Exceptional Villas Reviews 

Noreen has been brilliant. Absolute dream of a process with all questions answered and everything organised.

Super efficient and happily recommend.

Marianne has been wonderful to work with…..she has worked on every request!

I have used Exceptional Villas for booking Villas in Antigua, Italy, and now Greece. I like the fact that Exceptional Villas staff has built relationships with the owners (often over many years) and that the staff has stayed at many of the properties and are therefore familiar with the pros and cons of each offering. This trip I worked with Alannah Harrington to book two villas (one in Crete and the other in Santorini). Alannah took the time to provide me with feedback on the available options and then booked the villas for me. I was confident that the villas would be fantastic (and they were). Once the villas were booked, I worked with a concierge, Elaine Donahue. Elaine seems to be available 24/7 for all of my questions before and during the trip. She booked all transports and excursions and similarly to Alannah she knew which were the best transport and tour companies to use. Exceptional Villas offers outstanding service and I will continue to use them to insure a fantastic vacation. Absolutely the best staff.

Incredible trip... from the second I contacted Exceptional Villas to the day of arrival - everything was handled perfectly! From food delivery, transportation, in house chefs, alcohol delivery to boat charters, Mary handled everything for us! Would 100% use again!

Great booking process, great house on Baie Longue!

A Dream Getaway – Beyond All Expectations!
From the moment we arrived at the Coral Pavillion, we were enveloped in luxury, comfort, and impeccable service. The villa itself is nothing short of spectacular—tastefully designed, immaculately maintained, and offering every amenity one could imagine. Every corner of the property feels thoughtfully curated for both relaxation and indulgence. The private beach was icing on the cake!
What truly elevated our experience, however, was the outstanding staff. Our butler was an absolute gem—attentive yet unobtrusive, anticipating our needs with warmth and grace. Whether it was organizing excursions, preparing the perfect cocktail, or setting up a surprise sunset dinner, he did it all with effortless charm and professionalism.
The rest of the staff was equally impressive. Housekeeping maintained everything flawlessly and discreetly, while the chef created culinary masterpieces that turned every meal into a celebration. We also love Marianne with Exceptional Villas. She organized every detail, including coordinating my 50th Birthday Cake inspiration!
It felt like staying in a five-star boutique resort—but with the privacy and comfort of a home. We left feeling pampered, refreshed, and already dreaming of our return. This stay was truly unforgettable. Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience the pinnacle of hospitality.

Exceptional Villas has been great to work with!

The communication and willingness to make this a great vacation has been fantastic!

It was truly glorious to work with Elaine Donoghue! She is the definition of a true professional: reliable, detail oriented, responsive, and with a great sense of humor. Elaine also suggested a fabulous hotel in Palermo which we would not have found on our own. She sent an extensive list of restaurants in Taormina which will be awesome to try. Everything about Elaine is First Class! It was so easy to work with her and I have 100% confidence in all the reservations she made on our behalf. I am traveling with 3 girlfriends and we can't wait to experience Reggiamare Villa. I only wish I could meet Elaine in person. She is your number one employee

In addition thanks to Elaine was extremely pleasant and helpful with logistics, hotels, transportation and tours.

We had a fantastic vacation. Marianne helped us plan every detail from transportation to food so we were able to relax and enjoy.

Mary was instrumental in helping us plan our trip! Amazing service. Very professional.

Communications and information provided has been concise and efficient.

Rowena and team were fabulous every step of the way! Highly recommend.

Yvonne and Rowena provided exceptional service from beginning to end for our holiday at Merlin Bay Villas in Barbados. Yvonne worked patiently over a week or so looking for exactly the right place for us, answering endless questions from my family. She is extremely knowledgable about all the properties in Barbados and gave great advice. And when, after booking, we had to change our reservations unexpectedly, she was incredibly helpful, working with the villa owner to change our dates, without any penalty. After finalizing the booking, Rowena took over and again was extremely helpful and patient in responding to questions and organizing our Platinum Services entry and exit, airport transfers, booking kayaks and snorkels, and most of all finding us the most fantastic chef. I strongly recommend Exceptional Villas, as well as Merlin Bay Villas and our chef Vivian Best. It was a dream vacation, perfect in every way. Thank you Yvonne and Rowena

Julie Kirby was a wonderful help planning our trip to Zermatt this March. She was professional and timely in her communication and went above and beyond in assisting us with our plans. Everything on our trip went very smoothly and we had a wonderful time. Highly recommend!
