holiday villa

Rented getaway residence

A holiday villa is a private house rented for vacation accommodation, typically in a warm climate or scenic location.

Villas offer more space and independence than hotels—often with kitchens, pools, and gardens—making them popular for families or groups: We rented a holiday villa in Tuscany for two weeks.

The term is more common in British than American English, where "vacation rental" predominates.
