Vacation VillagesIdyllic Vacation Villages For Your Perfect Holiday Getaway

At our request, the organizers of Location Villa Costa Brava have innumerated six compelling reasons why a vacation rental villa is so very much superior to a common hotel, motel or lodge.

1.Listen particularly closely if you travel in groups, such as a family of four or five, or a group of friends, or even a couple families traveling together. Do you really want to rent a “room”? Would you all sleep together in a room, or even in two rooms at home? A villa is a house. It has rooms, which is plenty more room than just a room. Got that?

2. In fairness, a villa rental is not very economical if you travel alone. It does cost more than a hotel room. But if you travel in packs, get ready to howl at the savings. Not only can a group of 4-6 people fit comfortably into even the smallest rental villa, but it will often cost less per person than forking out for a couple hotel rooms for the week.

3. But the savings don’t end there. Have you ever calculated the cost of eating at restaurants. There is usually at least one meal for four that weighs in around $100 when tip and tax is added in. Plus breakfast. Plus lunch. Plus snacks. (Yeah, you get hungry between meals, too.) Well, it all adds up, doesn’t it? Or a you can spend more reasonable $50 a day on groceries made to your own taste, where you know they are made nutritious, where you know you won’t get food poisoning and where you can relax in privacy.

4. Did somebody mention privacy? Yes, there is much more privacy in a villa rental than in a tiny hotel room squished between two other rooms, where people knock on the door and sing in the hall, where the maid comes in and you just don’t know where to hide your purse or other valuables. A vacation villa is as private as your house.

5. The flip side of privacy is freedom. There is nobody blaring music until 3:00 am…unless you want there to be. Go ahead, you won’t be disturbing anybody. Just make sure the windows are all shut and play the TV, the stereo, the video games. Turn up the volume. Sing at the top of your voice. Cheer for your team, or shout “You bum” if it makes you feel better.

6. Yes, I did say stereo and I did say TV and I did say video games. I might also mention that most villa rentals come with a private swimming pool. Feel like going skinny dipping? Who’s going to stop you? No hotel room comes with as many amenities as the typical vacation rental. That fight over who gets to use the hotel room bathroom last summer? The one that left you with a permanent limp? Let bygones be bygones – this year you can just use the other bathroom in your much-better-equipped vacation villa.

Pocket the savings…or re-invest them at another week of relaxation in your Costa Brava Villa getaway. Ah, the pure luxury of a villa rental makes a hotel look downright…barbaric.
