Product Description

Like other Sawday guides, this book is about people, for it is the people who mould the amazing houses in which you'll stay, and whose characters, eccentricities and generosity will make your holiday special. There's a huge variety to chose from, from tiny pigeonniers and medieval watch-towers for two, to sumptuous châteaux (one with a four-poster bath!), and water mills where running rivers will lull you to sleep. There are stone farmhouses where you can walk out of the front door and into the mountains, village houses tucked under the ramparts, and chic city apartments from where you can stroll to some of France's finest restaurants. Whatever you are looking for, more likely than not it will be within these pages.

Synopsis
You can trust this guide, as each place has been carefully selected and visited we choose only those places that we find special. Honest descriptions enable readers to choose a holiday home that is perfect for them. Clear maps, helpful symbols and quick reference indices are an added bonus. Our approach is unusual and subjective. There are no set rules, no interminable checklists and no hard and fast criteria for inclusion. We look for what we like, and celebrate the unusual, the beautiful and the individual.

From the Inside Flap
Vast or small - we have ski chaletsand sumptuous châteaux, a pigeonnier, an old convent, a bakery, a 30s Riviera villa...

We have visited every entry and write our own prose. Each place is here because we like it and many cost under €150 per person per week

Imagine... roll-topped baths, open fires, saltwater pools, local markets, fresh mussels, family dinner in the orchard. And, sometimes, meals cooked just for you

These places take special care of people, and we try to take care of the environment - with 'green' and social policies, and an eco-office

Another great edition...
Yet another great book from the Sawday team. I have used the old edition with great success, and look forward to using the new one very soon. It is great to see the new additions in the new edition, it only makes picking a place to stay that bit harder! Well worth picking up if you're looking for a place that will make your holiday special, and not having to break the bank in the process. I have used these guides in Italy, France and England in the past, and no complaints, nothing but praise in fact! Enjoy...
