About Our Accommodation

Villas and Cottages

A villa or cottage holiday can be the best way of relaxing and enjoying the delights of France. Get away from it all in your own private property, and immerse yourself in the local way of life. Choose from our select range of villas and you are guaranteed maximum comfort and excellent facilities, with your own private swimming pool.

Villas with pools - Using our expertise and fine eye for detail we have found some superb villas in some of the most beautiful regions of France. We offer a hand picked choice of villas, all with private pools. Whichever one you choose, it offers the opportunity to relax as never before. And, because we know France so well, the destinations we select are unbeatable. Indeed, we believe that the location is just as important as the property itself. Choose from villas in some of the most beautiful regions of France including Brittany, Dordogne, Provence, Riviera and also Corsica.

The finest selection - We have the finest selection of villas with private pools in France. There really is something to suit everyone - whether a couple, a family or a group of friends. They vary from the modern, built to the highest specification, to old farmhouses and manor houses tastefully converted. And, of course, all have their own private swimming pools.

Cottages - We have carefully selected properties as varied as France itself. They range from manor houses to mountain chalets and bijou hideaways to large country cottages in some of the finest coastal and country locations.

Cottages with pools - Many of our cottages have their own swimming pool. Those with a private pool offer great value for money, providing comfortable accommodation (though not as luxurious as our villas) at excellent prices. Cottages with shared pools offer access to a pool (shared with either the owner or normally just one or two other holiday properties) at even lower prices than a private pool.

Apartments

An apartment holiday offers the flexibility of doing what you want, when you want, in a setting where friendships can easily be formed by young and old alike. We have carefully selected accommodation close to some of the best beaches, the finest resorts and some of Europe's most stunning scenery. Superb facilities include pools, sports and activities for adults and children alike. Choose from lively resorts with everything close at hand to quieter residences. In addition, we offer the ever-popular Center Parcs, with the unique subtropical water paradise, the perfect location for a holiday, any time of the year.

Camping

Experience the freedom and independence of al fresco living, set amid superb locations. All our hand-picked campsites have superb swimming pools and a range of first class facilities.

Complete flexibility - At French Life we offer you the complete flexibility of arriving at the campsite any day of the week and staying as long as you like.

Free extra week - Arrive at your campsite before 20th May or after 30th August, book and pay for a minimum of 12 nights* and get up to 7 extra nights free! *Minimum 14 nights on some campsites.

Free Kids' Club - At French Life we understand the importance of keeping kids entertained on holiday. That's why at most of our campsites we offer a free kids' club - which gives you the opportunity to relax a bit more yourself.

The best accommodation at affordable prices - We offer the best quality campsite accommodation available at the very best prices, bar none. We believe our modern range of accommodation is not only as good as our competitors - but better. Plus, we have the lowest prices available, backed up by our Price Match Guarantee.

Regular mobile homes All of our regular mobile homes sleep up to six people and comprise a centre lounge/ dining area, kitchen area, two bedrooms (a double and a twin bedroom), and shower room with wc or separate wc. The lounge/ dining area converts to create the additional sleeping accommodation. The size of mobile homes may vary - check the campsite description for the floor area.

Cottage style mobile homes These spacious new-look mobile homes are very popular, and are now a large part of our mobile home fleet. They offer all the comforts of a traditional mobile home and have a well-designed layout with more spacious bedrooms, galley kitchen, combined centre lounge/dining area and shower room with separate wc. The size of cottage style mobile homes may vary - check the campsite description for the floor area. Due to strong demand we have added even larger cottage mobile homes with three bedrooms - an ideal choice for larger families or for those who want a little more space.

Chalets Our chalet accommodation has proved very popular since it was introduced. We are therefore continuing to increase the number of campsites where we offer this type of accommodation. Built and equipped to a high standard they offer an excellent and spacious alternative and have the same minimum standards as the mobile homes.

Chalet tents Our spacious chalet tents provide everything you need for an 'al fresco' holiday in a spacious tent for up to six people:

• Large living area with dining table and chairs
• Kitchen area with full size electric fridge
• 4 ring burner with grill and storage shelves
• Three bedrooms, all with sprung beds, one with a double bed and hanging wardrobe
• Cutlery, crockery, kitchen utensils and electric lights
• Two sun-loungers and parasol.

The five most frequently asked questions

1. How do I price my holiday? Prices are per accommodation for the first two adults. All additional children stay free. Extra adults pay £80. Prices are based on arrival date and accommodation type and for the length of stay. Prices include a return short sea ferry crossing for one standard car. Prices include gas, water, electricity and local taxes.
2. What is the arrival day? On most campsites we offer the flexibility of arriving any day for any duration. These are accounted into the search process.
3. Is bed linen provided? Blankets and pillows are provided in mobile homes and chalets, but you should take your own sheets, pillowcases, bath, beach and tea towels. You may also wish to take extra blankets for those cooler nights early and late season. For tents you should take your own pillows and pillowcases, sheets, sleeping bags, blankets or duvets, as well as bath, beach and tea towels.
4. How spacious is my accommodation? The layout of all our accommodation has been planned to be as practical and effective as possible. All of our chalet tents are one standard size. However our mobile homes and chalets do vary in size. To help you select the accommodation of your choice, the floor space for all of our accommodation is given in square metres in the property details. (The figure is approximate.)
5. How does the star rating work? The star rating of campsites is from the latest list received. The official star ratings only reflect the ratio of facilities to pitches, not the location or maintenance of the campsite. At Camping Life, we take into account a much wider range of factors when selecting campsites such as location, overall management of the site and ambience.
