Thanks for a truly wonderful week. The house, garden and pool are really fabulous. We had a wonderfully relaxing time and didn't do as much exploring as we should have done as we couldn't tear ourselves away from the garden / pool. Don't miss Friday evening in Pézenas with the high street market, food, wine and music.
We had a great vacation in a great house. My compliments to the property owner for renting out such a great home.
A charming property and in great location to explore the Loire Valley. Great property- a true piece of history, well persevered and maintained, with a charming personal interior touch of the owners, and in an excellent good location for exploring the Loire Valley. We spent a week in late July, two families with two teenagers each, and we had a great time. First the property – you arrive through a generous and welcoming front yard. The house itself is a really great piece of historic architecture (probably 400 – 500 years old) and full of character and charm, from the traditional contractions materials (stones and old wood beams), large traditional fireplaces in each room (one still fully functional). At the ground floor there are large rooms (living, dinning, library and a full equipped kitchen) so anyone can find its own space, in case for any reason you want to stay indoors. On the first floor two large bedrooms and another two bedrooms on the second floor. Plenty of space for 8 to 10 people. Coming out on the back of the house it is the real “piece de resistance”, a vast garden with a well maintain lawn, swimming pool and a pool house with lots of games. It is here where everyone spent most of the time. We had great weather, so when we were not out visiting the region, we were in the back yard (your private little park) swimming in the pool, playing ping-pong, badminton, fuss ball or playing fetch with our dog. Second the location –great base for exploring the Loire valley, from a genuine vegetables farm that is just next door, an unassuming but great boulangerie in the village and close proximity to Samur, to numerous castles that are in 45 – 90 minutes drive. We would recommend a visit to Chateau Villandry castle, a bit atypical for the region, as it was renovated and used in the modern days and its gardens are exceptionally, even by French castles standards. We also did a day trip to the Atlantic coast and had a lovely day on the beach. To sum up, all you need for a great vacation – a property full of character and charm, lots of activities indoor and outdoor and a great location to explore one of the most interesting regions in France by car or by bike.
Thank you so much for letting us stay in your beautiful house. The girls has a great time in the pool, especially as it has been so hot. We will be back!
We had a fantastic and relaxing holiday at Maison Carel - we loved the house and the pool. We will definitely be looking at your properties for next summer. Thanks again for a such a smooth process and Pure France's help from start to finish.
My husband and I spent a week in Pearl Azure with two of our teenage children. The villa was spotless when we arrived. The kitchen and appliances are incredibly clean and appear brand new. The kitchen is very well stocked and the - equally clean - gas bbq outside is an additional bonus. We were met on arrival by Jean Luc, who had been in touch before we arrived, and he showed us all we need to know about the house and how everything works. He was very accessible and attentive throughout - a wonderful host. The villa is deceptively large with lots of surprise areas as you explore it. Our teenage children each had their own studio living spaces. All very well air conditioned and with their own bathroom and dressing areas. The outside space also provides lots of different areas - a roof terrace, a side area, a shaded patio and a wonderful pool and surrounding area. The jacuzzi feature in the pool is yet another surprise treat. The villa itself is very well located and within a short walk to shops, restaurants, the sea front and a train station that provides easy and affordable travel along the French Riviera. We spent a day in Cannes and another in Monaco. We had no need for a car and it is also only a very short taxi ride to and from the airport. I would highly recommend this villa as a base from which to explore the local area and further afield. Jean Luc is a fabulous host and the standard of the villa is excellent.
Beautiful villa in a stunning location. Everything you need for a comfortable stay. The host who checked us in and out could not have been more helpful and friendly.
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 wonderfully pleasant stay at Le Malardier. The weather was very hot for a few days and much rain is needed. The views and layout of the property are very suitable for a large family group. The years of construction and design have really paid off. So, thank you for your kind hospitality.
Our stay at La Valentine has been an absolute pleasure. A warm welcome from pierre and Claire set the tone for a relaxed and enjoyable stay. Food at the local village square pizzeria was excellent with friendly locals and staff. Trips into Cassis were great fun including trips to the beaches there and hiring a board from behind the tourist info office. Food at the yacht club was lovely and a bit more relaxed than the bustle of the town. All in all a memorable stay.
Couldn't have asked for a more perfect stay. Thank you for having me again.
