We had a simply terrific time and have already recommended the house to numerous friends, particularly those people who are seasoned travellers and are tired of the regular offerings
(more)The trip was 5 star born again, Liz and Mel were fantastically welcoming, extremely well informed on all aspects of the area and able to provide a very relaxing environment. (more)
A great itinerary with a chance to try out some activities we wouldnt normally get the chance to try. (more)Most memorable? Stunning views from high up in the Parc National de Mercantour, well worth the effort of climbing 1000 metres. Also Liz's home cooking, delish!!!! Wonderful, would like do it all again and probably will before too long.
(more)Most memorable was diving in the warm, clear mediterranian waters with a friendly and professional guide. The driving company went out of their way to make sure we had a memorable trip. (more)It was an extremely enjoyable week. Liz and Mel were great hosts - good company, and could not have been kinder or more happy to help. The accommodation is great, the food super and the location stunning. (more)Successfully navigating our way in and out of beautiful little towns being enthusiastically helped with directions and suggestions for great things to see and do by locals even with our absolute lack of French. (more)
The place itself was idyllic and nothing was too much trouble for the lovely couple who ran it. (more)My wife just loved the fact that the kids enjoyed it and thought that the hotel was marvellous. (more)It is almost impossible to highlight any one part of this wonderful holiday. It was the sheer attention to detail, excellent itineraries and food, thoughtfulness towards clients and generosity of all involved in the organisation, to pass on their considerable knowledge about the area that made it all so perfect. (more)I cycled around bordeaux wine country. The scenery was spectacular and the atmosphere was breathtaking. (more)Most memorable was cycling up Mont Ventoux. Wow! Its tough, very tough, but worth the effort. Particularly nice to have a really fabulous hotel at the bottom to relax afterwards. (more)
Our room was a good size, air con (we were there in August) and clean. The pool was just right too. Location is excellent - far better than being in one of the towns. Meals are eaten outside in the evenings and several (including us) suggested they modified the lighting. (more)
Stunning, unspoilt countryside all around, and surprisingly few tourists for the time of year, (August). A truly eco-relaxed holiday, which we can thoroughly recommend. (more)
I think we chose well; the gite was just what we wanted, beautifully situated... The landscape was the real asset of the region, thickly wooded slopes, ravines and blue skies.
(more)Most memorable was tartiflette eaten by candlelight (cooked by the concert pianist and his wife who run the refuge) and the sound of the river in its rocky bed as we fell asleep. (more)I particularly loved our mountain walk, with spectacular views and carpets of Pyrenean irises, and I think one of the highlights for all of us was swimming in a beautiful mountain lake. (more)
We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
