Top Ten Reasons To Pick A Greek Villa Rental

By admin • January 26th, 2010

True story—

“We are planning a family trip for just a few days. That is my family, my brother’s family, and my other brother’s family. Our mother will be joining us, too. That makes four households, seven adults and six children all under three years old. Praise to my brave (foolish?) wife who has somehow volunteered to coordinate the arrangements.

Even reserving months in advance, we were unable to get four rooms adjoining at the hotel, all with the right view and on the right level. If we were going for longer, we would probably rent a house as we have done before. There are vacation rentals in almost every corner of the world, but they are particularly common in high-tourist areas like Greece and the Mediterranean countries.”

Here is my top ten list of why a family should pick a Villa rental (and specifically a villa rental home):

1. No hard work to find ideal, adjoining rooms.

Lots of space & private pool

2. Everybody gets privacy, without having to worry about where the kids are.
3. You don’t have to share the common area with strangers, but you can still lounge around together.
4. More than one bathroom. Need I say more?
5. Lots and lots and lots of more room. This is usually the main selling feature.
6. Private pool, in most cases.
7. Almost always cost less than hotels.
8. Store cold drinks, ice creams, fresh fruit or any other snacks you fancy, which is a huge cost saver.
9. Barbecue any time you want. You can still eat out, but you don’t HAVE to.
10. You don’t have to take home several weeks’ supply of dirty laundry.
