pretty and characterful cottages.
Villa rentals capture the essence of the phrase "home away from home" so perfectly that you may never want to leave once you step foot inside one of these luxury villas. Unlike the confining walls of an ordinary hotel, a private villa allows you to live your vacation by your own rules. It offers the opportunity to create memories that will last a lifetime, like dining in a rustic Italian kitchen; waking up to sunshine streaming through the windows of a bedroom overlooking the dazzling Mediterranean; or watching your children play games in the magical gardens of your French retreat.
