While staying in a hotel has its own benefits, if you’re going to be away for more than a few days, renting a villa or vacation home will make your experience a bit more pleasant. Not only will you have a place to kick back after a day of sunbathing, swimming, or sightseeing, but you’ll also have your own space to relax, cook, and entertain.
People often tend to avoid renting private accommodation, fearing it will be too expensive and consequently blow their budget. But think of all the money you’ll save cooking your own meals in a beautiful, spacious kitchen. Instead of dining at expensive restaurants and spending money on entertainment, you can find it all within one villa.
If money is not an issue, there are many vacation homes that will provide additional services such as a chef to cook your food, as well as maids and butlers. These are optional and will cost extra, but it goes without saying that hiring someone to take care of your daily chores will have a huge impact on your levels of relaxation and enjoyment.
In addition, if professional staff take care of your washing, cleaning and cooking tasks, you will have more time to spend with your children and your partner. This will allow you to take a real break from the duties of your everyday life, allowing you to unplug and relax or spend more time exploring the local area as a family.
Renting a villa is a great alternative for families who don’t want to stay in a hotel. Hotels generally provide little entertainment for children, and while a family lounge may be available, you probably don’t want to spend all of your time there. Also, if you don’t want to eat out at restaurants every night, you may not have an alternative.
Also, if you share a hotel room with your children, you will have few opportunities to spend time with your partner or friends after they have gone to sleep. By renting a multi-bedroom vacation home, you’ll have plenty of space to relax and entertain, including spacious dining rooms, living rooms, stereo systems, and even home theaters.
Additionally, some luxury accommodation options include access to a swimming pool where you and the children can play, swim or relax. In some cases, this offer can even be extended to an outdoor bar or even a spa area. Some of the larger vacation properties may also include gyms, while others offer a full concierge and waiter service.
To really reap the benefits of your surroundings, try to find a vacation home with a beautiful view. Depending on where you plan to stay, you may be able to find one in the mountains or with an ocean view. Being able to take in these views will make your entire trip feel more like a break from normal life, something we all need from time to time.
Without a doubt, a luxury rental will make your family vacation more enjoyable. You can rent houses, villas, condos, and apartments, in some cases at a very reasonable price. Whether you opt for a small two-bedroom property or something larger (villas can sometimes accommodate 8-10 couples), it will make a big impact on your trip.
