The following villas in France are still available for two weeks in the 2007 UK summer school holidays.
Availability is of course at the time of post:
Villa Camino, Vence: walking distance to restaurants, recently refurbished with good home entertainment equipment. Available all dates after 21 July.
Villa Clarté, Vallauris: stunning sea views and accommodation in two separate houses. Available until 21 July and after 11 August.
Les Oliviers, near Speracedes: a nice stone house with garden in dramatic hilly countryside near Grasse,
available 16-30 August.
Le Chateau, near St Paul: a real 16th Century village Chateau. You can hear the church bell of St Paul.
Chene Vert, near Cabris: recently restored stone Mas in superb location with stunning views. Available 22 July to 4 August.
When planning your next vacation, consider a trip to the French
Riviera. Although it’s famous for being a playground for the jet set,
its miles of white sandy beaches, and gourmet food that is as much of a
treat for the eyes as it is for the palette, the French Riviera has
much more to offer. (more…)
Some useful advice for villa owners: we agree with most points. An owner having a good manager to look after pool, garden etc when they aren’t there is absolutely crucial in the holiday villa letting market.
Le Chateau is a charming and very well-furnished holiday house near the charming village of St Paul de Vence (you can hear the church bell), surrounded by some of the most beautiful countryside in the South of France. The private swimming pool is 10m x 5m and there is maid service 3 days per week. A house of real architectural merit, quite unlike the many samish villas that line the Riviera and very well located for restaurants and supermarkets. Air conditioning, satellite tv, alarm, security gates. £4600 per week, available all weeks in July.
New villa owners who come to us do so for two reasons: firstly they don’t know how to market their house, and secondly, they worry about damage to their house. Agents can help with both of those things to some extent, but are they worth the commission? The answer is it depends. (more…)
