Traditional Beaujolais farmhouse with Private Pool - sleeps 8

Thank you for your review and we're glad that you appreciated the many good things about the house, pool and location. I am concerned about the things that were not to your taste as, of course, our hope is that everyone will have a restful and enjoyable break. Three of the 5 beds and mattresses are actually new (less than 3 years old). It's possible the mattresses were not to your liking, but this is something of a personal choice; the mattresses we have vary from quite soft to quite firm. Your concerns are not ones that have been shared with us by other guests. It does get hot in the Beaujolais in the summer but the house is designed to stay reasonably cool, with shutters outside and electric fans in each bedroom. As with most houses in France, it's true, there is no air-conditioning. We review and check the house equipment at the start of each summer season and replace anything damaged or worn out. We still use the capsule coffee machine without any problems although it is, I accept, a fairly basic model. There is also a filter coffee machine. Overall, we're not aware of any problems with the cookware, although we have recently upgraded the frying pan.
