Villa news, events and resort information

The articles in our news blog below contain items of interest connected to the countries in which we offer our villa holidays. Our aim is to offer a resource for our clients and website users which can be used when planning a holiday or to gain insightful knowledge about a particular country, region or town and information on things to do or how to get there. Many of the villa news articles draw on our own first hand experience which we hope will help you get the best out of your holiday.

In addition we also feature occasional items which relate to celebrities who for whatever reason are on holiday or doing something of interest connected to an area where we offer our holidays. Many of us are interested in celebrity activity and these particular articles give some insight into why these people visit such areas.

We have listed our news blog articles in date order according to the country or region. If you come across useful travel information or celebrity activity which you feel we should feature in our news blog section then please let us know and we will do our best to include it.


There is now abundant snow in all of the major French ski areas including the northern Alps, the southern Alps and the Pyrenees, forming a base of snow which sets up the coming winter ski season very well indeed. Its great news for skiers. After our most successful winter season last year we have continued to gradually refine and grow our range of ski properties to suit the needs of our skiing clients. Which means we have trimmed out the lower range apartments in the Pyrenées and substantially increased the chalet range in the most popular mid...

The best villas for 2019 which have been added to the Villas Worldwide / Villas du Monde range in the last two months have been selected here for you, they are the new "creme de la creme". There have been some very good additions to the range in Greece this year and it is the Greek islands where we have been steadily growing the choice with superb new additions on the islands of Paros in the Cyclades, Spetses near Porto Heli and Paxos near Corfu as well as Crete where we already have over forty villas. Our top choice new addition villa is the...

As the first big snowfalls are scheduled to arrive in the French Alps next week it is time for us to update you on what’s new in the Villas Worldwide / Villas du Monde self-catered ski property portfolio. It is a pretty cool range now. The number of private self-catered chalets has been increased to 135 and the price span has been brought down as we have sought to improve value for money and affordability. The apartment selection has been increased to 80 and we have aimed it more at suiting individual families and small groups of friends. The...

The Villas du Monde website has been given a refreshing new look to commemorate thirty years that the brand has been in existence. The design reflects the confidence of the market-leading independent family-owned company which continues to expand steadily each year whilst offering real personal service. Have a look and see what you think of the latest French touch. www.villasdumonde.com Villas du Monde has a predominantly French clientele though since launching as Villas Worldwide in the United Kingdom over ten years ago it now has a large number of...

There have been a number of significant advances in the Villas Worldwide / Villas du Monde product range in the last two months driven by a desire to offer interesting new areas and strong demand from VWW/VDM clients all over Europe. The summer of 2018 looks as though it is going to be our busiest for some time with both Portugal and Spain proving to be extremely popular as is our longstanding French range. France has been the biggest growth area with significant additions to the range in Provence especially in the Ardeche close to Vallon Pont d'Arc...

This year we have been particularly busy refreshing and increasing the range of ski chalets and as with the summer properties, we have noticed more than ever the move towards contemporary interiors. In many cases, all that remains of the original chalet is the exterior as the whole of the inside has been rebuilt from new with the latest building materials and insulation and the rooms arranged with plenty of space, fitted furnishings and ultra-modern sanitary and kitchenware. Bedrooms too benefit from the latest comfortable bedding, big beds, yes the...

Once again Villas Worldwide has steadily grown the range of holiday villas for the coming summer. All year round houses are gradually added but in the fall we stepped up our efforts and visits were organised to Menorca and Greece to visit tens of properties to make sure they measure up to our high standards. The all new range of thirteen villas with pools in Menorca is one we are very pleased to announce as it increases further the superb choice of Spanish holiday properties for our clients to choose from. With a highly rated permanent office in Javea...

We are always on the lookout for properties with the latest thing or "tendances" as the French say and today we added a fabulous chalet in Val d'Isère which has a couple of very trendy features to our range of around 200 ski chalets and apartments in France. The first is a glass bubble sauna which allows you to enjoy fabulous views of the mountains whilst you are sweating in the dry heat after a day skiing on some of the finest slopes in the French Alps. That in itself was pretty smart we thought. The second is a Nordic bath which is meant to...

The children are back to school and the daily routine has returned to normal, the leaves on the trees are starting to turn and our thoughts naturally turn towards winter. In northern Europe, it can be long and miserable yet there are bright moments, Christmas, New Year and if you are lucky a holiday skiing. France is the number one European ski destination and it is easy to understand why. Not only is the access very good by sea, tunnel and air it also has two mountain ranges with very good skiing, the smaller and cheaper Pyrenees and the vast high...

There are some who are simply not able to make a decision on a holiday until well into the summer holiday period and we appreciate that it can be a tricky business getting something suitable to book. Those faced with making arrangements are often those who are working extra hard on their own businesses, waiting for the last moment to see if they can make time available away from work for a well-earned break. It is a fact that often the best choice properties and dates have already been taken but part of the advantage of being a company which is...

As the peak summer months of 2017 rapidly approach here we take a look at which destinations have proved most popular with Villas Worldwide / Villas du Monde clients this year. For those of you familiar with the company you will know that it is a French agency which has been trading for over 20 years with French, Spanish and English personnel to assist with reservations and owners requirements. The clients are international too, though the majority are French with the bulk of the rest being from the UK. There are quite a few Scandinavian customers...

Following the recent addition of the villa MON2001 Grand villa avec piscine intérieure et exterieure which is near Montélimar to the Villas Worldwide / Villas du Monde range in Provence the number of extra big properties in the whole portfolio rose to 170. The majority are in France (though Spain, Portugal and Italy have some too) as it is a country with a unique heritage which includes many chateaus which due to the cost of maintaining them have often been converted for holiday use. There are also many big country properties which...

Having added a number of exceptional recent build villas in the Cote d'Azur region to the range of villas in France recently it has been interesting to see that they have attracted clients who are prepared to pay good money for the quality of holiday living they offer and that has encouraged Villas Worldwide / Villas du Monde to expand the category further. I have been visiting and inspecting villas since the 80's and I must admit back then it was hard to get enthusiastic about the modern style villas at the time. Perhaps it was because the prevailing...
