I don't really care if it is in France or Italy or Spain.

A couple of friends have used villa plus

Thanks, can you believe it - that was the one I had just found. Looks nice, but all the ones I fancy are £££!
Now why don't I have friends with holiday homes to rent?

Do you def need a pool? The holiday home we have just stayed in on the Ile dÓleron (island close to La Rochelle) has had a cancellation for a week in August (owner emailed me a few days ago to see if I know of anyone who wanted it).
No pool but 10 mins from the beach and had a large garden. Not cheap as it can sleep up to 10 people (5 bedrooms) but a lovely house in a good location.

We found it on the ownersdirect website. Hope you find something!

forevercleaning · 02/07/2008 20:31

aznerak - your parents villa link has disappeared so cannot send them an e to get on the mailing list.
