Identity and purpose

What Gîtes.co.uk is

Gîtes.co.uk is a UK specialist directory for independently owned holiday rentals in France. It was established in 2013 to connect travellers directly with property owners.

The site lists gîtes, villas, cottages, farmhouses, chambres d’hôtes and other holiday accommodation across mainland France and Corsica. Travellers can search by destination, dates, party size, property type and facilities.

Gîtes.co.uk is not a travel agent, tour operator or mass-market booking marketplace. It is independent of Gîtes de France and is not the same business as Gites.com.
