Villa

It has been a dream for many to live even for a short period of time in a villa. The ultimate in opulent luxury, a villa has the potential to make the most common person feel like royalty. A villa is basically a large bungalow-like house having one or two stories surrounded by a lush garden. The villa may be single structure or may include barns and outhouses for guests and servants. A greenhouse in which plants and trees can be grown may also be present.

The main house of the villa usually has multiple stories, with the living room, the playroom and kitchen being located on the ground floor and the bedrooms, dens and study being on the upper floors. An open terrace rendered with lounge chairs, picnic tables and umbrellas allows the residents to relax in the open air. Swimming enthusiasts could dive into the pool that some villas possess.

Leaving no stone unturned in catering to the tastes of all kinds of people, most villas also have a full fledged gym on the premise. While some villas are available for sale for those with the required amount of disposable income, others can opt for rental accommodations for a particular period of time. Five-star hotels across the world refer to villas as stand alone cottages or suites on the hotel premises that can be booked by guests for holidays.
