Locating A Suitable Holiday Rental Home France

By Raymond Allen


These days rather than stay in hotels or guest houses many people choose to rent a property for their vacation. If you are planning to visit Europe a holiday rental home france is a great way to spend a well deserved break. This way of living is much more flexible than a hotel stay where guests are tied to specific meal times and activities.

As with any type of rental the cost will vary according to where the property is located, how many it sleeps and what amenities are offered. The range of properties on offer is huge, from a little one bedroom flat to a grand villa for a large number of guests. After deciding on which region to stay in some other things need to be taken into account prior to booking.

If you are looking for an active or sporty holiday, a lot of homes are near to rivers, mountains, forests and golf courses. Renting a place in the south of France or in the major cities will usually be more costly than one in more remote villages. Some of the lettings are fully serviced with staff and have everything needed for a comfortable stay.

After working out what type of accommodation is needed, some time should be spent pricing things and working out a budget. One room studio flats can be found for approximately forty dollars a night and a slightly larger 2 to 3 bed cottage or house for just over a hundred. When you are looking for accommodation in the capital city these prices can be doubled at least.

For those with a larger budget there are some very grand and luxurious holiday lets available starting from around ten thousand dollars a night. Featuring items such as bars, high end electrical goods, Jacuzzi pools, furnished to a very high standard and boasting the latest technology, these properties are very desirable.

When looking around for somewhere to spend a holiday, the internet is a good place to start with thousands of properties advertised. Most of these sites will feature photographs of the accommodation accompanied by reviews from past guests. Some of the private owners who offer rentals also provide a telephone contact number so the potential guest can discuss their needs and ask any questions not answered on the advert.

Having decided on a holiday rental it is advisable to contact the owners or managing agents and check what is included in the price. Water and electricity is often charged separately and this needs to be factored in to the final cost of the break and things such as telephones and WiFi are also billed according to use. It is also worth finding out details such as how far away are the supermarket and medical facilities in case they are needed.

The last thing to be thought about is holiday insurance and if it is part of the rental or to be sourced separately. Nearly all agents and owners will ask for a deposit in the event of any damage or breakages which is then returned when the guests are due to leave if everything is in order. Also as these are not package holidays, transfers to and from the points of arrival and departure may need to be arranged.
