Multi-Destination Villa Stays in the Mediterranean

Written by Max Lane
Multi-Destination Villa Stays in the Mediterranean
One week in the heart of the Mediterranean is never enough, especially if you’re travelling from afar. Two weeks are great; three or more is bliss. Most long-haul travellers to Europe want to see at least a couple of different places on their trip, and we’re perfectly placed to offer just that. Thanks to our range of gorgeous villas spread across Italy, Greece and Corsica, we can help with longer-stay holidays in two or more of our alluring destinations.

The possibilities for multi-destination stays are numerous, and because many of our villas are available for stays of less than a week, you could spend four or five days in one villa and move on to another for the same amount of time.

Our Specialists would be absolutely delighted to talk you through some of the many options. They know all our villas first-hand and are a font of knowledge when it comes our destinations and the logistics of travelling around and between them.

To whet your appetite, here below are nine villa combinations for longer, multi-destination stays in the heart of the Mediterranean.
