5 Reasons why you should choose a private villa over a hotel for your next group trip

Staying at a private villa like Keythorpe Hall offers a unique and luxurious experience that hotels simply can’t match. Here are five reasons why a villa stay is the better choice when travelling with a group of family or friends.

1. Exclusive Privacy & Space

Unlike hotels, where you share common areas with strangers, a private villa gives you an entire property to yourself. Whether you're relaxing in the garden, enjoying the pool, or dining with friends and family, it's all yours—no crowds, no noise, just total privacy.

2. Tailored, Personalized Service

At a villa like Keythorpe Hall, you get bespoke service that caters to your specific needs. Whether it’s our chef creating your menu, a fully bespoke itinerary of activities, or a personalized wine list, every detail is curated just for you.

3. All Your Loved Ones Under One Roof

A villa stay means you and your family or friends can enjoy quality time together without being split into separate hotel rooms or scattered across a resort. With shared living spaces, dining areas, and outdoor retreats, it’s perfect for bonding, celebrations, or simply reconnecting.

4. Flexibility & Freedom

Unlike hotels with strict schedules for meals, check-ins, and amenities, a private villa lets you do things your way. Want a midnight feast? A long, lazy breakfast? A customized itinerary? You set the pace, making your stay truly stress-free.

5. Unique & Authentic Experience

Hotels often feel the same, but a private estate like Keythorpe Hall is rich in character, history, and charm. From its farm-to-table ethos to its curated interiors, every detail adds to a truly memorable stay, allowing you to immerse yourself in the local culture.
