18 Gîte
A self-catering holiday home or apartment, generally run by the owners. Gîtes can vary massively in quality, from small cramped studios in Alpine resorts or seaside developments, to luxurious small chateaux in the midst of spacious parks. As owners are free to fix their own rates, the cost is not always a guide to the quality of a gite on offer - much depending on location, local facilities and the local market. However very cheap gîtes tend to offer very basic facilities or suffer from other disadvantages that may not be evident from tourist brochures or information made available to prospective customers.
