Beautiful villa in peaceful hamlet

We enjoyed a few days at this beautiful villa. It was exactly as described and is furnished and decorated to a high standard. The garden is large and planted with many gorgeous flowers, with several different seating areas and plenty of spots perfect for photos 😀 Ann was very responsive and helpful before, during and after our stay. Would highly recommend and would use again when visiting this area of France.

A tranquil stay

We had a very relaxing stay in this beautiful villa. Villa was very clean on arrival and we were greeted by the friendly Aurelie. We enjoyed relaxing in the large enclosed garden with plenty of shady spots, lots of space inside as well. Well equipped kitchen, everything you need for a perfect relaxing getaway. The hamlet and location is very quiet and peaceful and a short drive away to plenty of restaurants, bakeries and supermarkets. Ann is a wonderful host with excellent communication, thank you.

Amazing house in the countryside

If you’re looking for a true French countryside break, this is the place for you. The house, dating from the early 19th century, is immaculate and situated in a hamlet surrounded by vineyards. It’s about 7 minutes drive from the nearest town where we went every day to get fresh bread. The owners have put a lot of love into the property and it has everything you need to have a relaxing stay. Our kids loved the pool, the huge garden, and having bbqs on the patio. We would definitely visit again.

Beautiful house and garden in peaceful area

Very relaxing stay. The house is charming and spacious with a large well equipped kitchen. The garden is very big and swimming in the pool surrounded by flowers and trees was a delight - very private There are several sitting areas in shade outside, as well as a large table. The hamlet is very quiet. Lots of restaurants a short drive away and pretty countryside around with plenty of places of interest to visit. Coast not far. Very hot when we were there so be prepared for mosquitoes. The owner was always available to message with any enquiries. Altogether excellent visit.

Très agréable séjour dans une magnifique maison rénovée avec beaucoup de goût. Les sols anciens sont sublimes et la maison est décorée de très belles photos et peintures. L’extérieur est également très agréable avec une grande piscine, une terrasse accueillante qui propose un espace ombragé pour les repas et un salon de jardin. Ann est une hôte très agréable et très réactive dans les échanges. L’accueil est chaleureux avec de nombreux produits alimentaires gentiment laissés à disposition. Cet endroit est un véritable havre de paix.

Overall a very nice experience. The house and the garden are beautiful and have everything you need for a relaxing vacation. Despite very hot weather, the house stayed somewhat cool thanks too thick walls and outside shutters.Only point to improve: the house is not exactly in the location shown on the map, but in a small hamlet 2 km away. Bikes would be a nice addition so that guests could use these for small trips into town.

Superbe maison de vacances

Magnifique maison ancienne délicieusement rénovée et meublée avec soin. Ann est toujours disponible pour répondre à la moindre question. Les chambres sont spacieuses et la literie confortable. Le jardin, l’espace déjeuner et la piscine sont splendides et très agréables. Seul le hameau autour est un peu triste et les maisons environnantes manquent d'entretien. En bref une location à recommander, point de départ idéal pour découvrir la région et le canal du midi.

Belle maison avec un espace extérieur spacieux dans un endroit très calme.

Le quartier est très calme et a beaucoup de charme. L'espace dans la maison est très généreux. Quant au style de la maison, les photos tiennent leurs promesses. L'espace extérieur est d'une beauté fantastique, grande piscine et des tilleuls, un figuier et un olivier qui offrent une belle ombre. De nombreux objets du quotidien étaient déjà là, ce qui est très pratique. Petit reproche : le fond de la piscine aurait pu être un peu plus propre et les panneaux du bord de la piscine auraient dû être refaits. Sinon, l'offre tient ses promesses.

Belles vacances dans cette magnifique maison de charme au milieu des vignes

Nous avons passé 6 jours dans cette charmante vieille bâtisse parfaitement rénovée: Le charme du passée est habilement combinée au confort moderne, et les chambres sont aménagées avec beaucoup de soin et de goût. La grande cuisine moderne ouverte aux couleurs joyeuses est bien équipée, un vrai plus pour ceux qui aiment cuisiner et se régaler! Le jardin avec sa piscine sont idéales pour se détendre et profiter du soleil - ou pour prendre un apéritif sous l'olivier avant de passer à table sur la terrasse. Ayant des enfants, nous avons apprécié la possibilité de laver (et sécher!) le linge.
