We had a great weekend with friends; we were able to enjoy the castle and its huge garden
This has been an exceptional family holiday in your beautiful home with so much care – incredible welcoming brood, cheeses, wines and then several deliveries of pastries and melons during the week. The generosity of this meal in Monday was so welcomed – such an unexpected treat. We had a tough few days as one of our sons collapsed in the morning due to severe back pain in the heat of all this, the paramedics were brilliant, very thorough and insisted on insisting to be checked out. Luckily the painkillers enabled him to enjoy the meal with us before our holiday ended on a last day. The villa is so spectacular with really good provisions and the swimming pool where we have spent many happy hours, the BBQ and lots of seating areas. Bedrooms all lovely. We loved the location and did lots of cycling through local villages including Capestang for the market – great to meet the locals and some of us cycled to Béziers. A highlight was driving to Gorge d’Héric for a short walk and a swim in one of the rock pools there and then a drink in the very scenic town of Roquebrun. So much laughter and happiness and memories to be cherished. I would love to return for my 70th, 5 years’ time! Many thanks for an incredible stay helped enormously by sunshine every day.
The Garden Cottage is exactly as described. It oozes charm, character and good taste. It was spotlessly clean. The large swimming pool and patio area is beautiful, private and well maintained. The cottage is very conveniently located, being a pleasant walk or a very short drive to Thonac village. There one will find a good pizza restaurant / bar, a hotel with both a garden and indoor restaurant and a small supermarket. Two large supermarkets, pharmacy and petrol station are just five minutes drive away at Montignac. This is a very nice small town to visit and where one buys tickets for Lascaux. The cottage is perfectly situated to visit the numerous places of interest in the area and the owners have provided an information brochure of local markets, events and places to visit. We thoroughly enjoyed our 4 week stay and found the owners discreet, charming and helpful. Absolutely no hesitation in recommending the property to couples who want a completely relaxing and comfortable holiday.
This is a gorgeous house, with outstanding grounds. Had an amazing time enjoying the pool, sunbathing and games (boules and ping pong). Thoroughly enjoyed visiting gorgeous Brantôme, - prettier and more quaint than Périgueux. Happened upon a lovely restaurant in nearby Mareuil. Restaurant La Belle - very welcoming, lovely food& fantastic value for money. All in all, our time here has been wonderful - we have loved it!
Exceptional domain, I highly recommend! The rooms are very comfortable, the bedding is impeccable and the hosts are very welcoming. If you are looking to discover the Dordogne, its caves, its castles, its culinary specialties (delicious!), or if you simply want to relax in a haven of peace then Le Manoir de la Compagnie is the perfect place.
Thank you again, frankly it was great, you have a very beautiful house. Everyone thanks you Yes it's perfect, we feel at home!
Superb place! The rooms are top notch, the kitchen well equipped, pool table, shuffleboard, video projector, perfect!
We’ve just returned from a marvellous fortnight at Maison Charvin. Having been annual visitors to France for rather more years than I now care to remember I can honestly say this is one of the best houses we’ve stayed in. As well as being full of French character and ideally located for exploring the delights of Carcassonne and the surrounding area, the house itself is absolutely immaculate with so many thoughtful touches – from two lovely bottles of wine to welcome us to a first aid kit in the bathroom and a sewing kit in the kitchen drawer. And as for the kitchen, well, it’s a cook’s dream. Our youngest daughter is an avid cook and she was delighted to be surrounded by every utensil she could think of including decent kitchen knives. The courtyard garden is beautiful – the jasmine and oleander were in bloom while we were staying and the fragrance in the evenings was beautiful! The pool, meanwhile, was well loved and well used by everyone. Montlaur itself is very pretty. We loved the market and live music on Tuesday evenings – a great jazz band played the first week and a fabulous blues band the second. Vins de Dagne was lovely for supper and Aurelian, the owner was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable when it came to recommendations for wine. History lovers will appreciate the rich Cathar history of the wider region and a visit to Lagrasse, just down the road, is a must. And last, but not least, Sharon, the owner, is just lovely. So friendly and ready to help with anything at the drop of a hat. All in all, a wonderful two weeks and I do hope we can return.
Great villa fantastic week. Everything you could wish for in villa and surrounding area, will definitely return.
Thank you for a wonderfully relaxing stay. We know the area well but usually stay in more rural areas. What we absolutely loved most was being able to stay so close to the incredibly beautiful town of Sarlat whilst having the feeling of being completely remote! The wonderfully enclosed garden and pool gave us a rural vibe with all the benefits of being able to walk to amazing restaurants every evening. Your villa definitely provided the best of both worlds for us and we will definitely be back.
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!
We absolutely LOVED IT! There was so much to do here we couldn't leave. We ended up spending way more time here than planned! Very well equipped and in a very relaxed environment. Would highly recommend to everyone! Thanks so much for having us!
