This was our first ever holiday rental and it has set the bar very high indeed. From the moment we arrived to a warm and friendly welcome by our hosts (Katerina and Stephen) to the time we departed with the same warmth and friendliness still on display we could not have wanted a better start to our extended holiday. The cottage is very well appointed and is a perfect size for a couple. It had all the facilities one would hope to find to make our two weeks very much a 'home from home' sensation and provided space for the two of us to move around comfortably. The pool is also excellent and reflects the great care our hosts took in ensuring everything was perfectly presented. The location - in the Vezere valley - is ideal for visiting the numerous attractions of the area. Pre historic caves, stalagmite and stalactite caves, fortified houses, gorgeous châteaux and so many utterly charming villages. We even ventured into a canoe for a 12km cruise down the Vezere which allowed us to see the valley from a different perspective. Although we love visiting different places there is a high probability of us coming back again!
Thank you so much, we really are having a wonderful time. The house is so much better and bigger than we expected and full of such lovely furnishing, it really feels like home! We certainly would like to come back next year.
A great stay, thanks. Beautiful pool and house. A good base for adventures!
Lovely house and grounds. Playroom amazing. Generally well-appointed property. Check in and check out both very well done. Clear, concise and helpful. Loved it. Can't wait to come back.
Amazing château! Stunning weather! Five families came together from different places: Canada, Wales, England. We enjoyed ourselves and each other's company. We hope to come again to this lovely place with friendly spirits.
What a wonderful week, the house has real soul and you have thoughtfully made the very best of each view. Wonderful seats in the garden, shade and sun to maximise the pleasure. The house is absolutely charming and all the finishing touches have made for a very special week. Not only a holiday but I feel culturally enhanced too. Uzes is absolutely perfect + great shops + food!
We've been lucky enough to stay at Manoir de Fouilloux on two separate occasions and have loved our stay both times. The house has been decorated and equipped to an extremely high standard. The property is blessed with beautiful views, and a number of perfectly maintained gardens, ideal for relaxing with a glass of wine, either on the terrace or in the Moroccan courtyard and den or by the swimming pool. It is also within a short distance of picturesque towns and châteaux. If you fancy some wine tasting St Emilion is close by as are the vineyards of Bergerac or maybe a visit to a local food market in Riberac. We are certainly planning to stay again! A wonderful place to relax
The villa proved to be the perfect home for the week, as it ticked so many boxes:- A friendly villa owner who spoke good English, a ten minute stroll to the beach and restaurants, five minute walk to Cros de Cagnes station where you can take the local train to Cannes in 24 minutes and Nice in 15 minutes - so no need to have the hassle of car hire, a well stocked supermarket a 10 minute walk away, within walking distance of the free bus up to the beautiful hilltop village of Haut de Cagnes. A clean, well furnished villa, with every room having individual controls for the air conditioning settings... lovely when you come in from a hot day out! Ice on tap from the huge fridge, and a swimming pool at just the right temperature - day and night.
An ideal village house for great holidays. A very beautiful house, like on the pictures, and very welcoming. Refined design. Heated pool, nothing wrong. Clean and practical house. The owner is available and ready to help. If I visit the area again, I will return to the house if available.
Many thanks for your hospitality; we've very much enjoyed our stay at the Loft. You've clearly gone to a lot of effort to ensure that your guests have everything they need for a comfortable stay. We certainly appreciated the supper that you provided for us on the first night - much appreciated after a day of travel. Drinks and nibbles in the garden with you both was also a lovely touch; always on hand, but never imposing. Best of luck with the next chapter of your renovations!
We have had an amazing week - the pool is perfect and the children spent many happy hours splashing, cannonballing, having lilo-wars and doing prety much everything but swimming! We use Pure France every year - this has been our favourite. Your home is so carefully thought-through and was, for our family, perfect. We loved Sarlat (ate at the Regent on the square - excellent!) and Lascaux - we also loved coming back everyday to this lovely home. Thanks for the warm welcome - I suspect we will be back!
Villa everything and more! fantastic villa, pool and table tennis great fun! Pézenas lovely 15 - 20 mins easy walk! Lots of great restaurants. Beach between Sète and Agde very good and not too many people.
We were traveling with our 3 children. The house is even more beautiful than the photos. We ate all meals when we were home outside on the terrace. The pool was fantastic. The wonderful windows open to the perfect temperature outside. It was an immediate sense of relaxation. You can walk to town, the Roman Ruins, lake and the asylum where Van Gogh stayed. Town is charming and chock full of things to do. Wednesday market throughout town was a blast for all of us. Great restaurants, 2 artisan chocolate makers!
