Villa Book 2017

Introduction

We’ve made it our mission to locate
and explore the most wonderful villas
in the world.

Ideal for families, multigenerational travel, couples traveling together, or anyone interested in privacy
and flexibility, villa holidays are rapidly growing for a number of reasons. When looking for a true
home away from home experience, many have found that a villa stay provides greater authenticity.
When you’re in Spain, you want to feel like a Spaniard. You want to experience the city or island like
a local, and staying in a villa enables you to better adopt the culture and way of life. The popularity
of villa rentals is also attributed to their perceived value, stemming from a combination of value for
money and the amenities on offer.

The 50 Most Exclusive Villas in the World is simply an introduction to some of the very best villas –
many affiliated with top hotels or resorts and some superb standalone choices. Villas affiliated with
top hotels or resorts are appealing because you have access to the services of a full hotel staff and
the use of all facilities, while still enjoying the exclusivity and privacy afforded by your villa. Standalone

villas offer the utmost privacy for those keen to explore life as
locals.

No matter the type of villa, getting help from an expert is essential
to knowing the reliability and details of the property. Whether
you’re thinking about taking your first villa holiday or looking for
the perfect villa in a fun, new destination, FROSCH consultants
will steer you to select properties that we have vetted through a
combination of personal experience and our trusted villa partners.
The variety of villa product featured in our new villa program
addresses a wide range of interests, ages, and budgets. What
they all have in common is that they reside in fabulous destinations
where we can help you plan exclusive experiences to ensure the
most memorable villa holidays.
