Like the previous tenants, we appreciated the calm, the swimming pool, the breakfast on the terrace with the pretty view of the vineyards and the scrubland, the sunsets so different every day. We were particularly appreciative of the very nice amenities for this quiet house for getting together with family. The swimming pool is very large and with a breathtaking view of nature and the vineyards. The region is very beautiful and the surroundings are worth it. We had a very good holiday and Marie who welcomes you is very pleasant. Christiane, the owner, takes great care to ensure that your stay goes as smoothly as possible. The equipment in the house, whether furniture or kitchen area, is top notch.
Fantastic stay in beautiful tranquil location. House perfct. Shame to have to leave Friday in race for the tunnel and to avoid quarantine but well worth the trip here and back. Rested and relaxed.
Encore une merveilleuse semaine pour notre 3ème séjour à Lescalparède. Merci pour cet endroit si reposant, si ressourçant et si calme. Et un grand merci pour votre accueil. À l'année prochaine.
Great garden and location, good tips in the book and all necessary amenity for the family and guests.
When we pushed back the gate we were greeted with the most spectacular oasis - the house could not have been better designed, the kitchen was even better equipped than our own - the piece de resistance was the courtyard and the pool. We spent 2 fantastic weeks in the maison and the village was pleasant and friendly. We returned again this year as we tried other types of holidays but they were never the same, the oasis that we remembered was even better - the quite, the home from home feel to the Maison - having just returned from a 2 week stay - it is clear that a lot of thought had been given to the make your stay comfortable - we barely moved out of Maison Charvin, to see the many interesting places in the area. It was too hard to leave the oasis behind. Our 3 children slightly older than our previous visit loved Maison Charvin that they too were reluctant to go home.
Quick note to say thank you for letting us enjoy your wonderful villa and the extended departure. We loved every minute and hope to be back next year. Gordes is magical but there is something special about La Borie.
We have had an amazing weeks holiday here, we only wish we could stay for longer. Richard and Meryl are wonderful hosts that have created such a special gîte, it has everything that you could need and touches like an assortment of goodies and Meryl's amazing lemon drizzle cake set this gîte apart. We will definitely be back to stay and have already discussed dates. It is fantastic that you are able to walk to the local shop and bakery, the village centre is beautiful and we had a lovely meal in the market square last night. The gîte is in a really relaxing and quiet spot that has allowed us to really get away from things, I can't remember the last time we had such a relaxing holiday. Thank you so much.
We have all had a superb week. What a beautiful house and surroundings. Huge fun in the pool, long evenings on the stunning terrace watching the sun go down. Complete relaxation for us all. Younger folk tried the Pirate experience and really enjoyed it. We all went to Laparade - a huge open food festival, a sea of tables on the remparts (take your own cloth and plastic beakers!) and great music. A truly magical week we will all treasure. X
We had a lovely time and were very fortunate with the weather. We are certainly looking to go back to the South of France next year!
We had the most wonderful stay at the property. The garden is beautiful and the swimming pool amazing. Inside everything set up for comfortable stay for all - kids loved the hammocks! Thank you for making it so welcoming. I hope that we will be back very soon.
Thank you so much for letting us stay. It's been absolutely incredible, from wine tasting to taking walks with my husband. I genuinely cannot wait to come back. (hopefully soon)!
We had a wonderful time in the lovely property in Gonfaron. We ranged in size from 3 for one week to a full house for the other 3 weeks. The porch with the big table and sofa area was fantastic. Big dinners at night and coffee on the sofas in the morning. All my guests loved it. Everyone loved the pool and pool house.
A really rather pleasant experience! Delightfully attentive and genial hosts, a home – not just a house – 'home' beautifully restored and equipped to the highest level. Thank you Nicholas and Simon. Places to go? Brantôme is a must! To paddle your own canoe – so to speak – around this lovely moated town is something that house guests must try.
We have stayed at Lagarde on a number of occasions which rather says it all. The setting is idyllic which makes it instantly relaxing. The house and all the ancillary accommodation is huge and has a wonderful welcoming family feel which is grand without being imposing. It is a great place for lots of people as you never feel that you are living on top of each other and there are always quiet places to retreat to. Our favourite place to sit and eat was the courtyard which is so enchanting. Everything works and the bed linen, towels etc were all first class. The pool was perfect and we didn’t realise how competitive we could become over table tennis. We have got to know the area very well and there is plenty to do with amazing local markets. Beautiful walks are on the doorstep. We have met the owners who are charming and gave very useful handover notes. We have had lovely times at Lagahe and wonderful memories, as does our dog who was welcome! Great value.
