Starting with a small portfolio of villas in Spain, the company quickly grew, expanding its offerings to include properties in Italy, Portugal, Greece, and other popular destinations.
Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, James Villas cemented its reputation for reliability and quality, becoming a household name in the UK travel market. The company emphasised attention to detail, ensuring every villa met high standards and was vetted personally by its team.
In 2010, James Villas joined the Wyndham Vacation Rentals group, further broadening its reach and resources. Today, it remains a trusted choice for travellers looking for a personalised and private holiday experience, with over 3,000 villas in more than 50 destinations worldwide.
