The Hubby and I are big fans of renting a house for a week in a pretty village, where we can come and go as we please, eat in local restaurants or cook up fresh produce from the market and – if the weather turns to rain – we’re not confined to a single hotel room.  It’s the sort of holiday that comes with no airs and graces – we don’t need throbbing nightlife for this week (or ever really) and are much happier spending time together and completely unplugging from our normal lives.  However, finding a rental property that’s stylish, well equipped, beautifully located and well-priced isn’t easy, even for a travel planner!
