If you're planning to base yourselves in a holiday flat or home for an extended stay during the Euros, the suggestions I've listed below may appeal. 

All listings are from a German holiday homes booking site called FeWo-direkt (FeWo being short for FerienWohnung = holiday flat). That site's listings are provided for English-speaking customers via Vrbo, which in turn is part of Expedia.

Of course, I've no idea when you'll want to stay, how many there will be in your group or what sort of property you'd prefer. So, for the purposes of picking a few selections below, I've assumed a 2-week period from the opening day of the tournament, 4 people in the group and simply properties that look interesting to me. You can naturally change these criteria and do an updated search.

So, here are my suggestions for the ten host cities:

Potentially cheaper group-stage bases
For the group stage, it may work out cheaper to base yourself in a central spot away from any of the host cities. I suggest looking at the Würzburg area for Group A, at Hannover and environs for Group B, Group D and Group F, and at places around Mannheim for Group C and Group E.