I stayed at your house five years ago for my 50th in October, along with friends and family. We all loved it and often that trip gets mentioned. We love the area and just last Boxing Day completed on a purchase of a house just down the hill from Cordes, having sold up in the UK and moved out last year. We have great memories of that birthday, and I mention my little story, as it was the stay there that cemented our desire to move to France.
We've had a wonderful holiday. The house has been perfect for our three families and the pool is quite superb.
Glorious sunshine for us all week. We've had a lovely time exploring. The children pretended to be Rapunzel at Maison Baleyssagues and had a wonderful day the Lac de Lougratte. I jogged in and out of the grape wines, which was surprisingly exhausting. We all had too many croissants? Thank you for a terrific week in gorgeous setting.
We had a super time and the house was truly amazing - Pat was most helpful and we would highly recommend it and Pure France.com with pleasure!
We had the most wonderful week at Maison des Communes. Philippe was charming and very helpful and informative in his welcome and what a lovely surprise to see a beautiful array of cheeses and wines awaiting us! The villa is extremely well furnished and supplied, a delight to relax in and very well situated for exploring the region and nipping down to the many beautiful beaches along the coast. The three different accommodation areas were absolutely perfect for our party of eight, allowing privacy and relaxation for everyone, although most time was spent round and in the lovely pool and letting the nights darken as we sat sipping the local wines in the various outside areas. There is much to do and see in the area and the villa was a real haven to return to each day. What a great week: fabulous breakfast treats, elegant and artistic furnishings, glorious heat and sun in late August and the happiest of holidays. Merci beaucoup, Philippe!
Thank you all so very much for our stay with you at your wonderful house. Thanks for being so helpful and giving us lots of ideas of where to visit! Hopefully come back one day.
Thank you very much for your hospitality which has been very warm and generous. We have loved your outside spaces and made full use of the pool, table tennis and boules, not to mention the BBQ. What a beautiful place this is and we have especially loved the local markets, Pont d'Arc, Pont du Gard and the Caves at Orgnac d'Aven are spectacular and well worth a visit.
Clercy we loved it, loved it, loved it. What's not to love about a villa brimming with art, antiques and ancient stone. From the moment we stepped through the unassuming front doorway into the grand passageway which leads to the 16th century courtyard, we were smitten. The main interior of the house was spacious, succulent and yet not stuffy. We felt right at home in this huge, elegant place. The back yard was the icing on the cake. We spent most early evenings before dinner out on the patio which overlooks the L'Aude river and across to the old town. How idyllic. The villa was spotless. The management couple who were there to greet us and show us around were delightful, informative... and highly available throughout the week in case we had any questions. The added touches of fresh flowers and a bottle of Blanquette, the locally made bubbly, awaiting us in the fridge were unexpected and delightful.
We had a lovely holiday at Château Perigord and are now sadly back in the UK.
Our party of 10 (6 adults, 4 children) had a great week at this property, There was plenty of space for everyone and the property looked exactly as pictured. The house stayed cooler than expected during the 40 degree temperatures (due to the very thick stone walls and roof, no doubt) and the pool was wonderful. Our contact Florence met us on arrival to show us everything and was available to answer questions during the week. We enjoyed the Sainte-Geniès market and explored Sarlat-la-Canéda.
Had a wonderfully relaxing two weeks in a lovely home. The beds were lovely! Thanks and see you again. Xxxx
Once more, a big thank you for looking after us. The villa is as ever beautiful and the garden a quiet oasis. The weather has been wonderful with all but one day. The Ardèche is so peaceful and the people so friendly. All the best. PS: I still do not like aubergines or courgettes! See you soon!
It was great staying at Clairefontaine. We loved loved the pool and the games room. I had an amazing time in the pool! We have had a fantastic holiday. The house is lovely and very well equipped. The pool and games room have kept the children very happy for the two weeks – good for us! We've really enjoyed the garden and lake, seen a red squirrel and a Little Bustard!
A truly wonderful holiday. We fell in love La Maison Fontinelles and quickly relaxed into life in Eygalieres. Spending time in the garden and pool have been a total pleasure and filled us with inspiration. We cannot wait to return.
A lovely welcome from Frederic who made us feel very much at home. We soon settled into your beautiful villa and stunning surroundings. The pool was amazing and enjoyed by all. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend to others. Bella: It was the best holiday ever! Age 8.
