Thank you for your customer service, you have been brilliant and I will certainly be using you again in the future. The house itself was superb and well kept. It provided everything we needed and more... Compliments to the owners. We all had a fantastic holiday and feel refreshed and ready for the autumn term and work! I appreciate the quality of your company.
Maison Capitelle exceeded our expectations. A thoroughly enjoyable stay.
An amazing house with the best swimming pool we have ever seen! 16 of us stayed in this lovely house for 2 weeks as we took the little gîte as well. We had a fabulous holiday. You have to drive up through fields of sunflowers to get there – a great welcome. We had loads of children but the pool is so big they spent the whole time doing acrobatics in it – and there was still room for us adults, when we managed to peel ourselves off the sun loungers. Evenings were spent playing tennis on the courts in the house grounds, BBQs, or local restaurants.
Had a brill time. Carcassonne old town. Minerve, pretty. Local restaurants (good food). Grand cafe down the road in Felines. Minervois for a long lunch. Pool is a refreshing treat. Hope to be back.
Stunning property overlooking lake. Property is in great location but not isolated, walking distance to bar, restaurant, Boulangerie and takeaway pizza shop (or 2 minutes in car). Property is in excellent condition and is very clean and well looked after, the pool is great for a cooling dip, the area around the pool is also modern and clean with nice furniture too. Comfortable beds with crisp bedding, everything has been thought of with a lovely modern kitchen, unique dining table, comfortable clean sofa. Great views overlooking the lake but still very private. The house also stays quite cool as it's shaded by the trees which was great in the heatwave. The owners are really helpful and take pride in their special property. Thank you for such a wonderful holiday, will definitely be recommending to friends and family and would stay again when visiting this beautiful area of France *****
We have had an unforgettable stay in this lovely house and wonderful area. Thank you for all your generosity.
What a gorgeous week we've had here ! Annie and John have been so welcoming - inviting us for a much-needed glass of wine on our arrival. Not to mention all the helpgul local knowledge and information. We have loved the pool, sunshine and glorious garden. We would recommend the lovely Piglet Barn and Annie and John especially. Thank you for our memorable time here.
What an amazing week! The whole family had a superb time - we thoroughly enjoyed your beautiful home, with everything we needed there! Our family - from the age of 6 to 71 enjoyed all the facilities - the pools, hot tub, table football, darts and of course, table tennis. Thank you so much for your hospitality and use of your “home”. We will be back - but before then I hope you will visit us in Prague.
Merci Cédric and Virginie. We've had an amazing stay at this beautiful villa. It's exactly what we needed and so much more! The village and surrounding towns again were beautiful and couldn't have asked for more! We will definitely be recommending the House of Swallows to all of our family and friends.
We've had a great time and we’ve especially enjoyed the pool, as the temperature has barely dropped below 30°C day or night for the week due to the canicule. Our favorites: Best boulangerie: Andralie in Monflanquin, just beyond the Gendarmerie on the road to Villeneuve. There is an Auchan hypermarket just beyond on the same road. Best market: (Sunday) Issigeac. Best night for: Sarlat (Wednesday's), Le Bugue also good (Tuesday's). Best for a visit and potter: Monpazier – old, beautiful and floral. Lots of artisan shops and a long fort (Château Biron). Also, fabulous marché nocturne in Tournon d’Agenais on Friday. We ate from (Gyp?) and enjoyed watching Olympics in cool shady areas.
A wonderful first week to our holidays. The house is wonderfully renovated and has everything a family can wish! We also had the chance of a very warm weather which gave us plenty of opportunities to enjoy the great terrace and had al fresco dining every day. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your wonderful property. PS: The Auberge St Jean is a must eat in the area!
Belle Provence. We spent 3 very relaxing weeks in June at Maison Celte. The views from the extensive outside areas and the pool are simply fabulous. It is a lovely house for outside living with a very open plan feel. The house is spacious and very equipped, we couldn't think of anything the house lacked. On hot nights the air conditioning was very welcome. Perfect for a quiet family holiday. The hosts are very obliging.
The countryside and views are stunning. Total relaxations and happy memories to take back to Dublin.
