Farm house Victoria, Czech Republic, Vysočina


This farm house is a place to rent for a family or even a larger group of people in the beautiful, remote countryside of Vysočina (the Highlands) in the Czech Republic. It was recommended to us by the Stupka family who now live close by in Velka Lhota. If you drive from Prague, it might take about 2 and half hours to get there but it is worth it. The farm house is located directly in the small village of Sumrakov, which is close to Telč, Dačice, Jindřichův Hradec...and not far from Austria. The farm house is a typical Czech historical chalupa but it was completely and very tastefully redone. There are two apartments in the cottage which can be rented out separately or together. The one we stayed in sleeps 4-5 people, it is one room with kitchen area, shower and WC. The other apartment is bigger and has separate bedrooms. In the winter it is heated with wood in big stoves - you heat for yourself, which is fun. The owners are a nice family with three girls who live in the cottage next door, so you have the whole property to yourself.

France, Mas de Sudre, near Gaillac

Mas de Sudre is a house we rented in summer 2007. There is a main house with BaB where the owners (a British couple) live and right opposite is the house for rent. The whole place is on the top of a hill about 5 km outside of Gaillac, a small town near Albi in Midi-Pyrenees. Both houses are surrounded by a large garden (very beautiful) and there is a nice long pool (13m) and a tennis court. The accommodation possibilities range from 6 up to 10 people. The kitchen has a fire place and everything is well equipped. The owners are really nice.
