The Villa Escape is an experiential travel company curating holidays for the discerning traveler. The Villa Escape experience really enriches your holiday.
We are pioneers in CHASING the NORTHERN LIGHTS from LAPLAND, TROMSO or ICELAND. We also have small group trips to ISRAEL, RUSSIA, JAPAN and other countries. Get away from the blandness of hotel rooms and crowds of other guests as you get a luxury home complete with private pool access, a kitchen, gorgeous views, ample space and more amenities like concierge services and private chefs that can cook
meals in the comfort of your villa’s gourmet kitchen. We have carefully selected villas that we know and have shortlisted for their location, comfort and history. We give you a menu of optional activities, so you can choose a few fun events or just chill and take a breather, without ever feeling the constraints of a full tour. After all, the beauty of a Villa holiday is being together with friends and family and the joy of discovering a whole new way of spending your time off, like we did.

Antibes might not make every bucket list—but that’s exactly why it should. 🏝️🌊
Tucked between Cannes and Nice, this underrated gem is all charm: cobbled lanes, medieval ramparts, sea-kissed skies, and artists’ corners that once inspired Picasso. Fewer crowds, more soul.
Umbria isn’t Tuscany’s quieter cousin—it’s Italy’s best-kept secret. Here, medieval towns rise from hilltops where cars still aren’t allowed, olive oil flows like liquid gold, and the air smells like truffles and wild herbs. You’ll stumble upon jazz festivals in ancient piazzas, saffron fields that look like paintings, and even a lake with an island village in the middle. No crowds, no clichés—just a side of Italy that’s soulful, slow, and seriously special.
