Self catering holiday cottages, gites and villas in Vendee |
One of the best loved holiday destinations in France, the Vendee has a an enormous choice of self catering holiday accommodation and rental properties to suit all tastes and all budgets. Just a little inland from the busy coast you can find perfect holiday homes in quiet rural villages and still easily get to the coast, offering a great combination of a relaxing stay in a country spot and day's out to the the Vendee beaches for the children.
Whilst you can always find accommodation that is cheap... for a good level of quality you should count on spending between € 190 and € 270 (£160 to £230) per person per week in peak season. Prices in June and September will be typically reduced to 60% to 70% of these rates, so those without school-age children can get better value for money by choosing dates just outside the peak season. It's worth noting that the weather in June and early July is usually excellent and things are a little calmer in the tourist hot-spots. Early September has also had consistantly superb weather in recent years.

Strangely enough few people seem interested in saving more money on the price of their self catering accommodation by taking advantage of special offers and late bargains that many holiday property owners propose on remaining weeks. Perhaps people feel that if it's not already let there must be something wrong with it... This is obviously not necessarily the case and may be just the result of a late cancellation for example.
