Questions
Villa rentals: what people ask
How much does a luxury villa cost per person?
For the six here, the lowest published week split across a full house runs from €604 each at Villa Safir on Brač (12 people) to about $1,295 each at Portobello in Barbados (10 people). Taxes, a chef and extras are usually on top.
Is a villa booking protected if the company goes bust?
Not by ATOL if you book the villa on its own: the Civil Aviation Authority says accommodation-only bookings are not ATOL protected, because they do not include a flight. Check whether the agency is an ABTA member, and pay by credit card.
How do I avoid a villa rental scam?
Book through an established agency, check it is an ATOL holder or ABTA member, pay by credit card rather than bank transfer, and take out travel insurance when you book. Action Fraud had 6,640 holiday fraud reports in 2023, with £12.3 million lost.
Are staff included in a luxury villa?
It depends on the villa. Housekeeping is usually included; a private chef usually is not. Of the six here, Villa Lega in Bali includes a chef and a villa manager, and Torre Amalfi includes a butler and a chef for lunch and dinner six days a week.
What does Saturday to Saturday mean?
Many villas only let in whole weeks that start and end on a Saturday, so you must arrive and leave on that day. Torre Amalfi and Villa Era both work this way, with a seven-night minimum.
