Understand Your Client’s Preferences: Invest the time it takes to completely comprehend your client’s unique needs and overall vacation goals. Find out what type of location, amenities and experiences they’re looking for, suss out their travel style and inquire about their specific interests. Also, consider any special requirements or requests they may have. For example, groups that include young children might need a villa with connecting rooms or a shallow-entry swimming pool; while large groups might prefer accommodations with some separation to provide extra privacy, like separate wings or stand-alone cottages.
Consider Budget and Value: Find out about your client’s budget range to narrow down the field of properties you’re considering, and help you to single out a villa that provides the best value for their money. Do your best to balance the degree of luxury they’ve requested with their cost constraints so that the selected villa supplies an exceptional experience within the specified price range.
Partner with a Reputable Luxury Villa Rental Company: Work with a trustworthy luxury private villa rental provider with an extensive portfolio of fully-vetted, hand-selected properties in a wide range of desirable destinations. Check to make sure the company can deliver dependable customer support, offers comprehensive villa profiles and provides a transparent booking process.
Research Destinations: In selecting an appropriate destination, be sure to consider such factors as proximity to area attractions, overall safety and accessibility, and availability of local services. Villas of Distinctions’ well-versed Villa Specialists can help you narrow down your list of potential places to a distinctive destination that will best meet your client’s needs and expectations.
Explore Luxury Services: A luxury villa vacation experience is even further elevated when accompanied by excellent and highly personalized service. Every Villas of Distinction reservation includes a personal concierge, but some guests may prefer a villa rental that’s fully staffed, complete with a private chef and more. Some villas come standard with a full staff, but extra staff can be incorporated at many other properties for an additional cost.
Realize Their Vacation Dreams: Villas of Distinction can help make your clients’ ultimate vacation dreams a reality by booking custom-tailored, one-of-a-kind experiences for them. Some examples of highly sought-after experiences include:
Private wine tours, catamaran cruises, truffle-hunting experiences, and in-villa cooking classes with a private chef in Italy.
