A&K reveals 40 premium villas in Black Collection


Ben Ireland ben.ireland@travelweekly.co.uk


Abercrombie & Kent Villas has launched its annual Black Collection of 40 premium villas.


The properties are based on star


quality and how likely they are to appear on Instagram by factoring in decor, amenities, location and popularity with guests. Villas are located in destinations such as France, Italy, Croatia, Spain, Greece, Portugal and the UK, and are picked on the basis that they offer “a wow factor” or “a ‘je ne sais quoi’ that elevates them into the realms of the rarefied and extraordinary”.


Each includes either A&K Villas Gold or Platinum concierge service. Gold includes an introductory tour and a grocery shop waiting on arrival, while Platinum includes the Gold service plus extras such as a daily maid service and fresh flowers. Kerry Golds, managing director
