What a beautiful place

We loved our stay at Isabelle's place so much. What a beautiful house and outside area with a great pool that our son loved, and Isabelle couldn't have been more helpful and kind. The area was so nice and peaceful with a great view over the fields, really nice and quiet and exactly what we all needed. Thank you so much, would love to stay again in the future!

Exceptional property in quiet and remote hamlet

The house was beautifully dressed, and equipped with everything and more than anyone could want! There is an inside kitchen, plus an outside kitchen and a bbq. There are multiple places to sit, eat or just enjoy the outdoors. It was spotlessly clean and so comfortable. Exactly what you want from a holiday. The location was remote and quiet. The property is on the edge of the hamlet so enjoys privacy and a lovely outlook. Isabelle is a wonderful host who is on hand to assist with anything required.

Stunning home in a beautiful location.

We have stayed in many French properties over the years, but this has to be one of the best. On arrival we were met by Isabelle, the owner, and Julian, they showed us around her beautiful home and made us all feel very welcome . The house had everything you could need ( and more) for a family. Isabelle had considered all of our party, my son especially liking the cookies and sweets. The house was immaculately clean and so well resourced, everything from coffee to home grown olive oil, lots of spare linens and even pool towels. The gardens were beautiful with so many different spaces in which to relax, eat and play. Lots of shaded spaces too. The pool was a big hit with all the family. There are plenty of places to visit in the local area. Mirepoix is a lovely town only 15 minutes away with lots of restaurants, the market is a must. It also has good supermarkets. But it was always nice to return to the peace and tranquility of the house. The views were beautiful and we saw lots of wild life, including wild boar and deer in the sunflower field at the bottom of the garden. The resident cat was very friendly. A fantastic holiday, we were very sad to leave after a fantastic two weeks in the sunshine. Thank you Isabelle.
