LONDON, UK, June 11, 2009
/24-7PressRelease/ -- CV Travel has come up with a list of its top family villas and houses, selected from its worldwide collection of properties in Britain, Europe, the Caribbean, South America, South Africa, the Far East and Australasia.
Among the choices are villas with nanny annexes, with separate pool areas, houses beside sandy beaches, with staff, baby-sitters, cooks and even a Moroccan palace with maids.
THAILAND
Family villa in Koh Samui,
This stunning and ostentatious villa is surrounded by extensive gardens, with shady trees and tropical plants, providing hiding places for kids and plenty of examples of outlandish insects and plants, though a wooden railing around the pool terrace stops younger children wandering too far. A nanny can be accommodated in the study, which also could double up as a playroom. Because of the scale of the house, with five bedrooms in two separate pavilions, around a central pool terrace, two families could easily enjoy this property, which is very private and built away from other houses in the area.
Motsamot can be rented through CV Travel, from GBP2106 to GBP2502 per week for up to 8 sharing, contact CV Travel on 0207 401 1050 and http://www.cvtravel.co.uk

Corfu family holiday house
For teenagers and mixed age families Corfu's north east coast offers idyllic opportunities for pottering up and down the coast in little boats, swimming in amazingly uncrowded bays and for whiling away the afternoon in one of the excellent tavernas on the coast. Older kids can enjoy the night life in the bars and clubs in Kassiopi. Harbour Bar and the adjacent Passion Club are THE places to go and get regular mentions in the many Facebook groups that appear each season. Unlike some other clubbing destinations, it's an idyllic setting, the Greeks keep a watchful eye for any signs of rowdiness and taxis are plentiful for returning in the early hours.
CV Travel offers a week's rental of Villa Lithari, in walking distance of Kassiopi in the hills behind the town, from GBP495 to GBP920 per person, based on 6 sharing, including return flights, transfers, maid service and a welcome hamper.
