Private Holiday Houses personally chosen by
Sarah Hutchins and Judith Menier

SJ Villas is a privately owned, London based company specialising in beautiful holiday homes to rent around the world.

Our website is only a window display of some of the unique houses we have to offer, and we have the capabilities to search out exactly what you are looking for, wherever that might be. When necessary we work with trusted experts in a particular region, who understand our standards.

Our service is highly personalised and very detailed, and most house services are arranged free of charge. We take the time to discuss with you your holiday likes and dislikes. We like to hear about your family or the friends travelling with you, so we can better understand what everyone might like to do. We will help you on the choice of location, recommend and assist you choose your house, suggest best ways of travel, have your fridge filled with whatever you might wish to have there on your arrival and organise everything from cooks to bicycles, weddings to birthdays.

In these days of easy internet access it can well be asked: why bother using an agency like us? Well, we know our houses, we personally know our owners, we only work with a small selection of tried and tested local agents and we regularly visit properties both known and new to us. We refuse more houses than we list and basically we are seasoned travellers and very picky people.

Our aim is to make every one of your holidays truly memorable.

So do call - we would love to talk to you
