Welcome to the Residence Royale rental program of luxury villas and apartments  in the southern countries of Europe. 

Residence Royale is an expert rental agency renting out luxurious and exclusive holdiday accommodation Spain, France, Portugal, Italy, Greece and Croatia. 

Quality

Residence Royale applies very high selection criteria before entering holiday villas into its program. Every villa and apartment is carefully inspected beforehand and Residence Royale can therefore guarantee that every accommodation will meet the luxury and comfort requirements of our discerning clients. 

The quality of the accommodation is in accordance with the number of stars, so five stars will be absolute top quality. In some cases we even awarded 6 stars for utmost luxury and elegance. The minimum number of stars is 3. 

Spain

In Spain we selected two top locations: the exclusive Marbella on the Costa del Sol and Mallorca(Majorca), one of the Balearic islands.
Marbella is the famous holiday resort of the international jet-set. It has lovely beaches, many golf courses and a sparkling night-life. 

Mallorca (Majorca) is a many-sided island. In a relatively small area one can enjoy beautiful beaches, idyllic bays and imposing mountains. 

France

In France we selected luxury villas on the Côte d’Azur near CannesCap Ferrat and Saint Tropez (St. Tropez). 

Portugal

In Portugal Residence Royale selected accommodation in exclusive resorts in the eastern Algarve. The most exclusive resorts in the Algarve are in Vale do Lobo andQuinta do Lago, but also in Vale do GarrãoCarvoeiro and Vilamourayou can find luxurious villas. 

In the Lisbon area we selected accommodation in Cascais and Sintraand a bit further up north on the Atlantic coast we chose the famous resort Praia del Rey

Italy

The locations in Italy are chosen from a cultural-historical point of view. 

We selected some interesting accommodation in Rome and nearFlorence and Lucca in Tuscany. The villas on the west coast of Italy, e.g. near Orbetello and Lucca are ideal if you want to combine the pleasures of the beach with interesting cultural excursions. 

Greece

The Residence Royale program in Greece consists as yet of only one palatial villa on the isle of Corfu. The extraordinary luxury and elegance of this villa and the outstanding service of its staff has been rewarded by residence Royale by 6 stars. 

During winter season Residence Royale offers special long-term and medium-term rental rates. The accommodation varies from luxurious studios for 2 persons to exclusive villas for 15 persons. 

Whether you prefer a beach holiday, a golf holiday or an tranquil retreat in the hills, Residence Royale can accommodate you.
