We had a very comfortable and enjoyable stay. The property is as described, in the ad, clean and well equipped. We'll remember the amazing views down the valley for a long time and the fantastic pool. Lovely hosts too! Thanks for a great holiday.
What a fantastic stay. Just got back from a wonderful 2 week holiday at this amazing French villa. Quentin and Liz were absolutely superb and the perfect hosts. The Villa had everything you could possibly need. Was in a great location to all the main attractions but far enough away from the tourist areas to give you a real French village feel. We will definitely be back. Village a short walk away for all essentials. Pool is amazing and beds super comfortable. Highly recommend.

Hi Tina
I wasn’t sure if I had thanked you for your great review. It was so good to meet you and spend some time with you. Perhaps one day we will have the chance to see you once more.
Kind wishes
Liz 🙏🥰🥰🥰
Received a very warm and welcoming greeting, the hosts couldn't do enough to help us. The flat was lovely with everything we needed, the grounds were relaxing and the pool was the icing on the cake. Would highly recommend

What a wonderful family! We were so fortunate to have a little time together listening to their life’s tales.
Thank you so much for choosing to stay here at Le Contadour. We sincerely hope you will return one day so that we can resume our friendship.
Liz and Quentin charming and elegant hosts helpful and informative stunning view and comfortable accommodation Short walk to patisserie and small well equipped supermarket Well maintained pool area with plenty seating options Really enjoyable experience
The host and the house were both perfect, nice and enjoyable. It was exactly the kind of place we wanted to find in order to begin our vacation with a calm and peaceful environment. It was nicely located outside of the city of Nice. The accessibility to local amenities like a bakery and a grocery store are very easy to find. For us it was delightful. We had a great time there.

We had a lovely week with our family of 4. Liz and Quentin our great hosts and take care of everything you would need. As it was the beginning of may it was really nice that the poole was heated. The location of the house is in a nice little village with a bakery and supermarket, and all the beautiful places to visit are closeby. We would love to come back some time.
The beauty of traveling truly comes from the people you meet along the way. Liz and Quentin get many a traveler, but every one of them they make feel at home. We brought along our 3 year old daughter who loved the pool and the kitties and the terrace and all the little touches for children in this quaint apartment. The quiet area of Gattieres feels similar to even the views you would get from Gourdon and definitely better than Eze. While Liz and Quentin will respect your privacy, please do take them up on the offer to have a drink or hors d'oeuvres because they have wonderful stories to tell. Thank you for having us and always welcome in the state of Idaho!
Beautiful property, stunning views down the River Var, excellent attentive owners.Excellent location for accessing mountain villages and coastal town.

Thank you so much for your lovely review.
Despite not being there for you this time, I sincerely hoped that you would find our villa just as you had hoped.
We welcome you back one day so that we can share it together.
Had a delightful stay, Liz and Quentin made us feel very welcome and were very knowledgeable of the local area. The property was lovely with a stunning view and the pool was much enjoyed, particularly by our daughter. Gattières is a lovely village with all the amenities that may be needed. Thank you for hosting our memorable trip.
The flat is even better than in the picture. Well located, supermarket and bakery at a walk king distance and only 20 minutes away of nice. Liz and Quentin were really helpful in providing guidance.

Thank you so much for your super review. We are very fortunate to be so close to everything - shops, beaches, Nice , restaurants and more, yet remain in a beautiful verdant area.
We hope to see you again one day chez nous here at Le Contadour.🙏🥰
A beautiful location with stunning views. The property was lovely with lots of charm and character. It was also well equipped with everything we needed and was very comfortable. The swimming pool was perfect and a great place to relax with the family. Liz and Quintin were great hosts and made the whole experience welcoming and easy. Thank you.

