Christmas Villa Discounts Below
Having your own luxury large house to rent for Christmas is a wonderful memory for the family. Imagine spending a warm Christmas day by the roaring log fire, as all the children, young and old, open their presents together. Plenty of love, plenty of laughter.
Outside you can look out over acres of frosty (sometimes snowy) fields. There might be wild deer scattering out of the fruit orchard, and some occasional bird flies by.
Your Private Villa For Christmas
This is exactly what you can expect here at this luxury large house to rent for Christmas New Year and more, for large families and large groups.
This is what happens every year.
Either when we (owners, Duncan, Esther) are here ourselves, with our family – kids and adult siblings – for the Christmas holiday, or if guests have rented it that year for their Christmas getaway and New Year’s eve.
Winter walks, good wine and snuggling up to a wood fire. And probably too much great food, cheese and wine! Forget the stress!
Who Knew Christmas Villas Could Be This Good?

Escape…

Exclusive Christmas Dinner
Christmas dinner in your own Christmas cottage is the focal point of your festive season villa holidays, so it is vital that you know you will be well provisioned, in terms of food, equipment and self catering facilities.
Self Catering Villa Holiday

The main kitchen at the villa is an open country kitchen style area, with plenty of room to maneuver, with a Range Master oven system, and all utensils, cutlery and crockery provided, including all labour-saving devices such as mixers, blenders, mixing wand, pans etc. There is also a walk-in Pantry room adjacent, with additional oak work-surfaces to prepare your sumptuous meal.
Festive Season Fun
Christmas Holiday Decorations Package
We have a huge amount of Christmas decorations that you can put up around the house if you wish. This includes 2 big reindeer (1 meter high), garlands, lights and balls.
You can have Ali, our lovely friend who helps run the property, put the decorations in place for you and take them down after your stay, if you like.
We can put these decorations all around, on the walls, the central fireplace and on some furniture. This is your villa for the holiday season.
We can also offer you a Christmas tree felled in our own pine forest on the property. It will be a tree, larger than perhaps you’re used to back home, set up in the banquet hall, so you can put your Christmas and New Year’s Eve gifts there.

The Christmas Tree

If you want the decorations bundle installed and removed for you, including a Christmas tree installed and decorated for you, it’s only £250.
Winter Sun Villa Holidays Together

This spacious luxury villa in the Dordogne is a great place to spend the perfect Advent.
Winter Warmth
We have a large amount of chopped wood that you can use for the log fire in the banquet hall. It is wonderful to spend the festive period huddled around a big open fire, blasting out the heat. It is a massive log burner, that you can choose to have the door open or closed, for an open fire.
The Banquet Hall features cosy underfloor heating which gives off a comfortable warmth all around you for Advent. The central fireplace also means you can add warmth with a log burner. Once it is lit and the underfloor heating is on, it is a pleasant warmer winter for you, your friends and family. Complete relaxation!
One of the bedrooms also has a fireplace where a wood fire can heat the room.
Exclusive Luxury Bedrooms
All five bedrooms are very spacious and luxurious for all the family. We have four poster beds, kingsize bed and super-kingsize beds in each.
Christmas Villa Holidays

Three of the bedrooms have their own ensuite bathroom, including the Master bedroom upstairs, which also has its own oak balcony, stepping out and overlooking the Banquet Hall.

Two of the bedrooms have 2 double beds in, so can sleep up to 4 people per room, which makes it quite family friendly. The downstairs room with these 2 double beds is often used for all the kids of multiple families, or for all of one family to stay together.
All bathrooms have a shower; some have a bath as well.

Also within walking distance is our other woods, tucked away, where you and the little ones can explore, being surrounded by nature and rustic wildlife, in this perfect setting.
You can enjoy 26 acres of land around the villa surroundings – of grassland fields, gorgeous woods and lakes for you to relax, take in the breathtaking views, get some winter sun in the outdoor space. You can go hiking and get off the beaten track on many of the country paths around. There is a beautiful path beyond the house within easy reach, to the stream which is less than a mile away, which is a haven of tranquility.
