The Smart Solution for the School Holidays
Dream villas with pools, value for money, plenty of babysitters and an instant social scene make holidays with extended families and friends the smart choice for the peak summer season.
The average family of four might think a fabulous French château will be way beyond the budget, but amazingly it could cost little more than a humble mobile home!* By simply inviting the grandparents and a few family friends, the price can tumble to below £340 per person per week, even in the prime school holidays of July and August.
Anglo French Properties offers a handpicked selection of exceptional villas, country houses and châteaux, of which the majority accommodate 10 or more in the lap of luxury. All the properties are located in the most reliably sunny regions of South West France, Provence and the Côte d’Azur, set in a large garden and grounds with a private swimming pool. All the rental prices also include a cleaner, normally two or three times a week and a chef can be arranged to be paid for locally.
Châteaux Marcoux, in the idyllic Quercy region of South West France, has been transformed from a 12th century hill top fortress into a stunning, 4-bedroom manor house with a 1-bedroom annexe and self-contained, 1-bedroom ‘pigeonnier’.
