Rent from owners direct in France

Kim and I decided to turn our passion for weekends away and visiting new places into running our rental properties in Lanzarote, which we've had for 5 years now and France, which we've just purchased. We love the Aquitaine region of France, the space and fresh air and a swimming pool helps too! Our goal is to provide everything we would expect ourselves, exceptional quality and memories to cherish.

Maïa, a former tourguide and her husband Frédéric have escaped from a more hectic life in Paris to the peaceful Loire countryside. They are experts at looking after you and they are just next door, discreets but always on hand if you need them.

Elly and I are a married couple who met many years ago travelling through Vietnam when Vietnam was not yet opened to the world. We fell in love and Steve moved from Australia to Amsterdam. After several years we moved back to Australia and for a time lived between Melbourne and Roussillon. We love travel, adventures and animals. We also run a small tour company in France, plus we own a small Brocante. Elly speaks several languages, Steve, well working on that, a bit of Dutch and French!

We have owned this three bedroom apartment in Cannes for nearly ten years. Our favourite thing about the apartment is its location in the centre of Cannes, but still only a five minute walk to the beach and to La Croisette. I first visited Cannes in my early teens with my parents and have always been attracted to the city.

There have been many refurbishments since we bought Chateau de Lamostonie in 2007. For example, each double bedroom has been furnished with an en-suite bathroom, the entrance hall has been opened up, and the old wooden staircase replaced with majestic stone. Located between the river Dordogne (to the North) and Lot (to the South) Chateau de Lamostonie offers many sightseeing opportunities, such as Rocamadour, Sarlat, Saint-Cirq-Lapopie, the pont Valentre at Cahors, and some spectacular caves with underground rivers and prehistoric paintings. The tennis court, swimming pool and barbecue, however, keep us from wanting to be anywhere else during the summer months. We hope you will enjoy being at Lamostonie as much as we do.

Our only focus is to make sure you have the absolute best time at Haute Vue.

We bought the house in 2005 after renting it from the previous owners for many years. About 25 years ago we rented for the first time in Valbonne and instantly fell in love with the house, the space, the beautiful view from the terrace, the charming village of Valbonne and the tranquility of Domaine Val d’Azur. In 2005 (we had rented the house now or 5 times) we were called by the previous owners that they wanted to sell the villa. After the shock about this came the idea to buy the house, after all, such a beautiful house in such a beautiful location does not pass by quickly and we knew the house through and through. We are very careful with our property and hope that you will also enjoy our home just as we have always done. We wish you a fantastic holiday, with lots of sun, swimming and enjoying all the good of the Provence in the South of France has to offer.

We are Belinda and Lee and we bought the charming medieval Chateau Mareuil in April 2015. We are totally in love with France and all things French and therefore our passion is now our business!

Geoffrey has a 3 bedroom house with private pool in Cézac, France.

Francois has a 2 bedroom apartment in Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, France.

We, Ruud and Arna, are a couple in our sixties and own this small estate since 2007. We fell in love with this region for its tranquility, space and pure air. Still, there is lots to see and do. Restaurants, vinyards, castles and other historical landmarks, rugby (Ruud) and yoga (Arna). Going out to explore everything our area has to offer and return to sit in the sun or shade with a good book and a glass of wine.... Bliss!!

I moved to France from the UK with my family in June 2022. We renovated a property for a year to let out as holiday accommodation and we opened the property in May 2024. I have been in the hospitality industry all my life and before moving to France, my husband and I owned and operated an award winning Restaurant with Rooms in Scotland, were we had been for 16 years.
