Guestbook for Gîte Lily, near Valbonne
Very good. The location was excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The owners were extremely hospitable and friendly and were so welcoming. Whilst I was staying there on my own, it was nice to know that they were on hand in case I needed help with anything. In fact, there was an occasion where the power failed at the gite. The owner came by immediately and discovered that it was the dishwasher causing the problem. He wheeled it away to his workshop and in less than 20 minutes it was back in the kitchen and the power was restored. I wish we could get service like that in the UK !! We have been going to this part of France for some 26/27 years and yet we always find new hidden gems. We will return ! Thanks for all your help and quick responses to our queries - Mrs F. from West Sussex, Aug 08.
Very good, well kept and to a high standard. (How satisfied were you with the property ?) Very Satisfied - Mrs H. from Warwickshire, Sept 07.
