Villa Edith

This luxurious 5 bed villa should come as parental prescription for the frazzled and overwrought! It’s time to swap the school run, dreary weather and busy streets for a spot of rest and relaxation surrounded by lush lawned gardens, a private pool (no plastic sun loungers in sight!) and a sublime country view.

Villa Edith has been a labour of love by the Karl and Deanna who transformed the country house into something of a dream home perfectly catering for tots and grown-ups alike, calling on their own experiences, with three young boys of their own, along the way. It sleeps 10 and is ideal for a large family holiday or a group of friends looking to getaway in style without sacrificing comfort for their tots. High quality linens, huge comfy beds and elegant antique furnishings come hand in hand with a wealth of baby gear, play equipment and family friendly extras including British TV, Wi-Fi and vast DVD library.

Day to day life stresses melt away as parents take to the terrace to soak in the views with a glass of Bordeaux's finest and mini guests roam happily between the trampoline, sand pit and swing, wearing themselves out ready for a good, long sleep. Grown-ups are left to sit back, take in the sunset and enjoy some rare, uninterrupted adult conversation!
