- Victoria★★★★★Couple • from Slough, United Kingdom • July 20223 bedroom villa rental in the South of France with private poolPeaceful and just what we needed. Beautiful location if you want peace, quiet and privacy. Just a couple of things - no mention that we had to look after the chickens and the owners stayed overnight on the premises on the final night. If we’d known these things we probably wouldn’t have booked it. These things need to be stated. As we didn’t have exclusivity of the property on the seventh night a refund for that night would be appreciated. Other than that we had a wonderful week away.
- Ian★★★★★Couple • from Glasgow, United Kingdom • September 20193 bedroom holiday villa in the South of France with shared poolVery enjoyable stay; house well appointed with everything you need. Safe environment with a good pool! Value for money is 4* because of standard €80 cleaning fee; no discount because we only used the downstairs, which is a little harsh. If this fee was hidden in the initial headline price, we would not have felt this way particularly as there are clear instructions to leave the house as you find it!
- Isabella D.★★★★★May 20192 bedroom villa in Brittany, FranceHouse very nice functional and very well equipped. The only noise surrounding the seagulls is a real paradise for family relaxation. Nothing is missing like at home.
- Andrea★★★★★Family • from Belfast, United Kingdom • July 20222 bedroom villa with private pool in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, FranceThe house is even better than it looks in the photos. Stunning, peaceful location. Very rural but close enough to Bergerac which is a beautiful town. Guy the owner was helpful and available if required but otherwise we didn’t see him. I would recommend bringing some basic supplies if possible as the shops were closed when we arrived after a long day of travelling and we had to venture a bit further afield to find a shop.
- Darren★★★★★Family • from Hailsham, United Kingdom • August 20193 bedroom villa to rent in the South of FranceThe villa was a little difficult to find but once we were there we were all very impressed with how smart and clean it was with excellent facilities. The view over the village and surrounding area from the balcony was amazing. The owners were very welcoming and made our stay a pleasant one. The pool was well maintained and the villa was very well equipped with everything we needed. The location is quiet and peaceful with no passing traffic. There are some lovely places to eat in nearby villages but would need a car to get to them. Overall it was a restful holiday and are looking to return.
- Denise W.★★★★★May 20194 bedroom villa rental in the South of France with private poolWe spent very nice, comfortable holidays in this spacious house. It is well furnished and offers plenty of space inside and outside. We recommend it! When traveling with young children, the stairs in the house is a bit dangerous and must be supervised.
