Buying a luxury villa

Buy or rent luxury villas - discover the world of exclusive properties.

What characteristics make a property a luxury villa? The answer to this question does not lie solely in the purchase price, even if this is significantly higher than for other properties. A luxury villa is characterised above all by its above-average size, particularly high-quality furnishings and design highlights. In addition, such properties are considered crisis-proof and, thanks to the increasing demand in many places, an extremely lucrative investment. In the following, we will show you everything you need to know about buying a luxury villa.

Luxury villa - what furnishings should it have?

The term "villa" was originally used to describe large Roman country estates. In the meantime, the word is used for almost all luxurious properties that have first-class furnishings and size. Often, luxury villas are located in prime locations, so-called villa districts or colonies. The range of architectural styles for such properties is diverse: from a mansion steeped in history to a lovingly restored old building to a minimalist Bauhaus-style property, there are no limits to the imagination. Properties are also diverse in terms of amenities and often have unique features such as an individual home cinema or a wine cellar. Often, a luxury villa comes with a pool and a large garden.

Where can I buy a luxury villa?

If you want to buy a luxury villa, you are undoubtedly facing a big investment. In addition to the first-class furnishings, such properties are also characterised by a higher price level. Nevertheless, the purchase of a luxury villa is often a lucrative investment: for years, the demand for properties in the premium segment has been increasing almost everywhere, which in turn often means a positive price trend. For this reason, buying a luxury villa can turn out to be an excellent investment in the long term.

Of course, a luxury villa can often also be rented. This makes sense especially if the location is only to serve as a residence for the foreseeable future. In this way, tenants have the opportunity to live in a luxury villa without having to enter into a fixed commitment through purchase. If you would like to buy or rent a luxury villa, you are sure to find the right property in our portfolio.
