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.

Paris is the first city many foreigners think of in connection with France. They arrive excited to visit treasured monuments and museums such as the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre. An apartment provides central comforts within walking distance of many sites, while public transport opens-up options for exploration even further.

Many modern tourists will insist upon having access to wireless internet. This is a standard provision within luxury rentals whether they are located in the city or in the countryside. Even though foreign visitors come here to enjoy the charm of rolling countryside, ancient buildings, outdoor cafes, and vineyards, they need to stay connected so as to check airport departures, report to family back home, even stay in-touch with business clients. For those who take work with them, there are specific rentals featuring fax machines, printers, and scanners.

Swimming in a hotel pool is great, but having a private pool on your estate is even better. Ensure complete privacy and enjoy the heated water at your own convenience. Some estates possess two pools. Others also come with tennis and volleyball courts, mountain bikes and a climbing wall. Highly active groups should consider reserving a home that comes equipped for action. Swimming privately is convenient, but there are villas within walking-distance of the French Riviera as well. If you like meeting people, head to these warm waters.

If your property is surrounded by extensive landscaping, take time to walk around these grounds. Admire the plants, flowers and architectural additions such as statuary and fountains. A groundskeeper maintains these features, usually at no extra cost, so that your walks are lined with roses, not weeds. Other employees might be included in the cost of your stay or could be hired for an extra fee. These include a maid, estate manager and pool keeper.

Elements of interior design within an old luxury villas residence will include a mixture of antiques and modern pieces. These include imported, handmade furnishings. Marble sinks and hardwood floors are common. Internal glass doors will be of fine workmanship. Certain apartments and homes are fitted ready for disabled guests to gain access in all parts of the building.

If you are going to cook meals yourself, expect to do so in style. Some properties come with not just one but two kitchens. One of these will be the gourmet, full-service room filled with every tool for creating a culinary masterpiece. While one member of the party takes a turn as chef in a French villas rental in France, other members could be just outside playing tennis or volleyball on a private court.
