It is a widely accepted fact that we get busier as we approach 21st century. As we cope with the demands of a very busy, hectic, tied up 24 hour urban lifestyle, we reproduce the same daily routine narrowing down the room for personal space and further damaging our physical and mental health.

In a social research about the effects of stress and the 24 hour society, the study showed these startling figures: 63% of those who report stress expect the problem to stay unchanged or get worse; 53% of people have suffered from work-related stress in the past 12 months; 57% of those who have experienced stress says it has worsened in the past year; 72% of those who are stressed blame too much work; 52% of those under stress feel it is damaging their health and; 20% have sought medical or other professional help (Lynn Eaton, 2005).

Furthermore, if this would remain predominant in our lifestyle, we would be allowing pathologies to take place unexpectedly, be it physiological, psychological or social. As any psychoanalyst would suggest, it is always advisable to have a pause and find a release of tension in everything we do.

Thus, having a pause can mean so little yet so much of impact to the stress of everyday industrial life. It can be some sort of a healing session with a guidance adviser, an open and honest conversation with a friend, or a holiday get away. In addition, release of stress can be done through art, music therapy, meditation, or merely a walk in the park. There are in fact a lot of options.

With this in mind, we can surely take a break from the hassles and bustles of modern day lifestyle. If you are thinking of having some sort of a break away, something that can really be considered a real 'break', and something that would wither away the images, physical atmosphere and social climate of the routinary day to day struggle, then it would be best to settle in a villa.

This is certainly the place you are suited when you need more time to think and reflect on the things you do daily. Especially when getting a little bit burned out or exhausted, villas can provide the same, or even more, the comfort and privacy of your own home without having to face with the entire stimulus you are encountering in your everyday life.

Villas can be something in mind that is a kind of get away from the busyness and hassle of urban life. It can be some sort of music to the ears that can trigger nice memories of the past or imaginations of a future serene situation detached from the suburbs where all you feel are the caress of nature and the luxury of the services you are able to cover.

Historically, since the time of the Romans to the Renaissance era, to the present day, the evolution of the concept of villas has changed dramatically. From a merely upper class concept to a seemingly more and more grassroots idea, villas are now conventionally used to describe a modern parlance situated to an idyllic location where relaxation is mostly conducive.

Added to this, villas have been historically used for relaxation and reflection purposes by people faced with stress and exhaustion. It was not something though, that normal people can afford. However, with the advent of modern luxury villas, you are able to have a 24/7 access.

Studies also show that people who have released their bottled emotions function more productively. So give it a shot and try it out yourself and figure out what I am talking about.
