- 3 bedroom villa rental in the South of France with private poolJuly 2022 ★★★★★Peaceful 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.VictoriaCouple from Slough, United Kingdom
- 2 bedroom villa with private pool in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, FranceJuly 2022 ★★★★★The 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.AndreaFamily from Belfast, United Kingdom
- 3 bedroom villa with private pool in the South of FranceAugust 2019 ★★★★★We had a wonderful stay at this property. It was very clean and extremely well equipped.

- 2 bedroom villa in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, FranceMay 2019 ★★★★★Quiet stay in a small village well maintained with beautiful new or restored houses. The cottage is spacious, bright, comfortable and pleasantly furnished with a wood stove that creates a warm evening in the evening. All this in a region steeped in history. canal gourmet cuisine, good wines ... life is beautiful!Chantal C.
- 4 bedroom villa rental in the South of France with private poolMay 2019 ★★★★★We 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.Denise W.
- 3 bedroom villa in Brittany, FranceApril 2019 ★★★★★House and amenities excellent but sheets towels and soap should be included in the price. 10 euros sheets per person and not even bed is totally prohibitive. Capricious shutters including the bay window that did not open the last day. And a garbage bin in the top bathroom that was not emptied when we arrived. But the house, the equipment and the location are top.Estelle B.
