Staying in a private property is very different from staying in a hotel in so many ways:

Experience a place as those knowing it would

Our properties are designed so as to maximize the experience of the area they are located in. They don’t provide a “sterilized” hotel environment, rather they reflect the personality of their owner and are fully adapted to the way of life of the island. When staying in a private villa or condo you get to know more about the destination you are visiting. And if you want to learn even more about that area, one of our agents can share some very interesting ideas.

Freedom

Experience the absolute freedom that only a private vacation rental can give: Imagine the luxury of having breakfast barefoot in your pajamas, of choosing where and when your dinner should be served, or of not worrying if your kids are running around shouting (as long as they don’t disturb you). Give the chef the night off (or at least tell the others you did) and surprise everyone with your cooking skills!

All spaces are yours

There are no "off-limit" areas in a private rental. You can go in the kitchen anytime you like, swim in your pool at 3 am watching the stars, or move your lounge chair to that spot you were dreaming of reading your book at since the moment you arrived.   If you decide to only rent one room/suite of the property, the other rooms will not be rented to anyone else. 

Real family moments

A villa offers the opportunity to really enjoy the company of your family or friends to the fullest. Having drinks at the terrace enjoying the sunset all together, playing cards under the shade, or just having some good laughs no matter how late it got, these will be the moments of your vacation that you will cherish the most.

Be the host

You can not really host your friends a family unless you feel at home. When renting a condo or villa you can be a real host for the ones you love. 

Privacy

Our villas are usually in private and sometimes secluded areas, far from the crowds and it is up to you whether or when you want to see and be seen.
