Copywriting & Consultancy
Copywriting and Marketing for Villa Holiday Websites
In addition to sourcing villas in Italy and France, I offer a bespoke consultancy service that helps villa companies and villa owners to improve or create their own marketing strategies. I work alongside website designers and branding specialists to do this.
My particular focus is creating website copy that is appealing and original. Over the years I have written about incredible villas and sought-after holiday destinations, not just in Italy and France but also in Spain, the Balearics, Greece, Croatia, Turkey, Switzerland and the French Alps.
Why choose me to write your copy?
Firstly, you benefit from my experience. I have been writing copy for luxury villa brochures and villa holiday websites for over 20 years.
Secondly, you can rely on me to produce inspiring copy. I am an English literature graduate and I have worked as an English language teacher so I am well-versed in the art of writing well.
Thirdly, in 2020 I completed further training to sharpen my written and SEO skills, specifically for luxury travel websites. It means that the copy I produce is appealing, not just for your clients, but for Google and other search engines too.
Lastly, my copy is always geared to your style and tone. I aim to make it engaging by combining a balance of accurate information and inviting descriptions. Ultimately, it needs to complement your brand and generate bookings.

Marketing Consultancy
My marketing consultancy service is bespoke advice and practical help for the owners or managers of luxury holiday villas. The service is focused on finding ideal guests and improving rental income, working alongside website designer and branding specialist Jenn Boyles of Direct Booking Success for the best results. From creating a villa website, making a villa more desirable, photography, improving copy and more, this service gives you the tools to make your rentals a success.
I usually review the following broad categories in order to identify what needs to be updated:
Bookings
Where the bookings come from (agencies, direct, recommendation etc.). Who your clients are and how you collect the information. I will recommend ways to streamline the process, identify the most suitable and effective agencies and your ideal client.
The Guest Experience
From initial enquiry to booking procedure and arrival/departure. Villa information, facilities, amenities, services and testimonials. How can this be improved? I will look at how it is now and recommend ways to improve it.
Pricing
How do the rental prices and season bands compare with competitors? And should they be adjusted?
Marketing & PR
Your villa website, photography, agency and villa listing sites, Google ads and social media. Also advertising, networking, PR and marketing materials. Is there a budget for this? Should it be streamlined? And what could be introduced to improve it in order to attract and retain your ideal guests?
