For the majority of the population a week or two of holidays is a time of relaxation, and while discovery and exploring new areas are also a motive for a trip, relaxing is still the most common reason for one.
For a long time villa holidays have held a good share of the market, and there are attributes that really count compared to hotels for people who want to get away from it all.
Most of the properties on offer from owners and travel companies are detached - no noisy hotel guests next door or above - ensuring a good night's sleep or disturbance during the day.
A spacious lounge / dining area with satellite television, a fully equpped kitchen, three bedrooms to choose from and a couple of bathrooms is the norm for most villa holidays and the space compared to hotel is so much more that it adds to a relaxing atmosphere.
Outside some garden area and a swimming pool, invariably 8 x 4 metres is almost standard, and of course being soley for the use of the people renting means that there are no busy times to avoid, allowing a swim at a time to suit the holidaymaker - less stress again.
But the best way to get rid of stress is to ditch the car and rent a villa that's within easy walking distance of a local village or resort that has shops, bars and restaurants, with bus connections to other places if you want to get out and about.
Driving at home especially if you are living in a city or the suburbs is a stressful experience, and having a holiday where you don't need to get behind the wheel is liberating - a primary reason why car free villa holidays are popular.
Helpfully for those who do want a car free villa holiday some of the private owners highlight this in their literature and advertisements, and not needing a car is an option given by some of the specialist companies so the results given will narrow those to no car needed, saving a lot of research time for those who want this option.
Looking at what is available with leading villa holiday companies, for those who like a winter break there are at least six properties located within walking distance of all the amenities needed and no need to hire a car for the island of Tenerife.
Another of the favourite winter holiday destinations is Tenerife's neighbouring Canary island Lanzarote where there is even more choice with 8 car optional Lanzarote villa holidays available.
Summer holidays are catered for too, with both Menorca and Majorca being on offer for those who want to leave driving behind for a week or two. Majorca has 11 villas on offer while Menorca wins the prize for giving most choice to those who want a quiet, peaceful villa holiday that's car free with over sixty properties on offer from one company alone.
If you want less stress in your life, a car free villa holiday is great way to ensure some of the year at least you can experience it.
