Villa holidays in Greece and Cyprus
Welcome to our Golden Anniversary collection. Much has changed since we organised our first villa holiday, but our aim remains the same - to offer an escape from the routine, supported by our knowledgeable reservation and resort teams.
Our latest collection includes an exclusive selection of private villas and cottages across Greece and Cyprus, each handpicked and vetted by our destination experts. There truly is a holiday for all.
Five reasons to choose GIC The Villa Collection
We understand that it is the little things that can transform your holiday into a lifetime of memories. Discover for yourself the subtle differences that make GIC The Villa Collection one of the UK's leading villa specialists, and why so many of our guests choose to travel with us year-on-year.
Personal Service: Our guest feedback always notes the professionalism and friendliness of our overseas representatives, many of whom live and work in Greece and Cyprus year-round. Whether you meet Effi on Paxos, Julia on Corfu, Julie on Lefkas, Julia on Alonissos, Angela on Cyprus etc. you can relax, safe in the knowledge that you will be, unobtrusively, looked after. Our overseas teams project our holidays to another level.
Honesty: Our collection has been compiled using the information obtained through our visits and from our experienced overseas team. Our descriptions are not flowery – they are honest and designed to highlight the key selling points of each villa, so that you know exactly what to expect. We focus on the comfort, views, facilities and proximity to local amenities. If it is a simple property but the surroundings are breathtaking or the owner is extremely hospitable, this will be described.
Trust: We take full responsibility for all aspects of our holidays and offer 100% financial protection. There are no hidden extras. All our holidays include:
- 20kg hold luggage PLUS 5kg of hand luggage per person
- A UK airport representative. Departures are available from London Gatwick, London Stansted, Manchester, Bristol and Birmingham
- An experienced local representative
- Car hire and/or transfers
- A welcome pack full of goodies for your first night
- All this is backed up by an experienced villa team in the UK – on hand to help and advise from the initial planning to your return from holiday – and a 24 hour emergency line.
Variety: A holiday for all Whether you are dreaming of a romantic hideaway amongst the olive-clad hills of the Ionian; a spacious home-from-home, where the whole family can relax, swim and play; or a villa idyllically positioned on a turquoise shoreline, our portfolio has the property for you.
Unrivalled knowledge: With 50 years of experience comes a depth of knowledge that goes far beyond the surface of our destinations. Greece and Cyprus are in our blood: we love these countries, their scenery, culture, heritage and people, and we want nothing more than to share this passion with you. We only feature villas that we have handpicked, and places that we have enjoyed visiting. Our reservations team have been with us for an average of 10 years each and have visited each of our featured destinations. If you have any questions, or need advice on the best island or property for you, they can assist. They will also share their insider tips.
Our personal service and tailor-made itineraries ensure that each holiday is perfectly designed to your individual needs and style – whether that’s a secluded stylish retreat, a studio with modern facilities close to local tavernas, or small romantic properties which will take your breath away. From the moment a representative meets you at the airport to the first excited exploration of your holiday home, we want to make your holiday unforgettable.
