France, with its great historic cities and rolling countryside has long been a popular holiday destination for culture vultures and campers alike. French cuisine is legendary, and there is everything in this country to make for a fantastic short break or longer stay, and the best way to make the most of the time you have is by renting a holiday villa.
The advantages of this are multi-fold. As most villas charge on the property itself rather than the number of visitors, you can pool your resources with a group of friends to keep the cost down, and a really luxurious villa can work out remarkably cheap that way. But apart from the basic cost, there are other advantages to it. With no set dining times as you would get with a hotel, flexibility is total, allowing you to plan your days without having to worry about getting back on time, and a late breakfast following a long night out presents no problem. Villas in France usually come with complete fitted kitchens, and with local shops and markets within easy reach you can really immerse yourself in the culture.
Whether you’re looking for a restored farmhouse in the Dordogne, overlooking rolling valleys and fields, or a holiday apartment in the spectacular Pyrenees, you’re sure to find something to suit your requirements.
Hiring a villa makes perfect sense especially if you’re taking kids along, who appreciate flexibility and feel they have enough organising at school without getting it on their holidays as well!
