Penelope’s Paradise | Huge LR/ DR, dragon BR, pool, kitchen, next to Universal
Urban sophistication meets cozy vibes in this super chic 4-bedroom gem on Orlando's International Drive–steps from the best theme parks, attractions, dining, and shopping this epic city has to offer. Set your bags down in one of three delicious king bedrooms, and send the littles off to enjoy the whimsical themed bedroom—where their imaginations will run as wild as the Universal Orlando coasters down the road. Start or end your day at your private pool ft. loungers, a patio table, and more.
ABOUT THE RESORT
Located next door to Universal Orlando & Epic Universe, ~20 minutes to Walt Disney World, and steps to International Drive, Villatel Orlando Resort offers the City’s most spacious, adventure-packed accommodations and sprawling resort amenities. Spread across a whopping 80 acres, those include the Grand Pool, pickleball & basketball courts, a covered playground, Topgolf swing suite, a full-scale fitness center, Aqua Bar and Grille, and Aqua Bay water park—featuring thrilling slides, a Lazy Loop, and the Splash Cove wet playground for the littles.
LIVING/DINING:
Steps past the front door, a chic foyer gives way to a light-filled, open-concept dining and living space. Eight elegant chairs surround an oval-shaped, deep wood table, situated beneath a modern rounded chandelier. The adjacent living room offers a large, plush sectional and armchair, surrounded by artsy mirrors, wall paintings, and a large TV. From movie night to chilling with fam and friends–this will be your go-to spot.

Dining room
• Long Table – 95” x 43”

KITCHEN:
Let’s face it, it’s not a vacay without amazing FOOD–and in this villa, meals and snacks are on tap whenever you want ‘em, thanks to your own, fully-equipped kitchen! From high end appliances to a full stock of cookware and tableware, you’ll have everything you need to cook up (or warm up ;) a feast. And for an added plus, this space is easy on the eyes, with its sleek light gray cabinetry, white countertops and island, stainless appliances, and modern hanging fixtures.
What you’ll find:

LAUNDRY ROOM:
Put away that extra suitcase of clothes–because a built-in washer and dryer on the second floor means you can clean and rewear your stuff! Gone are the days of piling up mounds of laundry in plastic hotel-room bags and returning home with hours of chores. Especially you moms and dads out there, this in-house amenity may just be the most exciting part of the trip. ;)
POOL/PATIO:
Pool days are an integral part of any Orlando vacay–and this villa features its very own! Start or end your day with a splash, without even leaving the front door. Whether you’re taking a dip in the refreshing water, sunbathing on a comfy lounger, or dining al fresco at the patio table, this outdoor oasis is a dream spot for R&R.
What you’ll find:
• Pool
• Covered lanai
• Patio table w/ 6 chairs
• Lounge area

Going to bed in any of the three sleek, spacious, and stunning bedrooms will feel like a mini getaway of its own. Plush mattresses and cozy white linens invite you to jump in for long, cozy zzz’s, surrounded by luxe, chic decor in cool blue and neutral hues. Forewarning: you may end up wanting to skip the night activity and hit the sack early!
THEMED BEDROOM:
Dragon's Den
(4 Twins) Imagination takes flight (literally) in this extraordinary ‘Dragon’s Den’ themed bedroom designed after your favorite dragon franchise! The bunk beds in this room are the real eye-catchers. The first is fashioned as a viking-style cottage with a green curved roof and sturdy wooden walls–perfect for your mini warriors. The second bunk bed resembles a cliffside grotto, tucked inside a lifelike cliff and surrounded by shimmering waters. As you step through the small 'cave' entrance, a friendly dragon sculpture will welcome you into your private retreat. Descend from the skies to the ground on a blue slide attached to the top bunk. All around, the walls come alive with vivid artwork, featuring awe-inspiring dragons soaring amidst the boundless skies, towering cliffs, and serene blue waters stretching as far as the eye can see.