Large family holiday, ages varying from 2-60. Beautiful house, great outdoor area with outside pergola and table plenty big enough to sit all 13 of us which was great. As in description location is very rural so definitely need cars - supermarket is 10 minutes drive away. Estelle was very helpful leading up to our holiday, and during our stay. Answering all our questions and popped by to make sure we were happy with everything. Local area very pretty, but we stayed in August and everywhere was deserted! Apparently lots of places in France shut down in August. Very well equipped house for great holiday.
Le Malardier is delightful. It is so much more than just a holiday home. Every room makes you want to step inside. The house has been so sympathetically restored and is quite clearly a labour of love. Richard and Gay were also the perfect hosts and couldn't have done more to welcome us. If your thinking of booking a week or two at Malardier, do it. You won't be disappointed.
Highly recommended. The house was very spacious, tidy and even more beautiful than in the photos. There is a large beautiful and enclosed garden and by the pool a nice terrace. The owner were really friendly and helpful. Both we and our 5 dogs had a great vacation. We will definitely go back again!
Peaceful French retreat. Lovely family stay here with great pool and Al fresco dining area for the summer months. Enjoyed being out in the countryside with local town and large supermarkets just a short drive away. Would certainly stay again.
We are having a wonderful time in your beautiful home. The weather has been very kind to us so far and the pool is super and being used constantly
Carole and Jean-Luc have created a wonderful tranquil home. It is easily the best equipped we have ever rented - for instance the kitchen is lacking nothing at all! It's in a great location and within a short drive of local attractions (eg Grasse, Mons, Callian etc.) as well as within a short distance of the Riviera. Our hosts were very helpful when we sought advice and we hope one day that we will be able to return.
It has been a great pleasure meeting you both and staying with you. We thoroughly enjoyed our first evening with you both and learning a little about the area. What you have done with your property is truly magnificent despite the artisans! We enjoyed following your recommendations for places to visit and have navigated our way through the vineyards - thank you for our adventures! We went to Narbonne and saw synchronized kite flying that was really exciting to watch. We will really miss the gardens and pool. Au revoir.
Hiya; can’t believe 3 weeks is up already! We’ve had a fab time in your house especially with the real Côte d’Azur weather this week.
‘Thank you for providing such a lovely setting for us to celebrate a very special 60th. The entire week has been truly magical.
With grateful thanks for a very relaxing week in your lovely house. We really enjoyed the beautiful views and surrounding countryside; the sunsets were amazing. The weather was very kind to us with soaring temperatures, dips in the pool were most welcome.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful part of the world. We have had such a relaxing and peaceful week. We really enjoyed meeting you, thank you for everything.
Fab house! What a lovely property! Lots of space. We were a big family group, mixed ages. The pool was a godsend as the weather was tres chaud! Beautiful sunsets. The place was very well equipped. The owner was very communicative and helpful to my queries. Nothing was too much trouble. Really nice to receive some wine and coffee on arrival too. What a wonderful holiday we have had! Sad it’s over
We have had a wonderful week in your fantastic home. It has been so peaceful and tranquil here by the pool. Seeing the amphitheatre at Nîmes and canoeing under the Pont Du Gard were the highlights.
Wow… what an amazing villa, it's just so beautiful. We had an amazing family holiday… Debbie and Brent also made our experience so memorable and really have provided a fantastic service.
Thank you Karen and Russell for giving us the opportunity to stay in such a beautiful place. The Loft du Vigneron is one of the nicest places we have stayed, and we have stayed in many. The warm welcome we received when we arrived was lovely after our tiring journey. It was great to have you show us around, and your welcome pack was more than generous. The facilities here are all 5-Star; the Loft is spacious and airy, and spotlessly clean. The kitchen is fully stocked with utensils and crockery and everything that you need, and more besides. All the ensuite bathrooms are of the highest standard with fluffy towels and pamper products (I want a new bathroom when I go home - I was spoiled here). Karen and Russell, you really know how to look after your guests and spoil them. We can't wait to come back next year for two weeks - one was not enough!
We spent 2 weeks at Mas Saint-Cernin. The accommodation was clean and comfortable. John and Lesley provided excellent information before our arrival about the property, the local area and very clear travel directions. There was even a welcome basket of essentials for our breakfast on arrival. We had a fabulous time and hope to visit again.
We had a lovely time thank you. Beautiful house and wonderful countryside.
We had a great stay at the charming Domaine de Nérige - highly recommend!
