A luxury villa – a palace at a price almost anyone can afford
When I marvel at the breathtakingly sumptuous and lavish homes of the rich and famous, I no longer feel pangs of jealousy as I know that I can experience something similar any time I want to.
How do I do this?
I rent a luxury villa in the sun for a week or two and lavish myself with feelings of pure, self indulgence (you can also rent them in the winter and indulge just as fully in some italy skiing). For me, the high life begins the moment I leave my old life behind and am picked up from the airport by my courtesy car which takes me to my ‘new life’.
Now, whenever I hear the word ‘luxury’, I know that this word is not reserved for just millionaires or celebrities. If you want to experience a different type of holiday experience, a luxury holiday villa provides an ambience which lavishes you from head to toe in unadulterated bliss.
Feel yourself become immersed in the spacious and stylish rooms which are meticulously cleaned and maintained. In many cases, you can arrange for a maid to clean the villa daily–you do not need to lift a finger! Just soak in the ambience with a glass or two of champagne as you step into an inviting jacuzzi or laze in the elaborately oversized pool.
I always choose a villa which is set in a beauty spot so as I can lose myself in nature and meander through the sweeping, velvet green winding tracks. Blow away the cobwebs of your former life and stimulate the mind and senses with a cycle ride or view the landscape from a different perspective as you trek through unspoilt countryside on horseback. Let Mother Nature gently peel away the layers of stress as you escape from your normal every day routine for a while. Hand over the reins and let other people do the thinking for you. Whilst staying in a luxury villa in Bali, I even had my own butler!
Villas which are centrally located provide the retail therapy that accompanies such a lifestyle. After a full days shopping, I look forward to returning to my air conditioned haven where I can cool off and open up another bottle of the ‘good stuff’.
A luxury villa holiday provides a private millionaire lifestyle at a price which will make most wallets smile. In some cases, a luxury villa can work out cheaper than a two week stay at a five star hotel.
