Between the cities of Laon and Soissons, in the quiet village of Lizy, this country home invites you to experience the charming woodlands and striking chateaus of the French countryside. 

Spend your days in the garden enjoying the fruits of the orchard and castle views – the outdoor sofa is the perfect place to relax and enjoy your surroundings. When you feel like exploring, there are six bikes available which are perfect for cycling through the forest or paying a trip to the village to pick up some local ingredients to cook on the barbecue. For a change of pace, take a drive to one of the nearby towns, where you can discover ancient architecture, wine shops and cafes. 

This home puts family time front and centre, with garden games and even a ping pong table on offer. When night falls, head indoors to cuddle up around the wood burner, or take a relaxing soak in the bath.

Castle & Orchard 

If the words ‘Black Forest’ only conjure up images of a cherry-topped chocolate gateau, then you’re missing out. It’s also a pine-covered mountain region in southwest Germany where you’ll find this inviting bungalow, with its beamed ceilings and sloping roof. There’s a delicious warmth to the home, from the dark kitchen units to the cinnamon-sweet feature wall and coffee-coloured furnishings. Glass sliding doors open out onto the garden, where you can really appreciate the peaceful location, surrounded by fields. Spend sunny days barbecuing out here and colder evenings with a blanket on your lap and a hot cup of cocoa in hand. Just a few minutes drive to the banks of the Rhein, as well as a swimming lake, you're in luck if you like the water as much as the forests.

Tastes Like Chocolate

This modern home is located in Westhalten, in the Alsace region of northeast France. We think it's great for families and friend groups, and it's ideal for those looking for a tranquil getaway. Two kitchens, dining rooms, and living areas mean plenty of space – at full capacity though, four guests will sleep on sofa beds, so if you're planning on spending a lot of time indoors things might end up feeling a little crowded. The location of this home lends itself well to exploring the local area by car, including the Alsace towns of Rouffach and Guebwiller.

Silver & Wood

Indulge in the height of luxury at this chateau, consisting of five historical buildings. Fortified by medieval walls, the buildings centre around a gorgeous courtyard. Brimming with amenities indoors and out, you'll have your pick of the private pool, landscaped gardens, and alfresco dining with breathtaking views of Yonne Valley. Bikes can also be provided for exploring the surrounding area, including the charming town of Mailly-le-Château with its beautiful scenery and the winding Yonne River. Indoors, you'll find a games room and a cinema room in the main house. To further elevate your stay, your host can arrange additional services from a gourmet dining experience to extra housekeeping.

The Mailly

Located near Disneyland Paris (just over a thirty-minute walk or ten-minute drive) – this modern home is ideal for a family to enjoy. There's two Disney Parks, as well as a golf course and Disney Village to discover. If you want to explore the City of Light – it's just over a ten-minute walk to Val d'Europe station, on the RER A-line, with a forty-minute ride into the centre of Paris. There are plenty of shops and restaurants nearby too. Back at this home. Relax on the lovely sunny and secluded terrace with a cup of coffee or unwind on the turquoise sofa in the bright living space. Later whip up a cassoulet in the kitchen and enjoy a family meal at your dining table. After a busy day, unwind in the bath or have evening drinks on the patio before starting another exciting day.

Mickey

Just metres from the shore of Lac Bouzey, this charming two-bedroom cabin offers an idyllic family-friendly gateway to the low-lying mountains of the Vosges in eastern France.

Its open-plan interior is light and airy thanks to south-facing sliding doors with picturesque lake views and easy access to a private deck. It is equipped with an outdoor dining set and an indulgent Jacuzzi for relaxing out in nature. Back inside, the kitchen is kitted out with everything you need to fry up family feasts, while the two bedrooms are decorated in soothing blue and lavender tones – mirroring the colours of the lake's summer season.

Lovers of the great outdoors will appreciate the opportunity to get out on the water on a sailboat or paddleboard, supervised swimming over the summer months and plenty of hiking and biking trails through the surrounding countryside. 

The cabin is located on the outskirts of the quiet commune of Sanchey and a short drive from the historic, leafy town of Épinal. We'd suggest parking up and exploring its pretty central square, magical old quarter and medieval ruins on foot before heading further east to the breathtaking Ballon des Vosges.

And Away

Perched in the heart of historic Colmar, this convenient apartment offers convenience and practicality to a group of guests looking to socialise and soak up the city in harmony. With an open-concept kitchen, dining and living area, the whole crew can come together over homemade meals or simple aperitifs with ample room to relax – don't forget to pick up a few bottles of your preferred Alsatian wine while you're out and about. Oh, and some cheese to go with it. 

After fun-filled days of soaking up the city's picturesque architecture, delicious eateries, and an endless array of boutiques, the serene bedrooms invite you to enjoy a quality night's sleep in preparation for the next day's adventures. So what are you waiting for? Pack some comfy walking shoes and get ready to feel like you've landed in a fairytale dreamland. 




Old Town Muse 

Nestled among Sancerre's rolling vineyards and scenic countryside, this 19th-century castle is truly a one-of-a-kind stay. Though your host has preserved the château's stunning character features, it's anything but old-fashioned. You can work in the wood-panelled library, sip cocktails by the fire in one of the four drawing rooms, or climb the twisting stairs to one of the sumptuous bedrooms for some much-needed R&R. Outside, you'll have three hectares of gardens to explore, offering everything from a wood-fired hot tub, sauna, and fitness room to a heated swimming pool – not to mention many picturesque trails leading through the woodlands. With a live-in concierge on hand to arrange wine tastings and other extras, an unforgettable holiday awaits.

