[quote=Anonymous]We with family to two amazing places that have staff, all meals (catered to our preferences), laundry and an on site spa at one of them. These are not exactly one big house at either place but more of a compound just rented to small groups (10 at one, 14+young kids at other.) Although they are both what are called luxury properties-both are somewhat rural (the one in France less so.) At first the prices were shocking but once I did actual calculations it was about what we spend during our Maine vacations and that’s with a mix of us doing most of our own cooking, a couple meals out-and dang it: we have to clean up & do our own laundry. We have found that the staff are so skilled that except for the house managers-you pretty much go on about your day and don’t feel awkward at the intrusion of others or prissy like a princess. As we return now for 5 for one and 8 years for the other we have grown to know some who work at each place (not like friends-but interested in changes-we catch up on kids, etc.) I grew up in a very very modest home and we never even had a cleaner or lawns cut. I never considered this kind of travel but friend told me about the one in France and the US reservation person told us about the other as she manages their bookings too. Our group for our winter trip is 14-16 of us (we have 3 adults sons, two of whom are married with 3 grandkids-plus 2 or 3 coupes we are friends with.) France we go with just friends from US and England.[/quote]
