Does it have a swimming pool – All the holiday villas in Colva you will find on Goa Villa come with private swimming pools. The pool will be exclusively for you and your group for the duration of your stay. It might be useful to select a villa that has a pool with a shallow end if you are traveling with young children.

Services – Also find out the services offered at the luxury retreat. Some villas offer laundry and dry cleaning services. Others offer airport pickup/drop for a charge but it is still very convenient. There is nighttime security in some facilities. Almost all the villas have power backup. Many villas offer housekeeping services. The linen is changed every third day. Find out whether you can hire a chef.

Services of Chef, Car Rental
Villa vacations are typically self-catering holidays anywhere in the world. This means the house does not have a chef. What you will get is a fully-equipped kitchen with many modern appliances, running water, pots, pans, tableware, and glassware.
Many guests prefer this because they can eat home-cooked food, which is always healthier. You can cook a special menu if you are traveling with young children or guests with health issues. In some villas for rent in Colva, you will find a chef who can cook for you for a charge. But the cook doesn’t usually stay on the property. Let us know if you want a cook and the villa manager will inform the person in advance.

The first thing you will notice is the larger space. The bedrooms are going to be bigger. You will have a private pool, a garden, and a lawn all to yourself.

The basics – Most villas in Colva supply the basic items (salt, pepper, oil, kitchen appliances) but don’t expect washing-up liquid, dishwasher tablets, toilet paper, etc. Supplying them is at the discretion of each owner.

Check-In/Check-Out
The check-in time for Colva villas for rent is at 11:00 and the check-out time is at 14:00. The Check-in/out time is planned to give the cleaners the time they need to prepare the home. Try not to arrive hours before your check-in time as the villa may not be ready. You will be given a contact phone number when you book your luxury house. Please inform the owner/caretaker if you are delayed.
Try not to arrive at midnight as most owners/villa managers do not live at the home. If you know you will be arriving late, please let us know in advance, so that we can arrange for the key holder to be there or provide alternative arrangements.
You can request a late check-out so that you don’t reach the airport or rail station too early. You need permission in writing from the agency or villa owner for this. Always seek prior approval. If it is only for a couple of hours, the villa may allow this at no charge. But this is purely at the discretion of the individual property/owner.
