Villa

[paoloh]

Does anyone own a Villa they rent out?

Ideally sleeping 8 in say a 4 bed.

Private pool preferred but communal ok.

Close to nightlife but nice and quiet.

Anywhere in Europe considered.

I read somewhere Puggit has something, it was on his profile I think, let me do some digging...

try south of france, cote d'azur, holiday rentals are on their knees, winter rates apply in quite a few cases.

Thanks Missdiane (free weekend in November for you )

Sadly we don't have a pool - but do have a great lake with beach nearby.

Hi Chris,

What is the local area like?
Net access?

[Puggit]

Local area is very rural France. A lovely (PH-known) small town nearby with a few cracking restaurants (La Chartre sur le Loir)

The house has no phone, no internet and is hard to get a mobile signal (and staying that way). There is a cafe nearby (10km!) with free wifi.

The house is in the Loir valley - if you speak French this may help: http://www.loir-valley.com/bienvenue/

The Loire is nearby, so lots to see do. Chateaux and wine tasting top of the list.

Surrounding roads are stunning.

Rightio,

Sounds like a place to just lock yourself away from the world for a week??

Can you fish on that lake or is there good fishing nearby?

Roughly how long to drive there? Or best to fly?

It is extremely quiet, yes. I get antsy when 2 cars pass in an hour

You can either fish in the lake or the river which runs past. Licences are a handful of euros (bought in the local tabac). Carp is stocked in the lake.

3 hours from Le Havre, 2.5 from Caen, 5 hours-ish from Calais. We tend to take overnight ferries Portsmouth to Le Havre or Caen.

You can fly Stansted-Tours with RyanScare or it's around 3 hours from CDG (Orly easier). You can't take wine back then!

All sounds perfect for a week away with my parents.

Can you PM me available dates please?

Any PH discount?

[Puggit]

Mail sent

Sadly no discounts, even to friends and family - we're taking a big hit with the weak pound.

Not mine but were off to this one in August http://www.ownersdirect.co.uk/portugal/P5501.htm stayed in one round the corner in 2007 & the location is fantastic.
