The LuxeCollection

Luxury villas in Greece and Cyprus

Luxury in a villa is specific: the architecture, the position, the pool you actually swim in, the services that take the running of the week off your hands.

The Luxe Collection gathers the design- and service-led end of the Bnbstay portfolio across Greece and Cyprus, so a shortlist can start from standard rather than from a map.

What Luxe means here: a collection for shortlisting at the higher end, not a certificate. Each villa’s own page records the facts that justify its place: the setting, the design, the pool and outdoor space, and the services available. Judge each villa by its page, and where a specific standard matters to your booking, such as daily housekeeping, a chef or a particular finish, ask us to confirm it with the property.

Design-led calm: the register of luxury that is about the villa itself

Choose the kind of luxury that fits your week

Luxury is not one thing, and the most expensive villa is not automatically the right one. Decide which of these the week is really about.

Some villas are the destination: commissioned architecture, interiors with a point of view, a pool composed into the building rather than added beside it. Choose these when the villa itself is the memory you are booking, and let the island follow.

What to check before booking a luxury villa

At the high end the details are the product. The useful questions are specific.

  • Which services are included, and which are arranged on request: housekeeping frequency, chef, transfers?
  • Is the pool heated, and in which months?
  • Is the villa genuinely private, or part of a complex with shared grounds?
  • Do bedrooms and bathrooms match your party: suites, ground-floor rooms, equal-quality rooms for adults sharing?
  • How far is dinner when you do not want to cook: walkable, a short drive, or a chef in the villa?
  • What does the villa’s own page record about design, finish and outdoor space? The photographs are the evidence.
The details that decide whether a villa earns the word luxury

Where to stay

Every island carries a different register of luxury: caldera architecture on one, estate seclusion on another, beach-club energy on a third. Start with the country guides and choose the register first.

“I cannot speak highly enough of the Bnbstay team really. I told them I needed a villa in Santorini Oia and they were able to find us the perfect holiday, they sorted out transfers, private chefs, car hire, pre stocking. Thanks again!”

Questions about the Luxe Collection

Clear answers to the questions that most often change the shortlist. Villa-specific facts remain on each property page.

What is the Bnbstay Luxe Collection?

The design- and service-led end of the Bnbstay portfolio in Greece and Cyprus: a collection for shortlisting at the higher end. Each villa’s own page records the setting, design and services that earn its place, and we confirm specifics with the property on request.

How are villas included in the Luxe Collection?

Villas are included for their recorded setting, design and service standard rather than by a single fixed test. The honest evidence is always the individual villa page; where a particular standard is essential to your booking, ask us to confirm it before you commit.

Do luxury villas come with staff or a chef?

Some include services; many more can arrange them. Housekeeping schedules, chefs, transfers and provisioning vary villa by villa and are often arranged through our concierge, so tell us what the week should feel like when you enquire.

Which islands are best for a luxury villa holiday?

Different registers rather than a ranking: Mykonos and Santorini lead for design stays and famous settings, Crete and the Ionian for estate privacy and space, Cyprus for resort-grade villas and the longest season. The destination guides compare them honestly.

Do Luxe Collection villas cost more?

Villas price individually by property and dates rather than by collection, so there is no fixed premium for appearing here. The live results for your dates are the honest answer.

Can you help me choose between two luxury villas?

Yes. That comparison is most of what our villa specialists do. Share the shortlist, the party and what the week needs to deliver, and we will set the two villas’ recorded facts side by side and confirm anything uncertain with the properties.
