How do I book?

Once you have identified somewhere you would like to book, you should then contact the sales team on [email protected] to book your villa. Its important to move quickly after deciding on where and when you want to go as demand may change.

Do I need to book annual leave before I book the villa? 

Yes, you should agree your annual leave with your line manager before you book the villa.

Will the company offer additional holiday days?

The company will not offer any additional holiday days with this incentive. Some of the gaps are quite short and maybe over weekends so you should use your available holiday days.

What is the approval process for taking up the offer?

A senior line manager within the business needs to approve the ‘Filla villa’ reservation at the point of booking.

Do I need to have passed my probationary period to qualify?

No, this incentive is open to all from day one.

Who is entitled to this benefit?

All of our team members within the Solmar family. Whether you are employed directly by the company, through an employer of record or you are self employed and work with us. Those who are not employed directly by Solmar, if you do take up this benefit, you need to declare it for tax purposes.
For those of you who are seasonal workers, you are able to book a filla villa for a date outside of your working term, however please ensure this is booked before the end of your contract period.

Is this open to family and friends?

You can take your family and friends with you on your holiday but you must be the lead passenger on the booking.

What do I need to pay for?

We ask that you pay to get there and enjoy yourselves. Occasionally there may be an additional minimal cost in respect of cleaning the villa but this will be confirmed to you at the time of booking. It does depend on villa to villa so cannot be confirmed until you are at the point of booking.

How many 'Filla Villas' can I book per year?

Commencing 2025, each staff member is entitled to two Filla Villa bookings each calendar year. These cannot be rolled over if they are unused.

Is the Lefkas free car hire included with my Filla Villa booking?

The free car hire and any other holiday or villa extras are not included as these are still billed to Solmar.
