MONTREAL, CANADA—Not everyone is content with just beaches and palm trees on holiday. And despite the popular image of isolated, hillside rentals in the countryside, those who prefer some elements of vibrant city life can in fact still find villas to suit their urbanite personality.
Villa rentals, www.luxuryretreats.com, near cities like Florence, Acapulco, Paris and Miami are a great way to see those towns without shoehorning your family into a matchbox size hotel room.
"In urban areas like Paris, people tend to assume that hotels are the only way to go, but that's just not true," said Ben Tuff, Luxury Retreats' Director of Marketing. "We've got villas and spacious apartments in all of these great regions that offer a much more private, real-life way to see a city."
Urban rentals peel away the tourist veneer, letting guests live like a local for a while by visiting markets and having a very private place to return to at the end of the day, not a crowded hotel lobby.
"It's amazing how easily you slip into the rhythm of the place you're visiting at a villa rental," said Tuff. "You don't feel forced to be out all day doing all the tourist trap stuff, only the things you really want to."
Luxury Retreats offers several "urban" villa rentals in different regions, though most balance perfectly on the cusp between the city-centre and the outskirts or are within reach of the centre in a quick drive. Twenty villas ring the Florence area, some of which feel perfectly secluded in the Tuscan hillside despite being 5-10 minutes from the city.
Miami and Acapulco are two classic "beach" destinations that are also metropolitan areas. Villa rentals are perfectly suited for these locations, too, tucked into quiet neighborhoods or placid beachfronts just minutes from the action. Acapulco's famous Las Brisas community, where many of Luxury Retreats' villas are located, is one such residential area.
If you're looking for action, destinations like these assure there will never be a dull moment.
