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
An amazing and wonderful place to stay! We only had a week but it was a very special week, our first time in the Dordogne was made into an extra special one by staying in this fairytale cottage with the owners providing everything that you would want or need for a brilliant holiday they were the perfect hosts! The cottage was perfect, clean and very comfortable not to mention the pool which was an added bonus we would be very happy to recommend this beautiful cottage and location for a relaxing holiday!
We are so grateful that you have opened your home to travellers – Ann can tell you we have made few friends here in Béarn for many years, and your home has been just perfect!! Already planning a return, but know that your home made our vacation complete. A bientot!
Fantastic stay, Holiday was in a pretty village in great location. The house was fully furnished with everything you could need and the view from pool and balcony was stunning. We had a fantastic stay. Only small points.. one of the bedrooms did not have a fan which would we useful for future bookings and also the upstairs lounge was very warm despite a fan in use. It would helped if black out blinds could be put down over sliding doors during the day whilst you are out to keep that room cool.
Everything has been so perfect and our time here has been extremely special. So perfect we rarely left the villa. Wonderful attention to detail – happy memories!!! Such a beautiful villa in a fantastic location. So many social areas and little places to hide in. An amazing week which I fear cannot be topped.
The experience and memories will stay with you. Luxury these days is ostentatious and expensive. If you are bored of gimmicks, the look at me photos, and shows of flamboyance and want to return to a time when it meant doing something rare, something magical and getting great pleasure then this is it. As a workaholic, I was only meant to stay a few days but I cancelled my trip to Rome without any sense of guilt. You know when something is special. The grandness of the chateau hits you as you drive through woods to its door. It is a huge palace but when you walk into the kitchen you instantly feel at ease, a sense of calm and belonging as if you have always lived here. The vastness means you can go hide but also easily fall into one of many rooms to join in the chatter and the laughter; the odd glass in hand. The ambience makes you appreciate spending time with friends and loved ones. This is not an escape. It is a return to reality. To nature, to walks in the woods, to scrabbling up steep hilly banks to find Roman ruins. An adult returning to childhood freedom. Losing yourself into another world. All the bedrooms have their own individual character. I slept in the Venetian Room. I know nice sheets but these were really nice sheets. I slid into sleep every night. Everything is top quality but you don’t need an engineering degree to turn on the shower. It is so pleasantly gadget free. Let’s face it, every luxury hotel, every luxury spa, every special Swedish cream; it’s all the same bought from the same store, boring and instantly forgettable. But this is simplicity, beauty and elegance.
The house is beautiful - plenty of space for a large group to have both together time and also their own space. Outdoor areas are fantastic and beds super comfy! . Overall highly recommended.
We had an excellent stay in March in this large, very well appointed and superbly equipped house to accommodate our group of 11 people. Beautiful amenities in the house, quality bedding and a paradise for children. With its large swimming pool, its two terraces and its numerous outdoor games, the area must be even more appreciated in the summer season. We highly recommend this rental, ideal for large families or groups of friends. We were able to discover an enchanting setting in the region. We enjoyed the calm and beauty of the surrounding countryside. Obviously, we couldn't resist the desire to taste the extraordinary local products (wines, gastronomy, etc.). An exceptional place in which we will return for a vacation.
We have felt so welcome in your home and are so lucky to have found you and your family in France. We hope that we will be able to return another year.
Oh how we loved your house! Our daughter, two sons and their three spouses, plus seven grandchildren from three to sixteen all voted it "best yet"! And Francois was wonderful and charming. Isabol speaks excellent French so they got on well.
This place is a true gem and worth of the price! Check in was smooth and everything at the house was as described. Can only recommend! Also only 25 min ride away from a ski resort
Beautiful house and wonderful grounds - a perfect place to relax. Facilities as expected, lots to do and play with.
We had such a grat time here! We are only sorry that our stay wasn't longer. The children loved the house and especially the swimming pool. Hopefully we will be back!
Thank you so much for a peaceful and relaxing stay at your beautiful place. We arrived at an immaculate villa, very comfy beds. You have been great friendly hosts and we'd happily come back again in the future. The children love particularly enjoyed playing in the pool every day as we have been very fortunate with great weather! We'll be recommending maison Brunet to friends and family as we've had such a lovely stay. Thanks again!
