Luxury travellers seek a variety of things but two things stand out – location and experience. Talking about location. Did you know that France is a top destination for luxury holidays?
In this article I will provide information about an agency specializing in holiday luxury villas and chateaux and how to plan a luxury holiday. Yes, sometimes we need the help of professionals to make it an unforgettable experience!
A special request in planning a luxury family holiday.
A couple of weeks ago a reader asked me to give advice regarding a luxury holiday in either Brittany or Normandy. She had no idea where to look or how to plan for this holiday.
There case was different because they had elderly people in the group who cannot walk very far and special requirements. They were adamant – a beach villa france rental with a view. She forwarded me a list of requirements.
How to choose a luxury destination and accommodation?
I thought the request was not too difficult and with the help of Google, I quickly found a wide variety of beautiful properties. As I started to work through the property descriptions, I quickly realized that half of the requirements are either not met or I cannot get a proper answer.
Eventually I got in contact with an agency that specializes in luxury holiday accommodations. There help was invaluable, especially in light of the list of the special requirements. Properties are handpicked and have been personally visited by the agency. In no time we had a short list and I put Danielle in contact with the agency.
Normandy and Brittany as holiday destinations.
France is one of those special destinations where you can choose your own adventure. If you are looking for good fresh air, then I recommend Brittany. Life here is laid-back and the food good. Brittany is a major oyster producer in Europe. Try some! Don’t forget to visit the fishing villages, mystical lakes and medieval castles.
Normandy on the other hand is full of surprises. Miles and miles of fertile land and orchards, chalky cliffs and beautiful seaside resorts awaits. It is a treasure trove of history. William the Conqueror was born here. Joan of Arc died at the stake and who can forget the Allied invasion during World War II?
Tip: Why not splurge and rent a luxury car? Nothing feels more luxurious than driving around in a flashy sports car.
