I have stayed in a property as small & unique as a bus and as lavish as a private island. Today, I am gonna help you, how to decide which is a perfect accommodation for you while traveling. Lately I have realised how much I love rental villas over hotels. Depending on where, for how many days and with how many people are you traveling you can take a decision.
Well, if you want to have total privacy renting an entire villa is always a good option. It is also ideal when you are traveling with family or large group of friends as you get to spend time together rather than being locked up in hotel rooms. It is convenient and fun to have all amenities available exclusively for you like gym, pool, spa etc. It also provides you with the opportunity of personalised services from chef, butler, housekeepers.
Keeping all this in mind, we recently rented a villa in Mykonos and it was the best decision ever. We booked this villa via Lamda Destinations. They are pioneer in property management as well as event management and offer their guests wide array of luxury properties to choose from. They manage many properties in Greece. We had the pleasure of staying in Gemm Villa.
