With private pools, plenty of space to relax and the most scenic locations to discover on your doorstep, here’s our pick of some of the best value villas in France which offer the chance to have a holiday with a big group of friends or the whole family without breaking the bank.
Hameau d'Albi, South West France
8 bedrooms – sleeping up to 10 adults and 6 children
This is a rambling property in the South West of France. There are three different buildings with bedrooms, yet somehow it all works together. Set in rolling countryside, life moves at a slower pace here. This is the place to bring the whole family. The rooms are spread out between the main house, the guest house, and the pigeonnier. There are a number of quiet terraces around the house, perfect for reading a book with a glass of wine whilst the kids play in the large swimming pool.
Domaine de la Hille, South West France
8 bedrooms – sleeping up to 14 adults and 4 children
This property is steeped in history, and there are big rooms and tall ceilings throughout. You will rarely see a bedroom as spacious as the master suite. Domaine de la Hille has it all, from the tennis court to the big swimming pool to the immaculately maintained lawns and gardens. Guests can arrive by helicopter if they want, everything is organised and taken care of by the Domaine’s dedicated team of staff. Domaine de la Hille is perfect for family reunions or for one of life’s landmarks.
Domaine de Corbieres, South West France
8 bedrooms – sleeping up to 16 guests
Despite feeling splendidly isolated, Domaine de Corbieres is just an hour from the coast and a short hop from Carcassonne, one of the most visited cities in South West France. The estate is surrounded by rolling landscapes and forests with beautiful walks and an abundance of wildlife on the doorstep. After spending a day outdoors by the pool, hiking or horse riding, retreat to the villa’s cinema room to relax and enjoy a movie together. With so much space indoors and out, this villa is ideal for a large group gathering.