We had such a great time in your lovely house. Thank you for your hospitality and kind reception. We wish you all the best and maybe till next year.
Thank you so much for our brilliant holiday. The property is near perfect for a relaxing holiday, we really couldn't want for anything! The area is beautiful and we especially loved the swimming at Ribaute. Lagrasse has some great restaurants and the Sunday market was really interesting. On the owner Ms W advice we took a trip to the Salvador Dali museum in Figueres - this is brilliant and we loved it. The owner Ms W made us feel very welcome, we really enjoyed the wine you left. Thanks again for making our holiday so GREAT!
Truly the most magical and enchanting holiday home we’ve ever stayed in. The views are heavenly and the design and architectural features of the house are so wonderful and unique it’s like being in an Aladdin’s Cave. The house is so open, full of light and air and so many charming seating areas inside and out leaves you feeling positively joyous. Thank You!
Super beautiful place for all ages! Very well equipped kitchen. All very authentic.
We had a wonderful time at Domaine de Nérige – it is a truly stunning property in every respect and we are looking forward to sampling other Pure France properties in the future.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful place. The house and garden are wonderful and everybody really relaxed and enjoyed themselves. Frédéric is very charming and helpful and everything he arranged for us was perfect.
Thanks to everyone there for your help. We had a fantastic holiday. The villa was everything you said it would be. Thanks also for your reassurance during covid. We were so pleased we went.
The house was fantastic and had everything we needed for our stay - we loved it! we only wish we could stay longer!
We had the best holiday at Maison La Gouronne! We were not sure what to expect as we drove to it as it sits tucked away along a rough track amongst grape vines. We arrived to a nice friendly welcome from the owners who gave us a tour of the property. It's a huge home with lots of terraces and places to sit with the bedrooms all contained on one side of the house with air con and fans. Everywhere was spotlessly clean and tidy. The owners live in the gatehouse near the entrance to the property but we never saw them except for when the pool cleaner went in late one evening, so they are very unobtrusive. I can't tell you how much we all enjoyed this property, we normally go out visiting places during the day but apart from one trip to Valras Plage and to Carrefour, we didn't leave! The pool is really big and was the perfect temperature as it enjoys the sunshine for the majority of the day. There are lots of great sun loungers and big sun parasols that were always in use, we really appreciated the high quality of everything they have put in for use. There are easy lounge chairs around the terraces to escape the sun and enjoy the shade and a lovely table with lots of chairs and comfy cushions at the front of the house where you can sit and enjoy the early morning shade and the evening sunset. The back terrace has another large dining table with an excellent gas BBQ under a wooden overhang for shade. The kitchen is certainly well stocked (we enjoyed the bean coffee machine every day) the fridge is large and the kitchen generally has lots of everything you need. A separate laundry room was great to freshen up our towels and swimsuits with a line outside to dry them. A Carrefour is a 15 minute walk or 5 minutes drive away with a much larger Carrefour about 12 minutes drive away. We have rented alot of places in France and this is our favourite home by far, we would (and intend to) return in the future. Oh, we also had great takeaway pizza and a bottle of wine from the nearby Serignan!
This was a great house for a family break... perfect for the adults and small children in our party. We loved the peaceful location with local wildlife... great views and birdwatching! House comfortable and very well equipped kitchen for the enthusiastic cooks! Plenty nice outside sitting areas... and a fabulous pool. We did not explore much of the local area but would very much recommend Monpazier which was charming.
We have loved the week, the house has been everything and more than we had hoped for, and the garden and pool are just beautiful. We would certainly be keen to come back in the future. Thank you.
A stunning property with discreet, helpful owners a short distance away. Sue and Peter, the owners, are very friendly and informative and seem to have thought of everything to make your stay as relaxing as possible and leave you get on with your own thing. The location is ideal for visiting the many Bastide towns and villages and the numerous vineyards of the region are within easy reach. The under floor cooling keeps the house at a very comfortable level even in the hottest weather and the pool an ideal size to relax and to play. I would recommend this place to anyone wanting to get away and relax.
We had a fantastic holiday at Les Granels, the property was spectacular and was a very memorable family holiday.
Thank you for taking care of our family. The house is absolutely amazing. Such wonderful memories have been made by us all. We so enjoyed the pool, night market and beautiful sunsets.
Amazing place and amazing host Very nice place with a beautiful view. We were greeted very nicely by Danny who was exceptionally nice. We felt at home and hope they felt safe with us as well.
A wonderful stay and greatly enjoyed the house. All the bedrooms are en-suite and three of them have the most amazing views towards the Corbières and Pyrenées mountains. There is a very well maintained pool and an attractive garden and outdoor seating area. Thank you!
