You will probably also have to pay a deposit, which is understandable when a luxury villa is in your hands, but make sure you have enough Euros to pay for this on arrival.
If you would like to make your stay extra special, consider booking a chef (for the entire stay or a single special meal), a maid (if service is not included), champagne or flowers, a hamper, cookery courses or a taxi ready for your arrival. Good booking companies of luxury villa holidays will be able to provide these for you, ensuring that you have a holiday to remember.

Think about the level of activity your holiday requires. Some luxury villas are conveniently set within town centres, whereas others offer panoramic views across the sea from a high location. Will your party require shops, sightseeing, a sea view, or do you want a small and exclusive romantic retreat? Whether or not you have access to a car with a driver is a key deciding factor when it comes to location if you are hoping to make visits during your holiday.
