We were hoping to find a villa to rent near Heidelberg for 7-8 people for the week of Christmas. I feel like I have exhausted all of the villa rental websites (both English and German) and am not finding much for a group of our size. Perhaps I am searching for something which doesn't exist? Ideally, we would like something quaint and rustic from which to base our day trips to the Christmas markets in Heidelberg and Nuremberg. Can you tell me, does such a thing exist in Germany or are those sorts of villas only available in France and Italy? Are there other German cities I should try? We don't want to go further than around a 6 hour drive from Amsterdam due to a pregnant friend who will be traveling with us. Please help us come up with a good plan for Christmas! Thanks in advance.
