Victoria - August 2024
We have had such a wonderful week at the villa - it is beautiful, thank you!

Melanie D.
Wonderful house in a small willage, two steps away from all amenities you may need during your stay.
Air conditioning is a must, so is the pool which offers a perfect privacy. The summer kitchen is very appreciable. Linda is also available and very kind. I 100% validate. Thanks for all.

David and Valerie S.
We had a wonderful time at Villa Estephe. As we mentioned while there, this is about our sixth visit to the area so we were very well acquainted with its beauty.
As you know, the weather was fantastic, even a little too hot in the second week, so shade from the trees and air conditioning were both very welcome.
The accommodation is excellent and very comfortable.
If we visit the area again, we will certainly be considering your property.
Thank you for our stay.

Nicola G.
We very much enjoyed our stay at your beautiful villa, thank you.

We had a hire car so were easily able to explore the gorgeous local Languedoc region.

Close by we had a wonderful time at the Seigneurie de Peyrat enjoying the choir of cicadas during our 'PIQUE-NIQUE CHIC' experience which was interactive and fun!

We also hired a chef one evening to cook for us at the villa, which was a great success and truly delicious.

Wishing you a successful Summer 2022 season and hope to see you again soon.

We had a very pleasant stay at the house. We are going to Port-Vendres tomorrow.

Hallo Hervé
We are now home after a really lovely stay at your very comfortable house.
We found everything to our satisfaction (apart from the weather at
times!)and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
Thank you.

Patricia G.
We are very happy with our stay in your villa. We hope to return soon. Thank you very much for your advice, we enjoyed our walk to Lac du Salagou, very pretty.

Carol G.
We have really enjoyed our stay in the house, it's situated in a beautiful area of France and have enjoyed the pool and appreciated the AC in the house.

Kate and Dan from US
We had a wonderful stay, the apartment is beautiful and the local area is lovely. Don't really have any recommendations - everything was great!

Leonard family (UK)
My husband and I had a wonderful week at the Maison Estephe. What a wonderful home, it was very enjoyable to stay at an unusual home! We had everything we needed and the home was very tidy and clean. Thank you again for letting us stay at your home.

Yann, France
We had a great holiday. Thank you for your hospitality and for this lovely house decorated with taste and all the comfort. Our daughter and ourselves really enjoyed it. We hope to visit again next year.

Sarah and Colin, Australia
We are now home in Australia.
We very much enjoyed staying in your house. The location was perfect for touring the region: we visited villages, vineyards and seaside towns. We loved Mèze in particular and the beach at Sète. It was very relaxing to come back to the house and cool off with a dip in the pool before dinner. We found the location of the house was very peaceful, but ideal for its proximity to Pèzenas. We would have no hesitation recommending your lovely home to our friends.

Sonia
We have rented this villa for a week and have not been disappointed! Everything was arranged by the owner to answer our queries prior to our stay and so that everything goes smoothly. The house is very nice, clean and renovated with good taste. The heated swimming pool is a must. We do recommend the property!

Neville and Sue
We all enjoyed the stay at the villa. We liked the location - both in Lezignan and the fact that it is close to Pézenas and easy to get to other locations (we went to Carcassonne; Montpellier, Millau etc)
Thanks you for making the bicycle available and the table football! It was also nice to have a pool - although we only used that once. A lot of useful information was also provided in the villa.
We liked the fact that you contacted us personally - it offered us reassurance prior to our trip - thanks for your help.
All in all we enjoyed our stay and if in the area would visit the villa again. Thank you.

Jutta and Michael E.
We are back home after a very good two weeks. The weather was nice and warm the first week (wonderful for the pool).
We drank very good wine and visited very good restaurants. (Franck Putelat in Carcassone, Octopus in Béziers, Cot Mas, Lauzun in Gignac, Presbytery in Vailhan etc).
We visited the marches and cooked with excellent and fresh products. We discovered a bakery with wood fire in Canet and visited many beautiful places. With this beautiful house - a perfect vacation. We met Olivier and Raphael - friendly and funny and we drank a beer together. We look forward to returning next year.

Timothy and Karen - UK
We had a wonderful time at the villa, it was even better than we hoped. If we return to the South of France again we will certainly book it again, if it's available. Thanks again.

L and P Dwyer
Just to say thank you. We had a lovely time and your home was wonderful and we will recommend. I don't think that there is anything you could improve! Thanks also for arranging great weather! We had managed to get around to quite a few of the places you recommended and had some very nice meals in Pézenas and Neffiès. Hope to be back at some point.

Lynn and Paul, UK
We have settled in very well thank you into your lovely home. Everything has been super and I don't think we could have asked for more. You certainly have made a wonderful place to stay.

Geoff and Michelle
We had a wonderful stay thank you so much. Maison Estephe is special. Michelle wants to stay longer next time so I'm sure we will be in touch.

Vince and family (Scotland, UK)
Wonderful week!
Maison Estephe was absolutely outstanding everything we could have wished for.
Lovely little village, fresh bread and croissants from the little baker shop every morning, weather was great, lots of exploring, sampled some wine and discovered the wonderful port of Meze.
Outstanding week will need to look at available dates for next year when I know my time off.

Catherine B - UK
We have stayed in many different holiday properties in Europe but this one was certainly one of the very best. The house was well equipped and comfortable, the location excellent and the pool area perfect.
We were sorry to leave - there was so much to see and do in the area. We would be very pleased to book the Villa again.

Chris and Michael B, UK
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Maison Estephe and thought the village and surrounding area was one of the nicest places we have been in France. We have over the years been to almost every department in France but never to Pézenas. In fact we liked it so much we are considering a move from The Limousin to the Pézenas area. The house was charming and very comfortable indeed.

Jutta and Michael E.
Thank you for having let us your wonderful house.
We have spent a wonderful week with perfect weather, very interesting excursions and we had great meals.
We would be very glad if it were possible to rent the house for one or two weeks again next year.

Silke W.
We have spent a great holiday at the property and we are sure we will be back for future holidays.

Marte S. D. (Norway)
Hi, we arrived last night and have managed to get installed into this lovely house! We had high expectations, but the house exceeds them!

Katie G. (UK)
Beautiful villa. We had a fabulous stay in this gorgeous villa. It's in a lovely quiet village. The pool is perfect for two and the villa is very comfortable. We will definitely be back soon.

Maria and Armin K. (Germany)
We enjoyed the the stay in the villa very much and we´d like to thank you for all the information that we got from you.
We´ll probably come back someday.

Jean-François L. (France)
The villa has entirely been renovated, very well designed and equipped. It is located in a small village only a few kilometres from Pézenas. Quiet and relaxing area. Excellent stay.

Geoff S. (UK)
We have spent an excellent stay at this lovely villa, decorated with good state. The owner is charming. Generally, the house is very functional. However, the villa is for a maximum of 4 and not designed for more. Close to Pézenas, lovely town to go out. I heartily recommend this house.

Sofiane O. (France)
An ideal village house for great holidays.
A very beautiful house, like on the pictures and very welcoming. Refined design. Heated pool, nothing wrong. Clean and practical house. The owner is available and ready to help. If I visit the area again, I will return to the house if available.

Marise
We had a very happy stay in your villa. We visited le jardin Saint Adrien which was beautiful but did not stay for the horses and the music. The villa really was perfect and thank you for allowing us to use it.

Edwards family (Ipswich, UK)
I would like to express our thanks for providing us with a lovely property in a good location for our vacation. After visiting a few local towns Pézenas was our favourite and we were so pleased to be staying so close. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and I am sure we will return. Merci!
