Staying in a magnificent private villa is generally an invitation-only affair. If you haven't received your invite to Lake Como in Italy from Mr. Clooney yet (it must have gotten lost in the mail), you can still experience the pleasure of being a guest at a luxurious residence, thanks to Bella Palazzo. A private villa rental agency and concierge service, Bella Palazzo opens the doors for travelers to a collection of fine villas and estates in various locations, including 25 properties in the Phoenix and Scottsdale areas of Arizona.

Among these villas is the stunning La Belleza di Paradiso villa in Paradise Valley, decorated with antique Venetian plaster walls and surrounded by lush landscaping. Also in Paradise Valley is the Redwing Retreat, a mid-century modernist’s dream abode featuring Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired design and a lush backyard (complete with a pool) that can accommodate up to 200 people for an outdoor dinner. Another standout is the six-bedroom Contemporary Hillside villa on Camelback Mountain, offering unobstructed views of downtown Phoenix along with a lower level game room, equipped with a pool table, slot machines and pinball machines. This villa is the most expensive of the Arizona properties, renting for $6,000 per night. Other villas range from $1,200 to $5,000 per night and sleep at least six.

A private villa or estate is the way to go for those who are traveling in a group or looking for more personal and private accommodations than a hotel. In addition to being a luxurious lodging option, these villas can also be rented for just one night to host an impressive cocktail party or corporate event. Companies such as Audi, Marquis Jet and the NFL organization have used Bella Palazzo properties for product launches and other events. Whatever reason you have for renting one of these properties, you'll have the satisfaction of knowing that it will be a villa where you are the one doing the inviting.
