Residences locally known as 'Villas' usually refer to a stately family home with grape and/or olive growing dating back several centuries or more. That is where the word got some of its aura going back to Roman times.
Apartments are almost all privately owned. They are mostly found in converted family mansions (palazzos) or town houses. In rural areas apartments are mostly converted farm buildings associated with a larger estate.
A typical hotel, as in most of Italy, would be family owned and not usually part of a chain. It will usually offer a wider range of services than a B&B including meals, a bar and a reception desk. Some may be luxurious and centuries old.
