Cyber Week is almost here, and there’s never been a better time to plan your next luxury villa escape. With hundreds of handpicked properties across the globe, our Villa Specialists know exactly which homes deliver the perfect blend of comfort, style, and unforgettable experiences. We asked our team to share their personal favorites and what makes each one truly stand out.
Whether you’re dreaming of sun-drenched beaches, a chic city retreat, or private island seclusion, these expert recommendations are your guide to finding the perfect villa to match your travel style.
To start, Corey Lassman, Director of National Accounts, shares a few of his top choices that reflect the variety and versatility of our portfolio. Corey says, “Of course, there are so many amazing villas that it is truly hard to pick just one or two. Villas are personal and each one has its own reason why it’s the perfect fit for the specific group traveling. With that said, here are two of my favorites:
Nobilpoggio – Tuscany - Villa Nobilpoggio is one of my all-time favorites, especially for multi-generational families. Situated in the rolling Tuscan hills, this picture-perfect estate offers ample space to gather for shared meals, explore the grounds, or simply enjoy quiet moments surrounded by vineyard views. Its location is ideal—just 10 minutes from the charming town of Greve in Chianti.
One of the true highlights is the truffle hunting, which can be done mere steps from your front door. Instead of traveling to meet a guide, they come to you! Fresh wine, fresh olive oil, sweeping countryside views — Nobilpoggio embodies everything you dream of in a Tuscan escape.
Villa Solara – Punta Cana - I absolutely love Villa Solara for so many reasons, starting with its premier location inside the gated community of Punta Cana Resort & Club—just a short drive from the airport, making the journey from runway to relaxation incredibly quick & easy.
What truly sets this villa apart is the exceptional staff. From your private chef and sous chef to butlers and housekeepers, every detail feels personal and thoughtfully tailored to your group. This, in my opinion, is the heart of the villa experience – personal, tailored, & curated. Enjoy stunning lakefront sunsets, a private gym with sauna and cold plunge, and some of the best golf in the Dominican Republic just minutes away. At Villa Solara, everything you could want is right at your fingertips.”

Next, Nicole, one of our Guest Arrival Concierges, highlights a villa that captures the essence of island luxury and natural beauty. Nicole says, “If you’re looking for a once-in-a-lifetime experience, then Haena Beach House on Kauai delivers it with a bow! This villa has always been a true favorite of mine on Kauai, and its luxe private, beachfront location makes it a real treasure. Picture yourself waking up to the Hawaiian sunrise with a cup of Kona coffee and then enjoying the golden sand beach and turquoise waters by day and in the evening…watching dolphins and whales frolic as your view turns into a brilliant sunset. This house has it all! Modern appliances and furnishings with a view from every room. Haena Beach House is far enough away to recharge your battery, while still close enough to historical landmarks, hiking, and Kauai’s famous attractions. This 5-bedroom house offers private chef services, on-site massage, and all the bells and whistles, if you want them.“
Our marketing team’s Jessica takes us from island bliss to the heart of Paris with a villa that’s steeped in history and charm. “I am obsessed with Pompidou in Paris. This villa is a history nerd's dream! It was originally a 19th-century printing house built by Gustav Eiffel, and it even has the same iron beams that make up the Eiffel Tower! The printing house was also secretly used by the Peoples' Resistance to print their pamphlets. To top it all off, in the basement, you can see with your own eyes the original perimeter wall of the city of "Lutetia", which was the founding city of Paris, built by the Roman settlers in the 1st century! Not to mention it was voted by Marie Claire Magazine as one of the top ten best rental apartments in Europe and has been featured on HGTV,” says Jessica.
Meanwhile, one of our Villa Specialists, Barbara, shares a Caribbean favorite that combines seclusion, service, and a personal touch that guests never forget. “Happy Hour on Discovery Bay in Jamaica, because it is far enough from the touristy Montego Bay area, but still within driving distance. It has its own private cove, and the chef is amazing, but my favorite memory is one of the gardeners handing me some big seashells after he saw me searching for some. The staff really went the extra mile!”

Continuing with the theme of personalized service and oceanfront beauty, another Villa Specialist highlights a Riviera Maya retreat that feels like paradise found. “Zacil Na in the Riviera Maya stands out to me as the ideal blend of beachfront luxury and authentic tropical escape. You wake up to swaying palms and turquoise water, then spend your day on the soft sand or snorkeling off your own dock. Inside, every detail is geared toward relaxation, like the open-plan living spaces and the spa-style bathrooms. To top it off, the staff treats you like family, so you’re truly slipping into vacation mode the moment you arrive.”
Finally, Desiree from the marketing team closes our list with a mountain retreat that’s perfect for winter adventurers and family gatherings alike. “Discover the perfect mountain getaway at this villa, which offers convenient ski-in/ski-out access and is just a short distance from downtown Steamboat Springs. Over the Edge is ideal for multi-generational family vacations, providing ample space for everyone. Whether you prefer hitting the slopes or unwinding in the hot tub while watching skiers glide by, this villa has it all. You can arrive to a fully stocked kitchen, making it feel like a true home away from home. Enjoy the beautiful interiors and breathtaking mountain views. Plus, skiers will appreciate the complimentary shuttle service for easy access to the slopes,” says Desiree.
From the sun-soaked shores of the Caribbean to the romantic streets of Paris and the peaks of Colorado, each of these villas represents the best of what a Villas of Distinction vacation has to offer: personalized service, unmatched comfort, and unforgettable experiences in every corner of the world.
