Our personalized services

What we like to offer you, above all at Villanovo, is a unique experience, incomparable memories and the absolute relaxation you deserve. Because for us holidays does not rhyme with constant research, shopping or housekeeping. In order to take care of these issues and the daily chores that don't have to taint your holiday, we have developed a concierge service dedicated to these worries and that will transform your stay into an à la carte holiday.

Whether you need to look after your children while you relax with your spouse or even for several hours a day, babysitting solutions can be offered, as well as housekeeping staff for the maintenance of your villa, a private chauffeur for all your travels who will take you to the most beautiful places or a chef and your pre-made groceries. Indeed, what could be better than enjoying delicious local dishes directly at home without having to search for the best restaurants in your destination? We make sure that you will be able to have a perfect meal every day at your villa without the headache of going through the task of organizing every meal. A multitude of services can be made available to make your life easier and to make your holiday truly different. For maximum indulgence, our villas with a private swimming pool and spa are ideal, but the possibility of having a massage by a professional person directly at your home is even better. As you can see, by choosing your villa according to our themes and attributes, and by adding some of the many à la carte services of our concierge service, you will be able to enjoy a holiday that suits you.

At the same time, before and during the preparations for your trip, we offer you assistance and advice through our online services such as our travel guides and authentic experiences or through our magazine. Indeed our travel guides and authentic experiences allow you to discover for each destination the best possible information. They cover a wide range of topics from the country's gastronomy, climate, the best activities, history, culture and traditions. It is in a way the Bible of your future destination, adapting our villas to your expectations.

At our website, you'll find all the things you need to know. Our pages dedicated to authentic experiences are a collection of activities for all tastes in the country, from the most unusual to the most popular with tourists.
Finally, through our magazine, we do our utmost efforts every day to inform and advise you in a general way and to provide you with knowledge about various destinations.

The adaptation of our villas to your expectations

First of all, at Villanovo, we believe that a different type of holiday does not involve a concrete tourist residence or a single type of accommodation. Every day, we carefully select a variety of property types offered to you: castles, private islands, riads or even fincas for experiences as close to local life as possible. We offer a wide choice of properties in our residences for every destination. Our villas are all unique and are located in privileged locations and generally are off the beaten track. For example, our Villa Lirio in the heart of the Costa Rican jungle or our charming island of Iris in Brittany offers you unique island experiences. These exceptional accommodations combined with the various services we offer you before and during your trip ensure that your holiday is very different from a club holiday despite its apparent luxury. We also want you to enjoy a comfortable stay while preserving the intimacy of your moments with your loved ones. For this reason, our villas are not totally isolated, but have a remote neighbourhood and as little contact as possible. So you will never be confronted with a neighbour who has your sunbathing for a view, or you will never be woken up by the cries of nearby children.

Your wishes may vary and we are keen to accompany you and to offer you destinations and accommodations that look like you and are in tune with yourself. To do this, we have recently acquired a range of eco-friendly villas that have been totally designed to limit their environmental impact and thus offer you a more sustainable tourism. Respect for the environment is also one of our objectives, and these new properties also offer a different and sometimes avant-garde experience.

The adaptation to your desires and the personalization being infinite, we also have developed a new axis which is that of the adequacy of your villa to your activities. Indeed, as you may have seen, some of our villas are equipped with a gym, tennis court and very often a private swimming pool. These different attributes allow each of you to combine relaxation and the pleasure of practising your physical activity. Thus, we recently offer you a range of villas adapted to the practice of yoga, so that you can practice your sessions and take yoga classes directly from your villa, without having to leave your home.
