Winner:JOINT GOLD Best Luxury Villa Holiday for Families
Who:Scott Williams
What:A collection includes over 250 outstanding villas wordwide
Why:
Founded in 2007 by Victoria Hooberman from her home in Somerset, Scott Williams now encompasses over 250 exceptional villas across France, Spain, Italy, Greece, Croatia, Morocco, the Caribbean, Sri Lanka, and the UK. This thoughtfully curated collection of luxury family villas is refreshed annually and the company is celebrated for its meticulous attention to detail from booking to arrival, offering a truly seamless luxury holiday experience in some of the world’s most beautiful destinations.
Each villa in the Scott Williams collection is handpicked for its individuality and unique appeal — whether it’s a breathtaking view, a striking pool, or a secluded beach, there will be something distinctly special about it. From grand estates to intimate hideaways, every property is chosen for its personality and “wow factor,” ensuring guests experience something far beyond the ordinary.
"As well as villas that are set apart from your average, the personal element of Scott Williams stands out to me. The ability to chat and ask all those all-important questions when it comes to family travel such as, "Is the pool separate?" or, "Are there bedrooms with outside access?", is invaluable."
"So many great locations at a variety of budgets and great for children."
"My eyes were on stalks looking at these stunning villas. The quality is superb and I'd quite like to LIVE in all of them, let alone holiday in them!"
What makes it Special...
What sets Scott Williams apart is their portfolio of exceptional villas and a team that truly understands family travel. Each property offers something extraordinary — a breathtaking view, a private beach, or a fabulous pool — with thoughtful touches for all ages, from soft play rooms and teen spaces to safe, inspiring environments for children to explore.
Bookings are personal, with the expert team guiding families from enquiry to arrival, answering every question about safety, accessibility, or local experiences. Concierge services arrange access to secret beaches, boat trips, or restaurant reservations, ensuring stress-free holidays.
Passionate about the Ionian islands, Scott Williams partners with the Ionian Environmental Foundation, allowing guests support marine and island conservation. Families can relax, children can thrive, and every stay becomes a luxurious, unforgettable, and responsible escape.
"There is only one of each exceptional house, and our clients have learnt that if there’s a house, and a date, that you want, you don’t hang around!"
Ideal for ...
Scott Williams caters to discerning travellers — couples, friends, families, and multi-generational groups — seeking extraordinary holiday homes and effortless luxury. Villas range from cosy boltholes for two to sprawling estates with multiple properties, often including separate cottages for grandparents, making them perfect for all ages.
Families are well catered for, with soft play rooms, teen spaces, pools, and private beaches. The collection is also popular for celebrations, especially in Morocco, where dedicated staff prepare meals, arrange activities, and offer insider local knowledge, letting families focus on creating magical memories together.
