The house looks like it is out of a fairytale. Beautiful inside and out with quirky nooks and crannies. We all fell in love with it as soon as we saw it. Very private and off the beaten track.
The pool was really nice and very welcome as it was +35 degrees when we were there. Some of the sun loungers were broken but we made do. We also asked for an extra parasol as one was not enough for 8 of us. Unfortunately the lights around the pool at night did not work due to a malfunction which was a shame. Hot tub was also lovely.
The grounds are large with a really good tennis court. The teenagers played table tennis & boules every night.
The kitchen was well equipped with plenty of crockery and cutlery. There are tables you can eat at inside and out, we tended to eat at the long table inside where it was cooler. No condiments in the kitchen so remember to bring salt, pepper, cooking oil, tea, coffee etc. Because of the virus we ate in every night. There are super markets about a 20 minute drive away. A boulangerie in the village about 5/10 minute drive down.
Bedrooms were all a good size with plenty of wardrobe space. As we were there as the heat wave hit, it was very hot at night even with keeping the shutters closed during the day. I had booked because the ad stated there was air con but there isnât. There were 3 fans that we could use and we bought 2 more which helped.
Bathrooms all good with really good water pressure in the showers.
The house is fully furnished and well decorated with lovely ornaments, books, lamps, a piano, 2 TVâs, etc. A real home from home.
There was a bit of a misunderstanding with the owner about paying for bed linen after we asked for a further bedroom to be unlocked At no point was this mentioned in any of the details or upon check-in so we did not pay any extra.
Looking out at the stars every night and being treated with shooting stars was magical.
We were all sorry to leave the house, it really was so easy to settle in to and enjoy, we loved it.
