10 Reasons Why Renting a Private Villa Is Better Than Booking a Hotel

There are plenty of things to consider when planning a holiday. Is there a pool? Are the beds comfortable? Will my kids have a good time? But the answer to all these questions lies in the private villa experience, where you can have all of these holiday essentials in one place in a single package. Unlike hotels, renting a private villa can give you the independence and privacy that will take your vacation from good to great, and here are 10 reasons why!

1. They are large and perfect for families

Have you ever been eagerly awaiting a family holiday only to have one group on an entirely different floor of the hotel? Taking multiple elevator rides beats the point of group holidays. With private villas, you get all the space you need for kids, cousins, aunts and uncles under one single roof. In luxury villas like SaffronStays House of Só Alegria, you not only get bedrooms right next to each other but also some beautiful common spaces to hang out with each other and bond with no intrusion from strangers. 

2. You get to live in your own exclusive space

With private villas, you don’t need to share. For the duration of your holiday, you own the pool, the expansive lawn and the lakeside gazebo. At sprawling estates like SaffronStays Foresta by the Lake, you can enjoy the feeling of having a resort-like villa all to yourself. Say goodbye to crowded restaurants and waiting lines for the pool table. No outsiders or rowdy neighbours, just you and your loved ones with plenty of leisure time and an abundance of fun-filled activities. 

3. There are no worries about hidden costs & expensive packages

Instead of opting for elaborate sightseeing packages with fixed timings and noisy group members all of which often come at additional costs, private villas allow you to explore and experience many amenities at your own pace. Pick your own time and your own adventure. Book your stay with absolute transparency in pricing and enjoy unique experiences such as a serene boat ride in the backwaters of SaffronStays Suvarna Sangam (Shambhavi) or any of its sister villas —  Sharavathi, Netravathi and Vedavathi. You can go trekking, have a picnic by the lake and also discover the underwater world by scuba diving near these riverside villas in Karnataka. 

4. You can choose what you like and accordingly pay

Renting private villas means you get to choose what you pay for. No unnecessary spending on things like car hires and airport transfers, no hidden costs revealed to you out of the blue. Our villas are in peaceful areas and easily accessible, like SaffronStays Adora Woods and Hills which is in a quiet spot in the town of Murud, only a few hour’s drive down along a scenic route from Mumbai and Pune. 

5. Villas are more accommodating, kid and pet friendly

Luxury villas like SaffronStays De La Mer or SaffronStays The Aldona House in Goa have rooms that are expansive enough for kids and pets to run around and play. At the same time, the intimate nature of the villa means you can easily keep track of them all the time, unlike chaotic reception areas and maze like passageways of hotels.

6. They are great spaces for reconnecting 

Private villas are built to create an intimate experience. The layout of seating areas, quirky decor and delicious meals at villas like SaffronStays Mango Huts (a duo of two-bedroom and three-bedroom cottages) are all meant to help you and your loved ones spend quality time together. So whether you are travelling with your closest friends or your family, our villas are where you can share special moments and make new memories.

7. There is more everything; more space, more goodies, more views

Get more for less while renting private villas! Not only are the bedrooms more spacious but the common areas like the living room and kitchen are more airy and comfortable. Like SaffronStays Aurelia‘s verandah and its dreamy view of Panchgani valley, that comes with no extra cost. From kitchen appliances to live barbecue offerings, villas serve up a range of vacation worthy comforts.

8. Meals can be tailored to your taste and palate

While you’re on holiday it’s standard to expect finger-licking food. Private villas go one step further and offer a range of food from simple continental dishes to the area’s local delicacies to exotic meals that you won’t find elsewhere. Like SaffronStays Solitude Maison where you can savour food from a menu with Indian, Middle-Eastern and Southeast Asian cuisines. To top it off, our in-home chefs are trained to personalize the meals to your taste, just the way you like it!

9. Days run by your own clock

Don’t let the clock dictate your holiday, you’re in vacation mood now! At gorgeous villas like SaffronStays One Tree Farm, you can wake up and jump straight in the pool, head out sightseeing on a whim and go to bed long after the stars are out. With a fully staffed private villa at your service, you can ensure that the cooking and cleaning is in good hands and turn your focus towards getting some much needed peace and relaxation. 

10. Your dream holiday is just within reach 

Whether you are looking for bonfire nights, farm experiences or greek-style getaways, your dream holiday is right at your fingertips! If you’re looking for a nature’s retreat at a villa featuring a terrace with some dazzling sunset views, then SaffronStays Dhyana and Ekaant are an ideal choice. With a flexible budget, renting a private villa can make all your biggest holiday wishes come true.