It was so good to hear your response to your stay at Le Contadour. Thank you so much. Holidays are so important and we are well aware of the need to create the perfect atmosphere and comfort.
You were a pleasure to meet.
Perhaps another day you will return.
Liz
The location is perfect. The charming little town is in close walking distance. It has a little supermarket, a bakery, a restaurant and a take away pizza-place.
The pool is great, the view is great and the hosts are both discreet, warm and welcoming.
Wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

Excellent location, lovely house, friendly owners
Spent an excellent week at Le Contadour. The property was lovely and clean. The views were amazing and Quentin and Liz were perfect hosts - there when you needed them and invisible the rest of the time.

Thank you so much for your review of our property, Le Contadour here in Gattieres. It is so good to hear back from a client and to know that all went well.
It is very satisfying to be able to provide the holiday that someone dreams of making. We try to provide the perfect setting letting nothing mar a lovely time spent here.
We hope that we will one day, have the opportunity to meet once more and share further moments with you.
Amazing welcome here - we loved our stay at this property. Very relaxing, cosy, clean home. Gorgeous pool and fabulous view. Slept so well in comfortable beds and honestly didn’t want to leave. Thanks for a wonderful stay.
This is a truly wonderful place and it looks even more nice in reality vs. The pictures. It’s a very peaceful and calm place but in only some minutes you reach all the big hotspots! We visited Monaco , Cannes , Antibe and the near by beaches really effortless and in no time . The hosts are amazing and the entire family loved the place . It’s extremely tasteful decorated and very well equipped. Nothing is missing . The pool is very nice
Lix and Quintin are the consummate hosts. Le Contadour is a wonderful place to stay for a trip to the French Riviera. It's inland from the coast in Gattières, providing good access to the lovely hill villages nearby.
We had a beautiful relaxing stay, the views are magnificent and my children enjoyed having the pool all to themselves especially for those late night swims. The apartment is fully equipped with everything you can think of which was lovely. Everything is very close but you definitely need a car and to be a confident driver abroad. Liz and Quentin are wonderful people and full of knowledge and stories if you would like to chat or you can just go about your holiday and they will leave you be.

It was so lovely to meet you all and to share our little bit of paradise. Many thanks for your generous comments. We hope to see you all again one day.
Liz and Quentin were wonderful host. Our stay was wonderful. We would highly recommend them.
This property was absolutely beautiful. The villa had everything and more that you could want. It was very close to many towns within a short 10 min drive. My husband walked every morning to the towns bakeries for fresh baguette and croissants. The location was perfect. Liz and Quentin were the perfect host. They were so helpful with suggestions for restaurants and day trips. Hopefully we can visit again.
We had a lovely time staying in Liz and Quentin’s property. The location was brilliant with beautiful views down the valley and a wonderful pool to relax in. They were great at giving us recommendations locally of where to eat and we enjoyed drinks with them one evening, getting to enjoy the views of their property. Very generous hosts. Just what we were looking for and we’d love to come back!

Thank you so much. We really enjoyed their company and would love to see them again.
Perfect guests!
We had a lovely 2 weeks at Liz and Quentin’s gorgeous place. They are the ultimate hosts making sure we had everything we needed including recommendations for places to visit and great restaurants.
Whatever the plan was for the day we always ended up back at the pool lounging peacefully under the olive tree. We ate breakfast every morning on the balcony overlooking the valley and sometimes we stayed in evenings and cooked as all of the kitchen utensils and bbqs provided.
We can’t recommend this place enough!
Liz and Quentin fabulous hosts. The property was absolutely gorgeous and exceeded all our expectations.
They helped make our honeymoon special, offering excellent advice, always available and were lovely people. They made us a special dinner once they knew we had gotten married, and we all became fast friends in a very short time.
We will go back again and we only wish we could more convey how wonderful they are as hosts.

It was such a huge pleasure to greet both Camille and JJ to our our home, especially since they chose to spend their honeymoon with us.
We so enjoyed their company too and to share precious time with them.
It would be a great pleasure to see them both again and continue our new found friendship.
Thank you both.
