A taste of the real France, spacious & comfortable accommodation, lovely village, great wine and some great restaurants. I can't wait to return in October with more of my friends! Margaret Wall, Cheshire

I can't believe that in January we could travel 45 mins and have glass of wine overlooking the med and then the next day travel 1.30 to have a glass of wine at the top of the Ski slopes -amazing what a contrast -what a place !Lots to do even in winter. Sarah McCarthy and family

A lovely house and what a wonderful setting. Tastefully restored, retaining charcacter of former times. Spotlessly clean . M Lohan, Dublin, Ireland

Thanks! We had a lazy lovely holiday and made use of the pools every day - the boys fave part! Great wine, we had a local bottle every day, loved the muscat. The house was really comfy and had everything we needed. S Holloway and family Suffolk.

Loved the house. So many places to see and things to do - hence why we have re booked for June ,Mr and Mrs Mcdonald- Smith, Warrington
