Couples Collection
View and Book onlineIf you’re looking for a stunning getaway for you and your other half, then a romantic holiday to one of the Greek islands, the mainland or Cyprus should be at the top of your list! Whether you’re dreaming of reclining on secluded beaches looking out into the Aegean Sea, or lingering over traditionally cooked dinners at one of the many locally-owned tavernas, there is nowhere in the world better suited for a couples holiday.
Our Couples Collection has been handpicked by our destination specialists. Each property featured has been selected for its atmosphere, facilities and location, and are guaranteed to offer you moments of tranquillity and togetherness. We understand that one villa will not suit all which is why our collection encompasses idyllic retreats away from it all as well as characterful villas a mere stone's throw from the action
No matter your chosen holiday, you will benefit from the services of an experienced local representative and GIC's 'little extras'.Our local representatives
We pride ourselves on having some of the best overseas representatives, many of whom have lived and worked in Greece and Cyprus for many years. Do not worry, though, as there will be no attempt to organise you. Having met you on arrival and settled you into your villa, we see it as our task to provide, unobtrusively, a range of services on which you and your partner can rely on should the need arise.
Our 'little extras'
There’s nothing more relaxing than starting your holiday by arriving at a pristine villa, where everything is laid out for you. You’ll find a welcome basket with everything you need on arrival, allowing you to head straight out to the beach, take a dip in your private pool or fire up a barbecue on the terrace.
The GIC The Villa Collection representatives on each island will also be able to recommend restaurants for indulgent late-night dinners or the most exclusive bars for a nightcap.
If you're wishing to hire a motorboat for a day or two, we can assist in many of our destinations, and help to arrange excursions to sites of interest.
Before you leave from the UK you will also notice our subtle differences: 20kg of luggage per person, the option to pre-book your chosen flight seats together and contact with our knowledgeable villa specialists - there is little they do not know about our destinations and featured properties.
