Villazzo Takes Villas a Step Up

Many of the people who indulge in rented luxury villas don't always get what they bargained for. You'd think, compared to a hotel, that a villa would be a nicer, better experience -- but most of the time it isn't. So Christian Jagodzinski decided to fix that by starting his own company of luxury villas that would deliver as he expected they should: Villazzo was born.

With most everything pre-arranged, Jagodzinski thinks of Villazzo as more of a hotel-type service than villas. He even makes a point to offer the same services as top hotels, such as porters and maids, strawberries and champagne, and even a helicopter in the France location to help guests avoid pesky traffic when traveling to nearby retreats -- there are 35 specific luxury services offered altogether.

So if you've been frustrated in the past and haven't yet tried Villazzo, maybe you should consider it. There are six locations around the world, with prices around $2000 per night/$14000 per week.

Filed under: Handbags

Buying a bag based on the fact that you like the name is not necessarily the best plan, but you have to admit that the Boogie Night Leather Strass Bag from Celine does have a good one. The smooth-grained black leather bag is adorned with jewel-cut crystals and bright silver hardware. It has two small rolled leather handles that fit nicely in hand, and a top zipper to keep everything inside secure when you're on the go. The lining is fabric and there is one pocket inside, as well as two tiny ones at either end on the outside of the purse. It measures only 8" x 4.75" x 3". Price: $930.
