Holiday Villas and Cottages in France

Holiday Villas in France

Renting a villa in France provides quality accommodation for the whole family, plus relaxation with space and your own private grounds

Often you can find villas with pools and so many other facilities such as a BBQ and outside eating areas for that all important alfresco dining.

A self catering holiday villa with its very own pool in the south of France is the ideal way to relax and soak up the sun, whilst enjoying the wonderful French food and alone with a couple of glasses of French wine.

Holiday villas in France are available in a wide variety of styles ranging from the purpose built properties that are on a holiday complex, through to restored barns and old farmhouses that are often in secluded and idyllic peaceful settings scenic areas.

Many are privately owned second homes that are available as holiday villas for rent when the owner is not using them and they are available in all areas of France, plus for those of you who like to go away with friends or an extended family, then you can often get combined bookings for villas next to each other if you book your holiday through an agency.

But if you are thinking of a weekend break with the luxury of a French holiday villa, these are also available, especially in the off peak seasons, although in most cases you would have an extra charge for bed linen or you will be required to supply your own.

Yet on the other end of the scale, you can also rent a holiday home for a longer period of time and there are a lot of places that will provide great discounts if booking for a month or more, again, especially if this is during off peak months when the villas are not always rented.

Plus with self catering, holiday cottages in France can offer the traveller excellent value for money when looking at that typical French family holiday or off season short break in all regions.

A lot of people get confused when considering either a gite or a cottage.  Well, there is difference! Holiday gites in France are normally within the grounds of the owner's own property, or if not, then the owner will live nearby and be on hand for any questions, etc.

However, a French holiday cottage is normally known as this because it is a holiday home owned by someone living abroad, for example within Great Britain and traditionally these have been known to be better equipped with more amenities, just like you would expect from a 'home from home'.  They are frequently the owners second home which is only available for holiday rental when the owner or their family is not using it.

Holiday cottages can encompass quite a wide variety of property these days and include a range from simple converted barns, modern town houses, restored farmhouses, apartments and even quaint village houses and these can be located in rural villages, by the beach, in the mountains or in the centre of towns and cities.

If you like peace and quiet and being able to have to yourselves, then a self catering holiday cottage is an ideal base for that family holiday in France.
