Find A Luxury Vacation Rental In France

By Adriana Noton


France is such a diverse country that many holiday dreams can be realized here. Southern parts overlook the Mediterranean. Centuries-old wine houses continue to make Champagne and Chardonnay, their vineyards stretched-out across the hills. Luxury vacation rental in France could place guests in the midst of either setting, or even something different.

Numerous apartments, villas and houses dot the country, waiting for guests to make themselves at home. A lot of them possess their own antique charm. In spite of their age, these structures will offer modern facilities while also boasting enviable collections of art, even the ruins of ancient architecture. It is possible that your chosen temporary residence will draw attention from other curious visitors in the neighborhood.

A first holiday in France may lead one directly to Paris. This is, after all, home of the Louvre and the Eiffel tower. A couple or family could book an apartment close to public transportation, or within walking distance of many important buildings. After a day spent in awestruck wonder, cafes and chocolate shops offer refreshment for weary, hungry visitors.

Wherever your location, it is typical to find that technology has arrived. Guests often arrive in need of Wi-Fi connection and an iPod dock. Aside from these facilities there might be a business center with printer and fax machine, an entertainment room, and connection to international TV channels.

Being able to swim in a private pool is a huge benefit to anyone with children. Their energy can be worked-off outside rather than within doors, although rainy days have been considered. Book a chateau with its own playroom for the little ones. Beach holidays are also possible in France, especially anywhere close to the French Riviera. Establish yourselves within a short drive or even walking distance of warm water and golden sand.

Extensive grounds are kept by professional gardeners who are retained throughout your stay. They control the weeds and ensure walking paths around acres of land remain accessible as well as beautiful. Other staff one might find on-site include a maid, estate manager and pool keeper. Some of these can be hired for an extra fee while certain estates come equipped with a retinue of servants. Speaking French yourself is a benefit, but certain companies provide employees who speak other languages too.

Guests can expect lavish modern design and furnishings, including custom-made articles from Italy and overseas. Marble, hardwood and parquet frequently feature. Start a blazing fire in your fireplace, perhaps one of the many. Certain luxury villas come equipped with several, especially older homes which had to be heated in this way before furnaces were invented.

Wine and gourmet food are two topics frequently associated with French culture. If you book a French villas in France, expect to enjoy plenty of both. While one person wanders to the village for a bottle of Beaujolais, another could be established in one of two kitchens, either the gourmet kitchen or a more casual facility. Here all necessary tools will be at your disposal for creating a meal worthy of the fine home you chose as the base for an exquisite retreat.
