Contemporary Home Rentals & Post 1900 Villas

Home rentals in this category range from the Edwardian period 1901-1919 to modern times. The Edwardian period, though short, had a strong influence on society and on architecture and design. This was an age of social and technological change with a new emerging wealthy class whose expression of prosperity was often extravagant and flamboyant.

In contrast our contemporary homes for rent in Ireland are more minimalist and restrained... While very diverse in style, all have in common the high levels of comfort and convenience they offer guests. Many are open plan and while most are based on the principle that "form follows function" they are attractive and often extremely stylish.