Idyllic, total relaxation It was our first time visiting Charente and we absolutely loved La Charmante Distillerie. From the moment we arrived we felt relaxed. The pool area and terraces had amazing views and so tranquil. The interior was beautifully furnished and we liked the nod to the old distillery and its history. There were plenty of activities for the family and we really enjoyed star gazing with the telescope provided. Mark kept the grounds and pool immaculate. We appreciated access to the herb garden and fruit trees. I would also mention the excellent internet coverage which meant that our teenagers were happy in the den in the loft, and the younger kids loved playing in the sandpit and on the climbing frame. Can’t recommend this place enough!
Have had a truly wonderful visit. Such beautiful, quiet place with great amenities. Thank you so much. Would love to come back.
Brilliant holiday, amazing pool and so much awesome wildlife! Great fun!!! Amazing week spent!
We had a lovely stay, together with 16 friends, in your lovely chateau. Thank you!
A beautiful house in stunning location. The saltwater pool, dinners and lunches on the terrace overlooking the hills, valleys and wildlife could be enjoyed even if you did nothing but stay in the house. The attentiveness and help given by the home’s guardian was perfect and made the experience incredibly easy. Despite the temptation to stay in the house for a week, we made many trips to surrounding areas. We and our families really enjoyed the nearby horse-riding (a proper hack!), lake trips (the Italian restaurant at Lac des Vannades being a favorite restaurant, a tour of the observatory with nighttime stargazing and walks into the village. Friday night in St Michel is not to be missed too - the whole village was out at the Tabac and restaurants, with plenty of singing and dancing in the streets. Nearby Forcalquier was buzzing with art and the best ice cream we’ve ever had in our lives (the gelateria, Flazzi) I’d also really recommend a trip to Banon - with a remarkable bookstore that has to be seen to be believed - and cheese shops that we did our best to empty of produce
We have had an amazing time here. We enjoyed swimming and playing ping-pong. We've made so many memories and everything is so beautiful. We would love to come here again. Thank you so much for a fantastic stay.
Just back at work after two weeks at Maison Tigre and wanted to thank you for sharing your home with us – we had a fantastic time. We have been staying in France and Italy over the last ten years – varying our choice between rural isolation (for space and privacy) and village houses (for the boulangeries and café s, etc.) and I have to say that your home provides the perfect combination in a part of France where there is so much to do and see. I also really like the house itself – the great care that has gone into the development, finishing and furnishings is evident (and I like the modernist / minimalist style you have employed). All in all a brilliant holiday.
Still not convinced about this place, will need to come back a 5th time! Thanks for an excellent week.
We had a wonderful two weeks at Sechoir Carme. The house is perfectly set up for a group holiday and comes with a well designed open plan ground floor, including a kitchen that has plenty of everything you need. The air conditioning in the bedrooms is a great benefit for hot summer nights. Then there is the outside and the fantastic swimming pool. We spent a lot of time in that. Villeneuve sur Lot is just a few minutes away and is a wonderful town to explore, and there are plenty of other fascinating places within easy reach. Strongly recommended !
Had a wonderful 2 weeks at the Maison Baleyssagues in Lot-et-Garonne. Great days out in Bordeaux and the countryside. Weather great for the most part. Really enjoyed the super pool - which has been the best so far. Thanks so much to Frederic for being such an entertaining host. See you gain soon.
We've had a fantastic week in your beautiful home with all its attention to detail. Thank you so much – the pool table has been a great novelty, the sports equipment and bikes have entertained us for hour. We’ve loved visiting the bastides and swimming in the lake and the Lot.
Amazing house. Feels very homely and comfortable on a grand scale. The pool was great and we had fun exploring the woods. Hosted very well, friendly and fun when rquired and hidden when not. Great, thank you.
Thank you so much for your incredible generosity in allowing us to spend a fantastic 3 weeks in paradise. It has been incredible to share this château with our dearest family and friends. Unforgettable.
We have just returned from a wonderful two weeks at Maison Semoussac.
We have had a wonderful time here in the house. Eric has been a tremendous host and looked after us brilliantly. We have enjoyed lazy days by the pool with an odd burst of ping pong for exercise. The trip to Carcassonne has been the highlight and a wonderful place to be as the sun sets. Merci beaucoup.
We've had a blissful week here. The house is beautifully and very stylishly renovated and is extremely comfortable and easy to live in. The surrounding environment is stunning. We've loved picking fresh figs straight from the tree breakfast and getting to know the local wines.
