That’ll pay court bills! Inside Vardys’ £30k-a-week villa that’s now for rent

SIX BEDROOMS INFINITY POOLS HIGH-END GYM CINEMA ROOM 8 VISITS FROM THE ROONEYS

WITH six bedrooms, a cinema room and private infinity pools, it’s far from your typical holiday rental.

But Jamie and Rebekah Vardy have opened their multi-million-pound villa up to summer guests – provided they can afford the £30,000-a-week cost.

The Leicester City striker and his wife call the property in the exclusive Portuguese resort of Quinta do Lago – popular with stars including Ant and Dec – their ‘sanctuary’.

Yet sources close to the couple, who are worth £12million, say renting it out could help pay off legal costs from Mrs Vardy’s Wagatha Christie libel trial. They face a possible sevenfigure bill that could reach £2million if Mrs Vardy, 40, loses the High Court case against fellow Wag Coleen Rooney, 36.

A brochure for the ‘spectacular newly built villa’ – which can generate rental income of between £10,500 and £28,500 for a seven-day stay – states that it is being ‘offered for the first time for holiday rental’.

One source told the Daily Mail: ‘It is sitting there empty a lot of the time but it was the Vardys’ special place.

‘But it got to the point where actually it could be lucrative to let it out so they came to the decision of doing so. To make almost £30,000 per week for not having to do much made it a no-brainer for them.

‘It is perhaps no coincidence the decision to let it out coincided with the legal case, which has proved to be very expensive.’

Despite marketing the property, earlier this week the villa had at least five weeks available during the peak summer season, including seven days in August priced at £28,500.

High-end holidaymakers who rent it out could even bump into the Rooneys, who are understood to own a property in the resort.

Mrs Vardy sued after Mrs Rooney accused her of leaking stories to The Sun. A judgment in the case is due later this year.
