Why a villa and not a hotel?
Having your own villa gives you so much more freedom, space and privacy, and will enable you to relax with all the comforts of home around you, and of course it makes good financial sense too.
A villa costs about the same as 2 standard hotel rooms, but instead of 2 rooms and impersonal service you'll get 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, a lounge &  great room, fully equipped Kitchen, garage and of course all the home comforts, TV's, DVD, Hi-fi, Washing machine etc... and with no-one living above or below you.
Having your own fridge means that you can enjoy a cold drink whenever you want, you can have a cup of tea or coffee made with real milk, your children can enjoy their breakfast cereals, in fact all of the things you take for granted at home but are not possible in a hotel room. Your pool and spa are just the other side of your patio door not 8 floors below, and they are private. There really is no comparison !

Why visit Orlando?
If you have never been to the Orlando area before it will be difficult to imagine how great a place it is, it really is a fantastic holiday destination with something for everyone.

Aided by the wonderful year round warmth of it's climate, It has become one of the world's favourite vacation destination, and it just keeps getting bigger and better. There is a fantastic choice of things to see and do for people of all ages. For anyone with children, or grandchildren, or just for the young at heart the fact that Walt Disney World's 4 main theme parks are located here is probably enough.

Add Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, Sea World, the Kennedy Space Centre and all the many other attractions and you simply have a must visit destination. - but be warned once will not be enough! All the attractions are also regularly updated, and so even if you've been before there will always be lots of new things to see.

If you are a golfer, then Florida is paradise, with over a 1500 beautiful golf courses to choose from, many of which are in the Orlando area and some just minutes from the door. It's the ideal winter destination when Europe's courses are cold and wet. - Why play in the wind and rain when you can play a different course every day with the sun on your back!

It can be terrific value for money, particularly out of peak season, when flights are relatively cheap. There are lots of places to dine out inexpensively, and you can buy a wide range of goods at prices much less than the UK, for example CD's, DVD's sports equipment and designer clothes.

How long do I need to spend in Orlando?
14 days is the minimum length stay that we would recommend for your first trip to Orlando, as there are so many things to see and do.
If you take in all the main headline attractions, you could easily spend 4 weeks, and thats without taking any breaks, shopping or rest days.

It is best to pace yourself by alternating theme park visits with rest/shopping/more relaxing days. If you can spend longer than 14 days in Orlando it will probably pay you to do so. 21 day flights can be bought for a similar price to 14 day ones, and occasionally they are even cheaper. But with an extra 7 days of villa and car rental this precious time will cost you relatively little more. However long you stay be prepared to go home exhausted and poorer but with beaming smiles on your faces. 14 days will get you nicely warmed up for your return visit.
