What does VILLA mean in Scrabble?
noun

The word later spread across Europe for a detached suburban or countryside house, often with its own grounds, and is now widely used for holiday properties rented out to tourists in Mediterranean and other warm destinations. In Britain, villa can also describe a detached or semi-detached suburban house built in a particular style.
