WELCOME
Hello I am Peter Horrocks, Managing Director. Allow me to introduce you to
Villas Worldwide. After twenty five years working in key positions for
household names such as Eurocamp, Something Special, Thomson and Cendant I
finally got to realize my dream of creating a holiday company which combines
the friendly, flexible aspects of a personable small/mid sized company with the
power, systems and protection afforded by the large corporations who sadly tend
to loose that personal touch with clients and villa owners alike.
I hope you enjoy choosing a villa holiday to suit you at a price which
represents real value for money and get to feel that you can recommend us to
your family and friends. My aim is to ensure that Villas Worldwide becomes your
villa company of choice for many years to come.
LEADING UK INDEPENDENT
Villas Worldwide, founded in April 2006, is one of the UK’s leading independent direct villa specialist for
‘unpackaged` villa holiday rentals throughout Europe and beyond. Our unrivalled
choice of hand-picked four and five star villas with private pools, flexibility and value
for money are just a few of the distinguishing factors which make Villas
Worldwide a cut above the rest.
UNRIVALLED RANGE OF VILLAS
Villas Worldwide offer one of the finest portfolios of over 500 villas and
chateaux in the main regions of France. In Italy we have over 120 fabulous
villas with private pools. Our Spanish selection of 310 villas is second to
none, and through our Spanish sister company based in Javea on the Costa Blanca
we have an exclusive range of over 60 holiday villas with private pools. We manage
directly our Greek range of over 90 fabulous, carefully selected villas with pools.
An excellent range of 35 villas
from around the coast of Portugal and 20 outstanding villas on the island of
Bali in Indonesia complete our range. There are numerous other fabulous destinations on
offer including our expanded ranges in the Caribbean and South Africa and other exotic
countries including Brazil, Costa Rica, America and more.
And these are just our UK featured villas! In association with our sister
companies we can draw on up to 1500 tried and tested villas around the world.
SISTER COMPANIES
We share our villas through an integrated booking system with our established,
market leading sister companies based in France and Spain which have a
common, binding private ownership, and together have a tried and tested
worldwide portfolio of quality villas. It is this unique set up which allows
Villas Worldwide to compete effectively with even the biggest tour operators
yet retain the personal touch.
LIVE AVAILABILITY
We maintain villa availability up to date allowing you to book your holiday
online in real time. There will always be a final check with the owner just to
be 100% sure.
FINANCIAL PROTECTION
All our holidays are fully bonded for your peace of mind. Our bonding with
‘igi’ is the equivalent of ABTA and similar bonding schemes designed to protect
your holiday money.
EXPERIENCE
With over 25 years experience offering villa holidays our friendly advisors can
offer you all the assistance you need. We can offer help and advise with any
aspect of your holiday from detailed questions about your villa to the best way
to get there.
TRAVEL RELATED LINKS
We provide direct links to suppliers of low cost flights and selected car hire,
insurance, parking, overnight stop hotels. So you can complete all your holiday
arrangements from the one web site.
LOCAL AGENTS
In France we have our own team of experienced agents who find villa
accommodation throughout the country and ensure that they meet our high
standards.
PRIVATE OWNERS
Most of our villas are contracted direct with the owners so there are no
intermediaries and this allows us to offer you the best possible villa
accommodation prices.
RELIABLE SUPPLIERS
In the few areas where we don’t deal direct with owners we have preferred
agents. Due to our size and reliability we enjoy excellent service from all our
suppliers.
