Our love affair with villa holidays first began in 2003 when Co-Founders Oliver and Ravi spent a week at a crumbling chateau in the Dordogne with a group of their closest friends. As fate would have it, that holiday was the start of something special. It was the beginning of Oliver’s Travels.

Our hand-picked villas, chateaux and holiday homes are located across the top holiday destinations – with new regions launching every year. You can learn more about how we hand-pick our properties.

With a villa holiday, you’ll be free from the constraints of staying in a hotel; there will be no more staring at the same four walls or waking up at the crack of dawn to bag a sun lounger. A self-catering villa holiday opens up a whole realm of new possibilities; enjoying your own private pool, modern kitchens that were made to be used and enjoyed (if not by you, by our incredible chefs!); terraces with panoramic views and gardens where the kids can be kids without the disapproving looks. Exclusivity, privacy and space unlike any other accommodation – it’s the holiday dream come true. And also ideal for large groups!