Stunning château in rural France. In August this year we made our 3rd visit to Château Velouse with a group of friends and once again had a wonderful time. The first time we flew to Paris and hired a car but found it more economical to take a ferry - crossing to Dieppe last year and Calais in August. Easy drive on all occasions. Location is in a beautiful rural area steeped in history and close to the Loire with its majestic châteaux and extensive forests. Medieval Bourge, only a few miles away, is very well worth several visits – the acoustics in the cathedral are amazing. The surrounding area is reasonably flat and so an ideal centre for cycling on very quiet roads and off road tracks. The communal areas and bedrooms in the château are impressive and very classy. The pool area is an ideal centre for complete relaxation. Pool is clean and well maintained. The hosts are extremely welcoming and friendly - very attentive to our needs and not obtrusive. Well worth a visit.
An amazing house with everything we needed for a family of 3 generations to get together. Spacious, well appointed and beautifully decorated, great swimming pool and surrounding gardens. Close to the main square full of restaurants, bars and shops. Evening and weekly markets in the town were lively and well worth a visit. Our host was welcoming and couldn’t do enough for us. We would certainly recommend. Fabulous!
After an action packed week in the Savoie we came here for a week of rest and relaxation. Mission accomplished! We have done nothing but laze by the pool, chat in the beautiful garden and enjoy candle-lit BBQs. Thank you for the hoe grown and local produce, gratefully received and eaten! Thank you again.
Fabulous spot, loved our stay. Mas de la Chapelle really lived up to our pre conceived ideas. We had a great time and would recommend this place and area to anyone. It's a pity we live 24 hours away!
We stayed as a family in this very pretty house of character, full of charm and luxury. Located in a large, quiet, vast and well-maintained property, the house offers beautiful surface areas and numerous rooms, ideal for a large family. The large swimming pool is perfect for the whole family. The welcome is very friendly and we spent a wonderful week as a family in this beautiful property. I will come back with pleasure.
We had great time at Joli Fleuron with a real nice and hot September month.The house is really big and super well equipped. Lots of details and little thoughts have made our stay so wonderful. Frederic was very reactive and always very friendly. We loved also the large garden and the old trees providing good shade in the afternoon. The pool was amazing, very large and lots space around with a fabulous view to Duras. The region is great for a mix between food, history and wines... perfect holidays, Thanks.
Thank you for a lovely stay. The house was lovely and we really enjoyed Maison La Fontaine.
Our stay here was the highlight of our recent trip to the South of France. From the minute we drove through the gates we were impressed by the beautiful gardens, house and pool. It is truly a magnificent French retreat and estate. I couldn't recommend the house more highly and I am already planning another trip there soon.
We've had a wonderful two weeks here - beautiful weather, everything we could possibly need in the gîte and amazing hosts in Meryl and Richard (and Poppy). We brought bikes and had some great cycling days along the route by the canal and further afield for the more energetic member of the family! Lots of beautiful places to visit - some of our favourites were Lauzerte, Moissac, Auvillar, Monatigu de Quercy, Tournon d'Agennais and Pujols. Nice to just wander around and have a good lunch, then come back for a swim in the pool. We had a great night watching France v Belgium in the World Cup semi final in the square in Bourg de Visa. There was a TV screen hanging out of a window above the bar, the flags are out and beer was flowing. Wish we could stay and cheer France in the final! Thanks for a wonderful holiday.
Stunning renovation, not a person or light in front of us, fresh linen, ample space to relax and a place where we all could unwind with the family, we will be back again. 100%.
We have stayed here three weeks. For the first week our family joined us our three sons and partners. This house is full of beautiful objects and we have loved being in it. We have enjoyed the lovely gifts of pastries and bread brought by Phillip. Thank you for those and also the amazing meal that included a cake for my 70th birthday. We have been to the walled city of Carcassonne - well worth a visit. We have been to the beach and our here has been lovely. We are sad to leave and will miss the bird song. I am afraid the cat was not welcomed by our two Pugs and was chased away. The wine tasting at St.Chinian was amazing. We bought bottles of wine with amazing art labels as the cave was decorated with such great art-work. So worth the visit. Thank you for the taster wine and for the introduction.
We have spent a perfect holiday in Bessan. The house is very beautiful, the children enjoyed the pool everyday. We particularly liked Uzès and Pézenas which really are beautiful towns. Thanks again. See you soon.
We loved the house, pool, garden and secret staircases. Robert and Nelly looked after us so well and were charming and friendly. We had lovely dinners, picnics, running, cycling and there were several games of Sardines. Thank you so much; it's been the perfect place for a holiday.
