Villa Lilac, Reunion Resort

With views of the 10th hole on the Jack Nicklaus golf course, this stylish stately home in Orlando’s Reunion Resort is a modern 7-bedroom property just 15km from the magical world of Disney. Great for families or larger groups, it’s all about the comfort and contemporary furnishings here. There are lovely high ceilings, and a grand gallery landing on the first floor, and even a sofa-flooded foyer for anytime relaxation. The majority of the bedrooms can be found on the first floor – each one individually decorated in a style contrasting the other, but all with elegant, plush interiors and lovely views. Two king size bedrooms include a bathroom en suite, plus access to a balcony overlooking the pool area. The other first floor bedrooms – two kings and two themed children’s bedrooms –  share access to two good-sized family bathrooms. A further master king bedroom can be found on the ground floor, furnished with an en suite bathroom, walk in wardrobe and doors that lead out to the beautiful pool terrace.

The open plan living area takes centre stage on the ground floor – the sinkable blue sofa and gorgeous accent chairs add to the cosy, but luxury, feel of the living room, and there’s French doors for easy access to the surrounding pool deck. Cream cupboards and granite work tops combine with all the mod cons in the kitchen, and there’s a breakfast bar, hidden dining nook, and an elegant 8-seater dining table for changing up the settings during meal times. Alternatively, an outdoor barbecue and large 12-seater patio table are the perfect spots for when the weather is warm enough to eat outside. Any indoor games are best enjoyed in the property’s games room – complete with a huge film projector screen and reclining cinema-style seats, there’s arcade games, board games and an Xbox 360 to keep younger ones entertained. Foosball and a shuffleboard table can be found outside on the pool deck, alongside a private swimming pool with a spillover Jacuzzi and a  stylish outdoor lounge.
