Hosted Villas specializes in Luxury Villa Vacations primarily based in beautiful and authentic coastal or rural European regions such as Provence, Tuscany, Catalonia, the Loire Valley, the Amalfi Coast, the Dalmatian Coast and many more. No two of our properties are the same and each Villa – whether a grand chateau or a chic sea-side retreat - is hand-picked for its regional charm, authentic décor, proximity to historic and cultural centers and modern amenities. However, a nice place to sleep does not in and of itself make for a memorable vacation. Ensuring an exceptional, and otherwise inaccessible experience outside of the villa is as important to our clients as the villa itself. To achieve this result, our knowledgeable Villa Specialists work one-on-one with each client group to determine and satisfy their unique travel dreams and desires. Our pioneering ‘Local Host’ guide concept injects a friendly local resident directly into each stay to not only assist, advise and troubleshoot, but to provide local insight and contacts that transform a ‘villa rental’ into a truly local and authentic regional experience. This is particularly helpful in the off-the-beaten-track regions we represent, where having insider knowledge is crucial for getting around and making plans with ease. Our unique Local Host program allows guests to hit the ground running, ensuring they don’t waste time on the learning curve and can actually be a part of the local scene.
