THE VILLAHOTEL – THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS
Villazzo created the VillaHotel Concept to give you the vacation experience of a lifetime: a selection of the most exclusive resort destinations and villas, combined with personalized five-star hotel services. No longer must you choose between the personal touch of a luxury hotel or the private, secluded charm of a villa – with Villazzo, your villa is set up for you like your own personal hotel.
Now, even the most discerning luxury travellers can experience the best of both worlds. VillaHotels cater to your every whim and special need, creating a truly magical vacation experience that cannot be matched by any other villa service in the world.
Don’t be fooled by others who misuse the term “villahotel” – they merely offer a limited, one-person concierge service along with your villa rental. Villazzo is the true creator of the VillaHotel Concept, and gives you a truly personalized, hotel-like vacation experience, complete with an entire team of service staff and amenities that you’d find in an exclusive boutique hotel.
THE VILLAZZO VILLAHOTEL STANDARD – HAND-PICKED VILLAS, CHOSEN WITH YOU IN MIND
The Villazzo VillaHotel Standard begins with the careful, expert selection of fine villas in only the most sought-after resort destinations worldwide.

Unlike our competitors, who simply compile lists of rental properties from around the world and act as middlemen in renting them out to guests, Villazzo’s talented team of experts determine the most exclusive, high-end destinations in the world, and then find the newest villas within those destinations in order to bring you the most unique, exceptional luxury villas and estates possible. You can be assured that every VillaHotel has been hand picked by our staff and exemplifies the pinnacle of culture, sophistication, and attention to detail.
We have a long list of standards which each potential VillaHotel has to pass through:
- Luxury both inside and out
- Pristine high-end Bathrooms
- Gourmet Kitchen and Bar
- Outdoor Pool, Jacuzzi, or Hot Tub
- Home Entertainment Center
- Wireless high-speed Internet
- Central Air Conditioning (often a problem in southern Europe)
Only the top five of all villas in each Villazzo destination make it into our “VillaHotel” portfolio.
THE VILLAHOTEL TRANSFORMATION – FROM HOME TO HOTEL AND BACK AGAIN
Once a villa has been hand-selected by Villazzo, it undergoes an incredible transformation in order to become a VillaHotel. Many villa rental agencies throughout the world claim to offer hotel-like services, but none of them invest the time, care, and amenities that Villazzo does.
While a villa concierge service simply reacts to your needs, the VillaHotel Transformation proactively equips your villa with a wealth of fine amenities, personal touches, and subtle details that will simply amaze you. Villazzo’s transformation process involves tens of thousands of dollars in added hotel amenities to elevate your villa to the level of a personalized hotel.

Villazzo’s approach to creating a truly magical vacation experience is to transform a villa from an elegant home into a private, luxury hotel that reflects your personality and needs. Our team of specialists have experienced a wide range of services and amenities offered in the world’s finest hotels and apply them to your stay at a VillaHotel.
Every facet of the five-star hotel experience is included in the VillaHotel transformation, including the following details:
BEDROOM
Think of what your bedroom is like in a luxury hotel suite. That is exactly what Villazzo offers you in a VillaHotel. Pre-programmed hospitality phones, fresh luxurious Egyptian cotton linens, pillows in multiple thicknesses, a leather-bound guest services directory, fine GODIVA good-night chocolates, and a host of Villazzo-monogrammed amenities such as bottled water, notepads, and pens enhance your VillaHotel’s bedroom.
BATHROOM
At Villazzo, we researched and experienced the most well appointed bathrooms in the finest hotels worldwide in order to create a truly hotel-like bathroom experience. Amenities such as signature embroidered towel sets, embroidered bath robes, a full set of Bulgari bath products, plush spa slippers, and an elegant porcelain bath amenity collection helps to create the most relaxing, spa-like bathroom possible.
LIVING AREA
No matter how large a hotel suite may be, it can never offer the same level of living space as one of our exclusive VillaHotels. All of our living areas are enhanced by amenities that even the most exclusive hotels rarely offer together, such as an extensive personal wine selection in temperature-controlled wine storage fridges, current weekly magazines and daily newspapers, a luxury self-service gift shop, fresh fruit baskets and flower bouquets, stocked mini bars in all refrigerators, a full liquor bar, and a cigar humidor with a fine cigar selection.
BUSINESS CENTER
Many vacationers need to stay connected to their business while on holiday. VillaHotels feature full-service home office equipment, such as a pre-configured Villazzo laptop, high-speed WiFi Internet, scissors/stapler, personalized letterheads, and a printer/copier/fax machine, all of which are set up and ready to use.
And because Villazzo maintains in-house, on-site storage areas, allowing daily laundry services of linen and towels, amenities can be refreshed and replaced every day, just as in a hotel.
VILLAHOTEL SERVICES – A CELEBRATION OF EVERYTHING THAT YOU CHERISH
Your vacation property is top-of-the line; Villazzo has transformed the property with all your personal pre-selections and amenities you could wish for; but if there wasn’t any personalized service, your vacation experience would still be incomplete.
In every VillaHotel resort destination, Villazzo has assembled a full hotel team (between 10 and 30 people in season). The staff works from a central office and travels to the VillaHotels as per their daily schedule or on request.

Our VillaHotel staff includes:
- Resort Manager
- Maids
- Butlers/Concierges
- Bellboys
- Chefs
- Servers
- Bartenders
- Child Care Specialists
- Masseuses
While the Resort Manager, full-time butler, bellboy (on arrival and departure,) daily housekeeping, and mini bar/bathroom accessories replenishment are included in your VillaHotel rate, the other services are available as often and as much/little as needed, and will be billed only when you use them – like in a hotel.
Let’s take a moment and review how it feels to stay in your Own Private Hotel:
Upon arriving at the airport, a chauffeured limousine waits for your arrival and brings you to your VillaHotel, where your local Villazzo staff welcomes you. Your personal, dedicated on-site butler will serve you complimentary champagne before you take a tour of the property with the Resort Manager explaining all the technical details. Your bellboy has already carried the suitcases into your rooms, your maid is currently unpacking/ironing your shirts. Your chef has prepared some light arrival snacks or a full five course dinner, as per your preference. Your personal bartender/sommelier has prepared some pre-dinner drinks and chosen the perfect bottle of Burgundy with your dinner.
The pampering and service doesn’t stop there. Throughout your stay, your personal butler is there every morning to serve you Cappuccino and croissants as well as your favorite newspaper. He is at your disposal 24 hours a day to answer inquiries, suggest places to visit and things to do, and schedule your itinerary. Your chauffeured limousine waits outside to drive you to any place you desire. Should anything break, call a technician by pressing the “Service” button on your Villazzo VillaHotel Phone. With another button, choose from a wide variety of “Spa at Home” services. And for the most difficult demands, you’ll even have a button to talk directly to the “Resort Manager.”
None of the staff actually sleeps at the property; so you’ll have complete privacy when you don’t want anyone around. After all, privacy is the main reason why you chose a VillaHotel over a hotel, isn’t it?
THE VILLAHOTEL ADVANTAGE:
- The finest properties in the most upscale resort destinations.
- A complete luxury hotel experience in the privacy of a villa.
