This is not a suitable property for your sort of Americans, you are best sticking to 5* hotels in Nice and Cannes. I don't think you had any idea the sort of property you were booking. I actually knew your stay was going to be a problem before you arrived. I received a series of curt, rude and entitled emails from you before your arrival. And then you misplaced the meet up contacts and details a couple of times! You are disorganised. This house is accurately represented on VRBO, it's just interpretation was wrong. This is a property in rural France, the vast majority of renters get that and can see it before they arrive. I will go through some of 'the list you made while there'. Not a close walk into town..... it is clearly described as a 30 minute walk into town. Dangerous walk..... not sure what you are getting at there, most guests love the walk over our land into the village, especially on market day. Hazardous water conditions in house, fearful of showering..... really! Your imagination is getting carried away. A high percentage of rural properties in France are on their own water supply and like our house the water is not tested. So the advice to guests is to not drink the water but use bottled water. It is absolutely fine to shower in! And use in the kettle. I drink the water and have never had a problem. In regard to a lot of your other comments, I can see you are not easily pleased. The comforts and facilities are fine for the vast majority of guests. I have no idea what you mean by no lightbulbs. We stayed the week after your visit and counted one faulty lightbulb out of about 60 in the house. We have several lengths of tracking lighting. Rats scurrying around at night. NOW YOU ARE TOTALLY MAKING THINGS UP! We have owned the house for 20 years and there has not been one sighting of a rat in that time, confirmed by the House Keeper. Rodent deterrent under the bed... Your imagination is running away with you again. There was an incident of a Pine Martin taking up residence in the roof space some years back. It stayed for about 2 weeks until we encouraged it on it's way. I would advise you in future to : 1. Read the property details carefully in future if you are coming to Europe. 2. Stick to the comforts of 5* in the large towns.

We are very sorry to hear you had a disappointing stay Fiona. I was surprised about your comments about the shower. Whilst I believe it has been awkward to adjust the temperature, I spoke to my adult daughter about this who had been staying with friends for a week just before your arrival and on questioning her she said she noticed the shower wasn’t quite right but really didn’t think it warranted mention. Our cleaners have been spoken to and any issues we believe have been addressed. With regards to your comments about Virginia I think there must have been some misunderstanding, Virginia has been looking after our house for 14 years now and we have had nothing but praise for her help and attention towards guests.

Merci Miguel, je suis content que ça te plaise.

Annabelle and her friends were friendly tidy and very respectful. Excellent guests.

Thank you for your review Hartmut. I’m glad you enjoyed your stay.
