The villa was perfect, and the staff could not have been more generous.
From pickup to the very end, nothing was overlooked. B&R made my 80th birthday more than special for me, my family and my dearest friends.

Villas & Exclusive Stays FAQs
For Europe and the Americas, start planning at least 12 to 18 months ahead. For Asia, Oceania and Africa, allow 12 to 24 months. Large groups and peak-season travel need more lead time, since the best villas book early.
No. B&R plans villa stays for families of any size and any number of generations. A bigger group also opens up experiences of its own, like a private concert on the terrace or a soccer match with the village team.
Most villas are booked by the week, though there are some exceptions. Your Experience Designer can tell you what’s possible for the villa and dates you have in mind.
Housekeeping is always included, and we can arrange a private chef for as many meals as you like, from a long sit-down dinner to a backyard barbecue, a cooking class or pizza night. Some villas let you cook for yourselves too, so you can mix it up. Most families leave the grocery runs to us.
Plenty. Many villas come with a pool, tennis or pickleball courts and a bocce lawn, which keep teens busy for hours. Younger kids can stay back with a babysitter we arrange while the adults head out for a ride.
Tell us early, since it shapes which villas we recommend. Ground-floor bedrooms, step-free access to the pool and terrace, and an easy drive into town can make all the difference. Because the villa is your home base, everyone can choose their own pace: join the day’s outing or stay back by the pool.
- Fill in the online planning form with your dates, group size, budget, occasion and who’s travelling. If you have a destination in mind, start there. If you’re open to a few, list them in order of preference.
- Our Traveller Experience Team talks through what matters most to you, from the number of bedrooms to the setting you picture.
- You’re matched with an Experience Designer, who shortlists villas for your group. Once your villa is secured, they build the days around it.
First. Where you stay shapes everything else, from the routes you’ll ride to the towns you’ll explore, so we secure your villa before designing the rest of your trip.
