Rental Wanted in France

April 9, 2008

It has been a frustrating month (year, life ?) - property prices seem to be all over the place but people are still coming on vacation and I am told bookings are good.

I am having a lot of delays in getting my new websites moving and creating more demand for bookings - this is all part of a much larger plan to create a strong community for everyone who wants to change their life, from a few days on vacation to aq lifetime - my aim is to offer many important things through a new website community - not just vacation rentals, but housing, employment, careers, friendship and other opportunities and services.

I have a lady looking for a long term rental in the southern “third” of France for up to a year or longer. Here is her request…

>>>
My requirements are:
Budget would be up to 850 euro a month. For that I would expect the property to be furnished (Crockery, cutlery, glasswear and linen need not be included) All kitchen appliances and large furniture would be required.

House or apartment, but if it is an apartment I would want some outside area - small garden or at least a courtyard. It could be something attached to a larger house. Or in a group of houses.
Maison de Ville or out in the country if it has some close-ish neighbours. I don’t mind being on my own, but complete isolation might be a bit lonely.

Would want to be in the Southern third of the country, more East than West if I have a choice.
Bright, comfortable sejour (I’ve seen some dark, pokey places which would be miserable in the Winter months!)
Two bedrooms, minimum and two bathrooms would be nice, but probably not possible. Maybe an additional toilet.

Garage or parking area. Chauffage central, with a woodburner or fireplace.

I would like to be in an attractive area. I don’t find this area particularly attractive - it is too flat. Hilly or rolling countryside is much more appealing to me.

ADSL or WI-FI would be super.
Would want a year long lease in the first instance with possibly an option to renew, but six months to start would be fine??