Sauvignon Vines

This expansive house is a natural paradise for hikers, mountain bikers and horse riders. Situated in the heart of the Ardenne Forest, the inspiring scenery is dream location for any of you who feel at home in the great outdoors. 

Ride your stallion through the exotic gardens, decorated in unique plant life and ancient trees. Or if you prefer two legs instead of four, embark on a hike across the undulating hillside. To really test your athleticism, the diverse mountain range gets the adrenaline flowing for mountain biking. It's your personal oasis of wholesome activities.

Of course, after all that exercise, you want a peaceful haven where you can relax. The luxurious retreat provides unbridled comfort in every room – relax in front of the cosy fireplace in the dining room or taste some local meats on the outdoor BBQ. 

For an activity somewhere in between mountain biking and chilling on the sofa, the outdoor grounds comprise tennis courts, badminton courts and a boules pitch. This inviting house allows you to settle into whatever vibe you want.



Au Naturale

So constant is this home’s beauty, you can visit summer or winter and be bowled over by the views on offer from the balcony. In winter, when the Vosges Massif is capped in white and the snow lies in wait at the La Bresse-Hohneck ski resort, you can wrap up warm and enjoy a steaming cup of cacao as you gaze out over the blanketed town below. And it’s even more beautiful at sunset, when the orange glow of lights bathes it all in a fairytale glow. Although some of the winter wonderland atmosphere might evaporate as the warmer weather starts to melt the snow, the vibrant green beauty it leaves in its wake is still a sight to behold. 

When you’re not dining alfresco simply to get another look at that view, you can cosy up in the small living room to spend family movie night together, or opt for a bit of quiet time as you get in bed early with a good romance novel. 

With a free shuttle to and from La Bresse-Hohneck, you can get on the piste as early as you’d like and practice on the slopes until your limbs are in need of a hot shower. After, when you’ve sufficiently warmed up, you can have a après-ski drink on the balcony before switching on the fondue machine for a night of cheesy goodness around the dining table. 

Town centre is only a ten minute walk away, so it’s easy to stock up on whatever you need at the bakery, pharmacy, and shop.

Firefly Peak

We love this charming single-level holiday home because it encompasses the best of both worlds. Though it is situated near Nancy's centre, allowing guests to make the most of the varied shopping, dining, and cultural offerings therein, it also feels tranquil and secluded – due in part to the small wooded area at the rear of the property. There you will also find a seating area perfect for long summer evenings spent in the company of friends and family. 

While the home's exteriors have a traditional French aesthetic typical of the Alsace-Lorraine area, step inside and you'll find cool and versatile interiors – think funky furniture, design-forward wallpaper, and quirky artwork adorning the walls. One of our favourite features has got to be the sleek shower rooms. Finished in a chic floor-to-ceiling grey marble, lending the room an upscale if somewhat trendy industrial feel, this space is perfect for a bit of pampering before a day – or an evening – spent exploring the highlights of Nancy.

From the Palais Ducal with its archetypal fairytale vibes to the beautifully ornate Basilique Saint-Epvre or the popular Parc de la Pépinière and its fragrant rose garden, not to mention the wealth of cultural attractions including the National Opera and the Fine Arts Museum, there is so much to fall in love with in and around the historic centre of this city. Best of all, it’s all within easy reach, thanks to the excellent transport links around this home.

The Deer Lodge

Winter, Summer, Autumn, or Spring, this gorgeous holiday home – constructed using timber and so lending the building an authentic Alpine feel – is a great choice at any time of year. 

Luxuriate in the wide open spaces of its wood-clad interior, or step outside to the beautiful balcony and take in the ever-changing view of the picturesque valley below – a view that shifts and alters as do the seasons, from the iridescent greens of the summer months to the blazing ambers of autumn and, of course, the pristine, glistening whites of the snow during ski season.

Nestled in La Bresse, an area of the Hautes Vosges, the surrounding area offers a range of activities throughout the year, including more than 250 kilometres of marked walking trails and 200 kilometres of mountain bike tracks. There is also fantastic fishing (as well as spectacular scenery) to be enjoyed at the stunning Lac des Corbeaux. 

For those with a taste for adventure, then the Bol D'Air Aventure Parc is calling, offering thrill-seekers the chance to try their hand at everything from paragliding to bungee jumping and summer sledging. The storybook villages and world-renowned vineyards of Alsace are reachable within about an hour by car too. 

In winter, snow bunnies can make the most of three downhill slopes in the area, including La Bresse-Hohneck just a ten-minute drive from the apartment. The two other smaller resorts of Lispach with six runs, and Brabant, offering three, also welcome visitors during the season. For cross-country skiing, the Lispach Nordic Area boasts 50 kilometres of runs for all abilities, as well as snowshoeing circuits, an international biathlon stadium, a floodlit track, sledging slopes, and an ice rink.

With all that action and adventure on offer, it's just as well that at the end of a day spent making unforgettable memories, you can retreat to the comfort and serenity of your apartment. Make sure to recharge and refuel with a hearty meal of local specialities, which includes a selection of hearty pies, rich and flavourful meat dishes, as well as decadently creamy cheese offerings from local dairies.
