"Gigi and Patrick were lovely hosts. The house was well-ordered and very livable. The yard was lovely and we spent many afternoons on the grass and in the hammock at tea time. Although there is no "view" from the house, the location was perfect for exploring Provence. The village of Barbentane was quite small, though, and we had to use the car to go to the upper village for the market you cannot walk there. The billiard table was a huge plus for our 12 year old. Our only complaint was that only 2 of the 4 beds were made up with sheets when we arrived. We didnt discover this until bedtime when, bleary-eyed we had to find sheets and make beds. They also wanted to charge us extra money for the sheets and towels at the end of the stay. In our experience, this cost is always included in the rent. Otherwise, we had a lovely stay. Thank you Gigi and Patrick."
Owner reply:
:
about the complaint, we reply this: that all is very well explained iwithin the descriptions and informations about the house , into the EXCLUSIONS, its expressively written that the bed linens sheets, towels, are not included into the price booking we always sent a email to our customers to ask them before if they need it for knowing before arrival and prepare it , so its not a problem , only to paiy attention for it for customer and guests Pat & Gigi

| "The property and grounds are spacious, well appointed and Patrick/GiGi were very helpful and friendly. There is a lot to do in the area and it was also the best pool we have come across in France although not one that you can paddle in. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and are looking to re book next year."

| "We loved our week at this beautiful house. The lovely bedrooms perfectly accommodated our family of 11, and bonuses included the pool table and the high speed wireless Internet connection. The large enclosed, private grounds include a pool, a bbq, a dining tent where we ate every night, and a spacious yard for games of petanque (boules) and wiffleball. Patrick and Gigi were great, nearby and unobtrusive but always available to solve problems, give directions and make recommendations of local restaurants or sights. Patrick got us all bikes, and we enjoyed the 10 minute ride into quiet, historical Barbentane village for our morning cafe creme and croissant. With tennis nearby, great local bike rides, and a location convenient to the joys of Provence, this villa was perfect. Highly recommend!"

| "This villa was a find, exellent throughout, very friendly owners, who kept their distance but were very helpful whenever we needed them. Pool is fantastic and very safe for young children.
The town is lovely and is a great base from which to explore Provence. The villa is full of English tourist information about the area, which is a great help when planning a trip.
My family loved our 10 days and we will come back I am sure."

| "Second visit to this property, and Patrick and Gigi have made a whole range of improvements (including a bunk room off a bedroom) and had obviously replaced a lot of items so that the condition of the property was superb. Was able to rent a bike for the duration on site also, enabling daily relaxed countryside cycles.
The pool, barbeque, and totally relaxing environment were ideal for a family holiday. The area has lots of intertesting places to visit, especially enjoyed exploring the Camargue, kayaking and visiting wine areas of the Rhone, all of which are within an hour.
Local shops, restaurants, bars, supermarkets all very friendly even to Scots with limited French !
Absolutely ideal for kids - age range of our group 3-17, all had a really good time in this very safe environment.

| "We were 8 adults and 3 children, 1, 3 & 6 yrs.old. The house was excellent for this group and the pool extremely clean and good, both for adults to swim and children to play, under supervision. Gigi and Pat were very friendly, and quickly solved any problems. A car is recommended because many nearby places are worth visiting. However, a shop and a bakery plus the village itself are within an easy (10-30 min.) reach on foot or bike."

| "This fabulous villa is set amidst a large well kept garden and features a wonderful clean swimming pool which given the perpetual heat was a god send.
The accomodation was clean and spacious, close to a supermarket and very welcoming. The pool table indoors also provided our children with hours of endless entertainment. The villa owners live on site, although you only see them when you need something and proved to be the perfect hosts. I would have no hesitation in recommending this villa to future takers."

Local shops and supermarket very good too.
Had a great week - villa very spacious and comfortable for 8-10 people.
Used fans to keep cool at night without a problem (no air-con, in keeping with most in area)"

| "Nice Villa, with a lovely garden and great pool (which was kept very clean). The garden and pool were both very safely enclosed - perfect for families with young children.
The only major drawback for us was the mosquitoes. As it is a woody area and with a small river beside, there were thousands of them (and all their little relatives ).
We really feel that screens are needed on all the doors and windows. Because we had to keep the doors/windows shut all the time, the house was like an oven ( As no AC and fans are not enough! )
Patrick and Gigi were very nice and helpful and sorted out any little queries/problems immediately."
