A villa is not just a residence, it is a lifestyle statement and a private realm that reflects the personality, taste, and stature of the homeowner. From carefully crafted architectural forms to spaces that embrace nature, every villa is a unique creation tailored with precision, never copied or standardized. So, what is a villa, what types exist, and what defines a home that truly bears a personal identity Let us take you on an inspiring journey with 3A Signature.
What Is A Villa
From ancient Rome to the 21st century, the villa has always been associated with luxury, privacy, and elegance. In modern understanding, it refers to a private home on a generous plot, with gardens, greenery, and private pathways.
In Vietnam, according to legal standards, this type of residence has up to three main floors excluding basements, at least three open sides connected with nature, a building density below 50 percent, and a design that ensures privacy and tranquility.
At 3A Signature, the definition goes beyond the traditional framework.
Popular Types Of Villas In Vietnam
Detached Villa – Private Space, Distinctive Prestige
Built on spacious land with four open sides, a detached residence is fully independent in form and function. Surrounded by gardens, pools, garages, and private access, it is ideal for homeowners who value privacy, nature, and personalized living.
Semi Detached – Balance Of Privacy And Connection
Two symmetrical houses sharing one wall yet each with its own gate, pathway, and garden. This type suits siblings or close friends who wish to live near each other while maintaining independence.

These homes share external architectural consistency but allow customization of interiors. With front and back facades, they are popular in modern urban developments for cost efficiency and ease of maintenance.
