Houses to rent in Saône-et-Loire are the most popular type of holiday rentals and four bedroom properties seems to be most in demand.
Whilst researching this website I came across a 400 year old house with a private pool on the edge of a small village. With magnificent views over the countryside, the house has been renovated to include a mixture of modern and traditional features. With 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, the house is big enough to accommodate up to 8 people.
Other Saône-et-Loire houses to rent I spotted include a 4 bedroom converted barn with a private heated swimming pool and poolhouse with barbeque and dining area. Inside the house, the accommodation is magnificent, with a large, high ceilinged, castle-like living and dining area of 60 square metres. The garden has an amazing view of a 12th century Romanesque church.
