    Villa holidays are all about taking time out. There's no breakfast queue or 7am sun-bed rush, so you're free to do whatever you want, when you want. A private villa is the ideal way to enjoy a holiday full of space, freedom and tranquillity. In a private villa you can enjoy your own home away from home, there’s no timetable to follow, you can decide when to go out sightseeing, or when to simply sunbathe by the pool, therefore, making it a great choice for a family holiday.
