We found there was a difference in noise level between the 2 types of villas. Our friends have a courtyard villa, and when their neighbors are out on their lanai talking in just normal voices, you can hear it very clearly on my friend's lanai. We used to own a patio villa, and it was always very quiet, we could not hear our neighbors due to the way the homes are set up and constructed. We landscaped the front yard with trees and larger shrubs, which made it seem very private visually as well.
