Currently, houses marketed as "urban villas" are heavily promoted and seemingly sold quite frequently. Do you think it is appropriate to call these houses "villas"? In my opinion, they are simply two-story houses, as opposed to bungalows or one-and-a-half-story homes. When I look at these houses, I don’t think of villas at all. My husband and I are planning to buy a two-story house, but I would feel uncomfortable calling it a villa.
How do you feel about this?

Sorry, but all the topics you've started recently (and there have been quite a few) are nonsense. Sorry.
A five-year-old would ask roughly the same questions... Thank you for your honest feedback. There’s no need to apologize for it, not even twice.

I believe the term simply comes from the fact that this construction style (2 stories with hipped or pyramid roof) also exists in old town areas, and these houses probably had a "villa" character at the time they were built compared to the surrounding buildings. I think it is derived from that. For me, the word is less associated with today’s idea of a "villa" and more with the general appearance of old urban townhouses. I hope what I mean is clear.
Try doing a Bing image search for "townhouse villa." There are quite a few that look very villa-like, especially when single-story utility buildings are attached on the left and right—showing it's more than just a simple pitched roof, and so on.
If you leave all that out, it of course looks simpler. Our townhouse villa is basically just a residential cube with a pitched roof. Square, practical, and straightforward. Nothing like a "villa," even though the living room and dining area on the ground floor cover 75m² (807 sq ft) and we have four bathrooms.
