Quality Villas press pack

1. Quality Villas is rather proud of its beginnings. It is pleased to be privately
owned and have the luxury of defining its own values. It has always had a
very personal connection with its owners and its clients. Customers often
tell us how refreshing it is to speak to a person and not be a reference
number. If ever a client wishes to speak to someone who has actually seen
the house, we can fit the bill …. and we love these chats.
And then of course there are the houses.
France, Italy and Morocco.
Contemporary, classic, farmhouse, villa, chateau, grand-design.
(If there isn’t a pool it is because the sea is next door)
The core requirement is always Quality Quality Quality…
we really do live up to our name.

2. We have over 28 years experience at
the luxury end of the villa market.
We market around the world, not
just the UK. Our website is currently
available in English and Russian.
We personally inspect every house
we represent and take care to know
the houses well.
Our sales team in the UK travel
each year in order to know our
properties.
We have local English speaking reps
in each country.
Who
are we?
We are 100% privately owned,
privately run and represent
the owners of over 500

3. A family
company that
has stayed in
touch with it’s
core values
We have a network of support in each area we work
in to offer our customers additional services for their
holiday, from babysitters and chefs to chauffeurs.
We are a perfect example of a family company that
has stayed in touch with its core values and the
market it works in. From its first days where the Rees

countries, we remain a company that gives a personal
touch and superb service.

All the houses we represent are privately owned.
This rich diversity of international ownership in
our three countries feeds into the uniqueness of

We represent a huge range of styles to suit all

Moroccan sumptuous, we believe in variety and
keep an ongoing selection of style boards on
Pinterest to reflect this diversity.

9. Quality Villas
style challenge
With over 28 years renting luxury
villas, Quality Villas has always
known that a range of styles are
important to give their customers
exactly what they are looking
for, however the popularity of
home styling programmes and
magazines has promoted a boom in
a style based holiday.
“When I started Quality Villas 28 years ago the
majority of requests started with the party size,
location, a modern or period property and then
nitty gritty questions such as steps for kids. Now
we find an additional request for styles, from the
fashion of shabby chic a few years back to urban
minimalism and country chic. It’s great fun for us
to meet these requests and it works in our favour as
a niche, personal business as we know the owners
properties we represent very well and so can share
this knowledge with ease’”
(Margaret Rees, owner & founder of Quality Villas)

10. They believe their pinterest boards would
be a great springboard for journalists
looking to create a style feature or seek
locations for photo shoots and would
greatly welcome the chance to provide a
shortlist of properties to suit specific needs.
Quality Villas constantly
updates a series of style based
pinterest boards for their customers
(www.pinterest.com/qualityvillas)
and share their collections regularly
on facebook.
