Choosing the perfect villa holiday in Corfu was how CV Travel started in 1972, and the Greek Islands remain our flagship destination with a selection of beautiful villas in the very best locations in Corfu, Paxos, Lefkada and Kefalonia.

Since those early days, our portfolio has expanded to offer a range of hand-picked villas in the most sought-after locations, from converted Trulli houses in Puglia to renovated Mas in Provence, from stylish villas in Andalucia to cosy British houses. Furthermore, we have a collection of charming beachside cottages, elegant staffed mansions and exceptional villa resorts in the Caribbean.

Many of our villas are ideal for families offering spacious interiors, extensive gardens, shady terraces for dining al fresco, a private swimming pool (gated or alarmed) or are within walking distance of the sea.

All villas have maid service, and many have a cook service on request to prepare delicious local cuisine.

• Spacious & flexible accommodation
