Guestbook for Lacassagnie

Many thanks for another wonderful holiday at Lacassagnie. The house and setting is truly beautiful and we really appreciate your warmth and care in making our stay a perfect and very memorable one. We are looking forward to coming back again.
Deb and Malcolm --Oxfordshire, England.

"Honeymoon - perfect!"
"It’s very difficult to summarise the experience of our two week stay in such a fantastic location. If you are looking for peace and tranquillity – look no further. We had our honeymoon in this most romantic of settings. Our hosts John & Joy could not have made our stay any more perfect than it was. It really was our ‘Mills & Boons’. We wanted for nothing; even the local Red Deer appeared to complete the romantic setting. Thank you both so much. Rob & Jayne x "

We spent two weeks at Lacasagnie this July and couldn't have found a more idyllic place to spend one's holiday. We have rented houses in Spain; England, Italy, Austria and France and for us this has been one of the nicest.
It's a beautiful old farm restored to very high standard with all the modern comforts one could need. One of its highlights is the heated pool surrounded by fields.
It's also so peaceful that one just manages to relax and forget all the problems of the every day life.
The owners Joy and John make you feel extremely welcome and are very helpul with anything you might need
There are lots of lovely places to visit and in short distance from Lacassagnie, and also beautiful drives in any direction. You really get the feel of the rural France.
We do hope to go back in the near future. Tania and Family, Barcelona Spain.

"A Holiday in Heaven"
"In Jul/Aug 2009 we spent 18 days in the blissful peace & privacy of Lacassagnie.
The owners have restored the large & charming stone house, providing every comfort & convenience imagineable. Everything is top quality, tasteful & immaculate - enormous cotton-clad beds, en suites, modern appliances in a splendid country kitchen, sofas & lounges, cool tiled floors, double glazing.
In the midsummer heat the house remained cool & there was chilled water & ice from the 2 door fridge. And outside, the magnificent pool overlooking hayfields & hedgerows & surrounded by lavender beds, gardens, lawn & stone terraces with sunlounges, dining setting & umbrellas.
Our hosts were perfect - kind, helpful & welcoming, never ever intrusive but there when we needed them (eg. local bank & bakery opening hours!). We felt pampered & spoiled, & couldn't imagine a more heavenly holiday.
