What a week at Château Richelieu, where we were fortunate enough to get married in front of 90 of our closest friends and family! To say it was an amazing experience and venue would almost be doing it a dis-service! It's hard to put down in words just how perfect our big day was at Château Richelieu. It would be very difficult to beat as a venue for a wedding and we would not have had our day anywhere else in the world. Our hosts could not have done any more for us. The support before, during and after the wedding has been above and beyond. Honestly, cannot recommend Château Richelieu highly enough, and we will definitely be returning with friends / family for another visit.
We have just returned from Maison de la Mairie. The house is a lovely, spacious and bright family house in a pretty village by the Canal du Midi. The house is well equipped with good quality bedding and towels etc. There is an excellent library so no need to bring reading materials. Outside there is lots of space for sunny or shady meals by the pool. Paraza is well served by a very good village shop and an excellent restaurant situated beside the canal. There is a lot of useful information in the house including walks, drives, restaurants and lo al history. Stephen, our host, was most welcoming and did all he could to ensure that we enjoyed our holiday. Even when he had to return to the UK he arranged for someone to be available should we need help. We have enjoyed a lovely holiday and woulf like to thank Stephen and Susan for sharing their home with us.
We have spent many happy holidays in France, but as this year is our 40th wedding anniversary we thought we should look for somewhere really special - and we found it! The house is a delight, and the garden is the most beautiful place to rest and relax. The countryside around is very peaceful and charming and we greatly enjoyed the nearby towns and villages. The abbey at Fontevraud was a special highlight, and the châteaux at Saumur, Chinon and Angers, which we last visited more than 30 years ago, were all well worth visiting again - so much restoration work has been done in the intervening years. We also liked the Corniche Angevine which runs along the South bank of the Loire between Rochefort and Challones, and the many wine growing areas. Many thanks for your warm welcome and kind hospitality.
We had a brilliant holiday and I enjoyed the trampoline. House was brilliant for hide and seek.
We just came back from a wonderful two weeks at Maison Gentesta. Our entire group was very happy with the level of accommodation, as well as attention to detail by the owner. Any questions we had were addressed satisfactorily immediately, which has not been the case in the past with other rentals. In particular, we loved the well outfitted kitchen and spent many happy hours in there whipping up meals, playing jigsaws, listening to music, and just enjoying the atmosphere. We also enjoyed the pool and were quite happy with the child proof cover. The pool was sparkling clean every single day. It was a great stay for us. We loved watching the memorable sunsets every evening as we had our aperitifs. We were also absolutely delighted by the fact that there were endless fields of in bloom sunflowers all around us! We lucked out with our timing. We would HIGHLY recommend this home to anyone who wants a great getaway in the midst of some beautiful countryside.
An amazing week! Thank you for a wonderful welcome and for making an amazing last meal!
We had a really lovely time. A very well-appointed house with a fantastic pool.
The property lived up to the promise of the pictures and details, and you have been helpful and efficient. We had a wonderful holiday and will certainly use you again and I will recommend you to friends and family.
Wow, what an amazing stay we've had here. As we pack to leave, it feels like we are leaving home. alas. This is certainly one of the most beautiful, peaceful, well-kept and well-equipped - and obviously well-loved - homes in the Dordogne. Prosecco evenings on the balcony, curling up with a DVD, monopoly marathons and sleeping in the most comfortable beds ever. And when the sun comes out, as it does usually at some point each day, the pool area is fabulous! We would like to say a special thank you to the owners - having arrived with 2 flat tyres (!) they could not do enough for us - taxiing us to the restaurant and back, taking us to the supermarket with a guided tour en route, and more. They were amazing. We hope all who stay here enjoy it as much as we did - we are sure you will! Au revoir (we will be back!)
Just a note to say we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Chez Blais. Everything about the house was just perfect and we think the best house yet! So thanks to all involved at Pure France yet again for giving us a good time and making it all so easy. We'll be back...
The beauty of the French countryside equally matched by the beauty and charm of the house. A memorable stay.
We loved your house, and it is clearly your pride and joy. So thank you for sharing it with us. We seem to have had a very hot week so the pool was the place to be, and we didn't get round to the sight seeing we thought we would do!
What a lovely house and location. We have all had a lovely holiday. 3 generations together having a great time. Many thanks to Jery and Bridget who couldn't have done more to make our stay so happy. Love to come back.
Well.. where to start. Christine and Ruud are amazing... the place is extremely comfortable, quite; garden is beautiful, etc.. it's a place we really feel at home and the score already tells everything. It's just perfect!
We are back home after a very good two weeks. The weather was nice and warm the first week (wonderful for the pool). We drank very good wine and visited very good restaurants. (Franck Putelat in Carcassone, Octopus in Béziers, Cot Mas, Lauzun in Gignac, Presbytery in Vailhan etc). We visited the marches and cooked with excellent and fresh products. We discovered a bakery with wood fire in Canet and visited many beautiful places. With this beautiful house - a perfect vacation. We met Olivier and Raphael - friendly and funny and we drank a beer together. We look forward to returning next year.
The villa has entirely been renovated, very well designed and equipped. It is located in a small village only a few kilometres from Pézenas. Quiet and relaxing area. Excellent stay.
Back again! We loved our stay here so much we decided to come back and it did not disappoint. The kids loved the pool and we enjoyed both local walks (marked maps provided at the house). Impressive thunder storms and lovely blue skies. Would recommend Castres, Revel and Hautpoul for local trips (all within 30 to 40 minutes drive).
