The problem with choosing a villa or "gite" for your holiday is that unless you know the place you are often faced with a bit of a lottery - the description and photo in the brochure seldom tells you quite enough about the property or its setting, and does not prepare you for the place being dark/damp/facing a petrol station or next to the sewage works.
But www.purefrance.com is a website with plenty of info and photos to guide your choice. They also have a good selection of properties - my favourite being La Maison des Ecrivains (Writers) in Caux (34 Herault, Languedoc) - a small village in the middle of the Languedoc vineyards with an interesting medieval centre - the maison has vaulted ceilings, tons of original features - see www.purefrance.com
