FAQ’s

Compared to renting a single hotel room, yes. But when you compare the per person/per day cost of renting a villa vs booking multiple rooms at a luxury resort or hotel, you’ll often find that a villa offers excellent value. Here’s a recent family example:

On the island of Paros, hotels can run $650+ a night for a 4 to 5-star property. Multiply that by the six rooms we needed for the week, and that’s $2,300 per person. Instead, we rented a six-bedroom luxury villa for nearly half the cost ($1,350 per person) which included an ocean view, infinity pool, gym, outdoor theater, gourmet kitchen, fire pit, butler, housekeeper, and private chef.

Factor food costs into the equation and the savings escalate. Staying in a villa costs anywhere from $65 to $75 per person per day for food versus $65 to $75 per person just for breakfast in a resort. So you can get three meals a day for the price of breakfast. If you’re feeding a big group, the savings can add up.

You can, but…

  • Anyone can list their property on an online website. There are no standards.
  • No one is inspecting the property.
  • No one is verifying the accuracy of the listing.
  • You never know what awaits you when you walk in the door. (When friends or family members are relying on you, you’ll feel better knowing all our properties are fully vetted, with no unwelcome surprises.)
  • It can be difficult contacting the host or owner if something goes wrong or isn’t working.
  • You pay booking fees.
  • In addition, there’s no concierge to arrange your special event and put together unique experiences customized to your group’s interests.

With TVG, your concierge is at your service to help you create special moments and (very important) to make sure everything is to your satisfaction. All this, with no booking fees.

Absolutely, concierge support is standard with every booking. Your attentive and caring concierge speaks English and is your local expert – there to help you navigate your travels with ease and provide deeper, richer experiences.

Need a kid-friendly restaurant that grandmother will love too? They’ll guide you to those special spots that locals usually keep to themselves – the kind of places where they take their own friends when they visit. Want help with transportation or translation? Looking for authentic local experiences? They handle it all. You’ll discover hidden gems that guidebooks miss, avoid overpriced tourist traps, and feel more connected to your destination – experiencing it like a welcomed guest, not an annoying tourist.

We’ve designed successful trips for families with toddlers to 90-year-old great-grandparents. Each villa is carefully chosen to accommodate your specific group’s mobility needs and comfort requirements.

Picture this: While grandparents enjoy a private wine tasting on the villa terrace, parents might be taking a cooking class, and kids could be learning traditional crafts with a local artisan. We create flexible daily plans where family members can choose their perfect mix of together time and individual adventures.

Yes. The minimum night stay will vary depending on the time of year you’re booking, the destination, and the owner. During low season, you can expect a 3–5-night minimum stay, 5-7 nights during high season, and 10-14 nights for peak holiday season.

Celebration Vacations vary widely based on destination, villa, season, and group size. Villa rates typically range from $1,000 to $100,000 per night, with options spanning beachfront villas, mountain retreats, private estates, luxury ski chalets, historic manor houses – even entire islands.

To begin planning, we charge a $997 discovery and planning fee.

This fee covers:

  • Personal consultation and guidance throughout the planning process
  • Back-and-forth iteration to identify the right property for your group & celebration
  • Coordination with trusted local teams on the ground
  • Planning of experiences, transfers, reservations, and logistics
  • A day-by-day draft itinerary you can review, adjust, and share with your group

Once planning is underway, villa rental costs and any optional services (such as event design or special experiences) are quoted separately and paid directly.

How to get started:

  1. Complete the short request form
  2. Schedule your consultation
  3. Begin the discovery and planning process
  4. Review recommendations and itinerary draft

Availability note:

To ensure each celebration receives focused attention, we work with a limited number of new clients each month. Many top villas book 9–18 months in advance, especially for peak seasons, so starting early provides the best selection.

Why is there a planning fee?

Celebration trips require more time, coordination, and on-the-ground resources than typical travel planning. The $997 planning fee covers dedicated guidance, careful villa matching, and coordination with trusted local teams—so you’re never handling details alone, and support is in place if anything needs attention.

It also allows time to shape custom-tailored experiences that feel thoughtful and meaningful rather than mass-produced. The result is a celebration designed around your people and priorities—planned with care, and unlike anyone else’s.