This is our third visit to Villa Kali and we enjoyed it very much as before. We managed to visit L'Hacienda near Bessan and had a most enjoyable evening. Diane is very helpful with any specific dietary requests and it was a bonus that she spoke English. Very happy to say its a 5 from us again. Many thanks.
We are off on an amazing two weeks in Le Malardier, a house full of character and so spacious. Thank you Gay and Richard. Our American friends explored the area but we Brits who do not see the sun as much as them were more than happy to lounge around the pool. There was everything you could want in the house and the children were delighted with the toys in the attic! This is a beautiful part of France, the views are spectacular. We found some great restaurants and enjoyed the local culture. Au Revoir.
Nous avons passé 4 jours en famille dans la magnifique maison d'Emmanuel et nous la recommandons les yeux fermés : la maison est entièrement équipée, l'environnement est superbe et les prestations de qualité. On se sent comme chez soi! Grand + pour la balançoire et le parcours accrobranche dans la forêt du Domaine, les enfants étaient aux anges.
Beautiful house, lovely region, copious amounts of good food and wine.
We have just come back from this absolutely wonderful property in Collioure and we would like to share our impressions with you. We were warmly welcomed by the owner and his wife and the property is just like the pictures and more. This is a truly exceptional house with every conceivable thing you might want available. The beds are extremely comfortable and the bathrooms spacious and well equipped. Upstairs the kitchen has all a hobby cook like myself could possibly want with an abundance of spices available for our use. The house comes with a manager (Dany) who lives close by and will help with every problem you might have at an instant notice. The gastank of the barbecue was empty so after a message to the owner, Dany came by within 10 minutes to change it. This house does not dissapoint in any way and we would highly recommend it to anybody who wants true luxury close to the very lovely coastown town of Collioure.
Thank you so much. We did have a great holiday in your beautiful house. It is a lovely family home and suited us perfectly.
I just wanted to drop you a note to say we had a wonderful stay at Leyssartade - thank you for providing such a perfect house. Thanks again and we hope to use you again in future.
Thank you for opening your extraordinary home to our extended family. Our holiday at Château Périgord surpassed all expectations. The beauty of the area and of your home are perfect compliments. We enjoyed shopping the local markets and cooking together in the inviting kitchen. We loved our time spent in the pool and playing badminton, as well as the time simply enjoying our pleasant surroundings and views. We explored prehistoric caves and Médiéval villages, we tasted wines of the region, visited famous châteaux, took canoes down the Dordogne river and always ended the day eager to return and enjoy Château Périgord.
We have enjoyed our second stay at La Maison Tournesol. Thank you to Richard and Meryl for their continued wonderful hospitality. Driving up to the house after an 8.5 hour trip felt like coming home. The welcome pack was most appreciated. The lovely chocolate cake was preferred by the little girls for tea (chosen even over crisps!). An excellent trip was had to the Musee de Foie Gras again - worth it for the samples alone. Go-Karting in Caudecoste was great with the little girls being able to share karts and their dads. Lunch in Rocequor at the Cafe du Centre was a culinary highlight even if the town shop with its British corner was closed. The pool was wonderful and a respite from the heat, although the weather was much more temperate than last year. Thank you Richard and Meryl for once again being the consummate hosts, from sharing your knowledge of the area to your welcome to us all, especially Jess. Your gîte is one of a kind and you should be proud of the wonderful space you have created! Last but not least, POPPY! We would take her home if we could and you would let us! Thank you again and we hope to see you next year.
We have just returned from our holiday at your property which we all thoroughly enjoyed. I wanted to write to give feedback on our stay as I understand we were the first guests at the property. It was was the exact property we were looking for, in a quiet rural setting with the farm next door and the property itself offered everything we needed. The pool area was particularly well configured, safe for children and practical. It was so relaxing and particularly for my brother who enjoyed three days with us during the break of his six month tour in Afghanistan. It was so perfect we are very tempted to book it again for next year. Please pass our thanks on to all the owners for arranging the child facilities and to Gary and Louise who kept the pool immaculately.
Fab location. Well-equipped house. Lovely setting. La Ripaille was a fab restaurant to visit.
We had high expectation of this holiday and were not disappointed. The property is a piece of history in an area steeped in the past. From the moment we arrived, greeted by a couple you seemed to have been friends with all your life, the stresses of every day life evaporated. We immediately felt at home and were very quickly making plans for our next visit. The cottage looks picture postcard from the outside and there really is no detail left undone. The inside has its historic charm in place but with all the amenities necessary so that you are not required to live the Médiéval lifestyle of many some other rural accommodation in France. The rooms are beautifully and tastefully decorated and there are large bathroom and shower facilities (upstairs and down). The private swimming pool is superb and was for our sole use. Its clear waters under pine trees and a blue sky were idyllic. It was difficult to tear my wife from the pool side. The cottage fits perfectly into an area of outstanding beauty where many of the sites we wished to visit were only minutes away. The owners were very welcoming and provided good advice on the places to visit but were not overwhelming so that you could always enjoy complete privacy. We enjoyed every minute of our stay and cannot recommend it more highly. If you want to tour the area to see the 1,000 châteaux and the countless prehistoric sites in the area or just chill by the pool, this is the place for you. Thank you for a lovely week.