Two weeks of idyllic bliss in the rolling French countryside with superb weather to atch. As a family young and old, we enjoyed the stunning house, garden, pool and views. To agree with the previous guests, Laparade is the place to be on a Tuesday evening. Days spent at Biscarosse beach and lakeside both worth the journey. Would also highly recommend in house beauty treatments. We had massages and facials. Fantastic. Just ask Olivia.
The house is at the top, it reflects the photos displayed. Very friendly and welcoming house. Ideal for trips between groups of friends or families.
The villa is beautiful and we loved the area - although was a little warmer than I had anticipated we were so thankful for the air conditioning! Linda was fabulous and super helpful so please pass on my thanks to her as well. Thank you again and hopefully we can visit again later this year!
Enjoyed a wonderful week with friends in this beautiful house surrounded by stunning scenery. Clare was welcoming and helpful and we couldn't have asked for more. Would thoroughly recommend and very much hope to return again.
Unforgettable. My husband and I arranged to come to the Chateau as it has enough bedrooms for all our family - four children, their partners, and grandchildren, making 14 in all. The Maitre de was fantastic - a wine tasting in the wine cellar one evening, a meal for the adults in the dining room. He gave very valuable suggestions for places to go, and helped with any questions The donkey next door was another highlight. We were given carrots, when we collected pain au chocolat and croissant from the wonderful local shop, just up the road, so the children fed the donkey carrots. That shop has all sorts of quality cheeses and all we needed, even the basics. So to sum up, we all had a wonderful time thanks to all the team, the locals, and especially the donkey, Marius - who we all hope to make our ringtone!
We have had a great time in your wonderful house. So relaxing, peaceful and quiet.
Enormous charm, excellent location, very quiet and private, very clean and well managed. We will return!
We had a great time at the house - everything went smoothly. We also spent a fair bit of time exploring the general area although we always ended up back at the large table with a glass of rose taking in the view over the vines come end of day!
Our week at Maison des Communes has been the most perfect way to celebrate 3 very important birthdays. Two 60th and one 40th. We have enjoyed every moment and couldn't have wished for a better location, or host to make this stay as special as possible. As a group of six adults (three couples) it was great to each have our own space with the villa, but also lovely communal areas to have our meals and relax together. Everything about the villa has been ideal from the pool, bikes and comfortable bedroom to the spacious sprawling grounds. the icing on the cake has been Philippe. What a gracious host bringing fresh pastries, leaving welcome gifts. Thanks so much. we will be back.
Everything you would need is provided for a perfect stay in this part of southern France. A range of seating areas throughout the garden and the pool were delightful. The villa was very well equipped and comfortable The hosts were charming, friendly and helpful, but very discrete.
Villa Campredon is amazing and Christophe and his wife are excellent hosts. Their communication with us was excellent and they were very welcoming and happy to provide information on what to do locally. We had a great week and hope to return in the future. The house is exactly as shown in the photos, is very clean and has a very well equipped kitchen. Each room with its own bathroom is a luxury. We stayed with an extended family and I highly recommend this property.
Beautiful, quiet, newly renovated castle with lots of space in an interesting environment. Thank you Michelle for taking such good care of us!
Superb week. Thank you warmly. Lac de Cavayère, a favorite! Carcassonne city, excellent... Bram-Motor boats, fun! Horse-ridding... Looking foreword to a relax when we get home. Lovely house, gardens beautiful, pool and vélos superb. Great memories to take back. Thank you again.
We have enjoyed a wonderful, tranquil week at your beautiful house. Truly a chance to reconnect and recharge. Close encounters with the family of Barn Owls, star-gazing and visits to Aubeterre and Brantôme have made our experience extra special. Thank you.
We had the most amazing time here! Wonderful location and accommodation. The views are breathtaking. Check out the Grand Cafe d'Occitanie and Carcassonne is a must see! Thank you so much, a bientôt!
It has been a pleasure to stay here. You have a wonderful house and it's very well kept as well. We will certainly be recommending this to others.
