With so many gites / holiday homes to rent in France how does someone choose a particular property?

Courtyard of Loire Valley house available for rent

With our property to rent here in the Loire Valley competing against so many others we rely on our advertising and the promotion of our region of France as the ideal area to spend a holiday, this and our 'hands on' approach with regards to planning we think sets us apart. Check out our guestbook here

We chose to live and work in the Centre-Val de Loire because, as a holiday destination, it is a very popular choice for discerning tourists as it offers such a diverse range of holiday options with regard to what to see and do.

We have many ‘world travellers’ choosing our cottage and some come to the Loire Valley after a visit to Paris or some other major European city so are pleased to find the houses equipped with washing machines which allow them to freshen-up before heading off to their next destination.

"The small village experience was great and made us feel part of the landscape rather than just passing tourists."

With 10 years of renting we have gained so many new friends that it has become less of a job and more a series of pleasant experiences. Yes, we have to work hard, as there is a standard to maintain, but knowing that we have helped make our guests’ holidays as enjoyable as possible is what drives us. 



One of the aspects that pleases us most is the number of returning guests we get. The 'Old Walnut Mill' has another guest returning for a fifth visit to Barrou- we must be doing something right!
