Catered villas 4 of the best, chosen by us to help you select the ideal property for your holiday.
A holiday in a large villa can become something of an ordeal when it comes to catering for a large number of people. An increasingly popular solution is to rent a catered house where the headache of shopping, preparing and cooking, serving, clearing away and cleaning up are all taken care of.
Your deluxe holiday home is still yours and you can drift in and out of the kitchen to cook something for the children or yourself if you want but on the whole it’s all taken care of.
This selection draws on our experience of what previous clients have remarked following their stays in the houses and what they thought of the catering.
First choice is in Corsica, the PVMT14 Palombaggia is loved by clients for its fabulous location near one of the best beaches on the island and for its stunning sea views. However we have had clients stay there, who entertained some of the islands top politicians during their holiday and they actually reserved their ultimate compliments for the villa's chef.
Next is the Chateau de Cler CMAW001 in the Poitou Charente in France, where I have personal experience of the smooth, efficient catering service available which made our stay there so easy. Our clients have made similar observations.
The third choice is the B710 Rozbras in Brittany which is new to our catered villas selection for 2012. Our local director, who is French and based in Brittany assures me the catering is marvelous, taking full advantage of the fabulous fresh produce from land and sea available in the Finistere area.
The final choice is an unusual one as the pool is shared at this luxurious villa which sleeps 6 in Corsica, but what a pool, bang on the beach and what amazing views. The catering service is spot on too at the COMTC64 Cala Rossa.
As well as villas with cooks for the summer we have a similar service in the ski resorts with our luxury catered chalets.
