Luxury villas?

[franch]

Any recommendations? Somewhere you've actually stayed, or at least someone you know has - or a hire company you've used.

yeah i know franch... (re asking/not affording) but the joke is, i may now be able to afford that for a special occasion. but am irritated by having to ask in haughty 'piss off you pauper' sort of way, so am put off asking ! which, i suspect, would make them happy

franch - we stayed in a villa near Granada, now not with Scott Dunn, as the owner sold it on. The chef and nanny meant the holiday was really relaxing, you were met at the airport by two reps, complete with cold water bottles, they took our luggage in their car, they had got the hire car for us already, they would have let us follow them to the villa but we wanted to stop on the way for lunch. Excellent service, you pay for it, but it was good value.

[considers starting yet another impossible to find sahm co specialising in truly child/family friendly luxury villas ]

ooh lilorphan, that sounds v good.

did your house have restaurants/shop withing walking distance? proper walking distance, not hiking halfway up a mountain distance...

We are staying here this summer courtesy of a recommendation of this company on mumsnet

hoorah can't wait

there will be 16 of us though

have also used private properties abroad a couple of times, they are very nice here

pph second link same as first

all ok in peahead towers?

BoT, no it was a farmhouse in the middle of fields. But didn't set foot in a shop as the villa was catered.
PPH - gorgeous house, but PMSL at "The Kitchen is for use only by the Staff "

the company we used organised people to come and cook/prepare food

and told us about local restaurants with a take-away service

am thinking of roughing it here next year

decor a little understated for my tastes

oh poo here is link

all ok except croup olast night

no point in going here unless you have half a kilo of cocaine and many playboy/girl friends

my pool area is completely fenced off and has fantastic locked cover - no worries with little ones!!
