Why choose a private rental with a view for your holiday?

A villa with a view changes the way its outdoor spaces are used throughout the day. Breakfast might be taken facing the Atlas Mountains, a morning swim overlooking the Mediterranean Sea or dinner served with the Indian Ocean on the horizon. Rather than simply providing a backdrop, the landscape becomes part of daily life at the property.

The architecture of the villa also plays an important role in this relationship with the surroundings. Generous terraces, large windows, infinity pools and carefully arranged outdoor living areas create natural connections between inside and outside, making it possible to enjoy the landscape from different parts of the house.

For a family holiday, a romantic getaway or a stay with friends, choosing a luxury villa for its view also means choosing a particular setting: the mountains outside Marrakech, the lagoons of Mauritius, the Atlantic coast of Portugal or the Mediterranean landscapes of Spain and Corsica.

Villanovo: Luxury villas and beyond with dedicated concierge services

Beachfront stays, private pools, gardens and panoramic views

Villanovo offers a hand-picked selection of luxury villas across Europe, Africa and the Indian Ocean. Depending on the property, guests may find a private pool, direct or nearby beach access, spacious gardens, house staff or the services of a private chef.

Across Spain, for example, coastal settings extend from the Costa Brava to the Costa Blanca, while Portugal, Corsica and Mauritius offer very different relationships with the sea and surrounding landscape.

Villa stays with personalised services

A villa gives guests the freedom to organise meals and days at their own pace, while additional services can be arranged depending on the property. Our concierge teams can assist with airport transfers, private dining, activities, boat trips and family services without imposing a fixed programme on the stay.

A personalised travel book completes this service, bringing together selected restaurants, beaches, activities and places to discover, so guests can explore each destination at their own pace.
