You'll Never Go Back To A Hotel
As Europe opens up after a long and difficult year, it’s best to take Europe the easy way – slow and on its own terms. And that is the approach Distinguished Residences offers with its tempting selection of high-design villas with all the comforts of home. Except that you are not at home. You are in a dream-worthy location, mesmerized by the specter of Mont Blanc, meditating on the calm waters of Lake Geneva, savoring champagne under the pines with friends at your manor overlooking the hills of Umbria, watching yachts drift by on the Med from your villa terrace in Corfu.
“There are intimate and ‘done-for-you elements in private villas and retreats that are just not possible if you book a resort or even try home-sharing options. And very often, booking a private villa through DistinguishedResidences.com will be more cost-effective while also offering that certain peace of mind you need,” said Sean Emmerton, CEO of Distinguished Residences.
The villas are well vetted and come with a host of benefits, he adds. These include daily maid service, often a dedicated butler, a dedicated chef, concierge services, built-in or special access to pools, gyms, spas, and most properties come in the form of an expansive, multi-bedroom, multi-level spread with at least one private pool and amazing views.
Contact CEO Sean Emmerton at sean@distinguishedresidences.com or visit Distinguished Residences.
