Beautiful Places

About

Luxury villa and vacation rentals in key destinations worldwide.

Story

Ever wish you had a home in the wine country, a beachfront cottage,
a hilltop estate in Tuscany, a remote island retreat, a ski chalet?

A comfortable private home where you can relax and spend quality time with family and friends.

A place where you could go whenever you want and have someone else take care of all the details.

A place where you truly feel at home and enjoy the local lifestyle and culture without worrying about the upkeep, mortgage payments, and commitment?

Welcome to BeautifulPlaces, a hospitality company specializing in the finest international villa rentals and custom concierge services. Like you, BeautifulPlaces founders and world travelers Patrick Smith and Liza Graves were also looking for that perfect vacation rental for their growing family and needed some direction. In 2005, when they couldn’t find the type of services they wanted, they decided to create a company that would take a very personal approach to vacation rentals. Though BeautifulPlaces has grown and now has homes in key destinations in the United States, Europe, Caribbean and Mexico, the company still maintains that same one on one relationship with guests and has been consistently recognized by Conde Nast Traveler and Travel and Leisure magazines as one of the top villa companies in the world.

The Personal Approach
Unlike the ‘scroll through hundreds of homes’ selection process of other vacation rental companies, we take a very personal one on one approach focusing on what you want in a home…and in a vacation. Whether you are looking for a hilltop modern masterpiece to dazzle friends, a cozy romantic charmer, a sprawling estate that can accommodate a crowd, or a family-friendly classic, we’ll find you the perfect home in the ideal location. Be assured, all of our villas are routinely inspected to assure they meet and maintain our highest standards.

The Choice is Yours
We know how hectic life can be so we made reserving a villa simple. You decide where you want to go, when you want to go, and for how long you want to do. At BeautifulPlaces, there are no dues, no complex reservation system and no long term commitments.

Your Personal Concierge
The BeautifulPlaces concierge team is at your service and available 24/7 to handle all personal arrangements; plan custom itineraries; create exclusive experiences and hands on activities; arrange meetings with local experts; and provide insider tips (not found in guidebooks) about the destination so you’ll feel like an instant native no matter where in the world you are! If you’re a foodie, we’ll steer you to top chefs, winemakers and artisan food purveyors; like the great outdoors? Our local guides will show you the way; interested in the arts? We’ve got entry into theater, studios and galleries; need to entertain the kids? Let us know their ages and we’re on it; prefer to meet regular folks? We’ll draw you a map to the local hangouts and events.

Villas are not just for Celebrities
Yes, celebrities were the first to discover and covet the villa lifestyle, but today villas are a popular and affordable choice for families and friends who want to enjoy the relaxed and fun getaway only a private home can offer. It’s also a great way to get to experience a new destination.
