Memorable parts? Watching the crops being harvested all around on one day. The kids loved to watch the machines at work. Vincent and Sandrine also made us feel very welcome, and invited us to view some planets and the moon through their large telescope. It was incredible to see. Tips? Be aware the local boulangerie is closed on Mondays. There is a lot of information provided in the gite. Read this as soon as possible as it will answer many possible questions, and includes markets... (more)Helen Pare

We really loved swimming in the local river and our trip to Chateau Chenonceau. Vincent and Sandrine were absolutely wonderful hosts and shared some amazing local food with us and we had a very nice evening star gazing with Vincent's telescope! (more)Rory Crowder

(The holiday was) Terrific! The accommodation provided a great base to explore the Loire Valley, and it was great at the end of the day to come home to our little cottage in the countryside. (more)Marie Kelly

Five stars for getting the right amount of things done & rest. The countryside is beautiful, the gite and courtyard were lovely, the hosts wonderful and the chateaux have to be seen at least once in a lifetime. (more)Ilinca Anghelescu

We loved the apartment and listening to the sea. (more)Petrina Brooks

A hike across the amazing Timanfaya National Park led by Jose of Blackstone Treks was the most memorable. (more)Sarah Brocklehurst

The best part was staying in the tiny fishing village of Punta Mujeres and interact with the locals simply by having a cortado or getting a beer with the others. This is the best slow travel I have experienced. Highly recommended, if you want to walk, trek, read, write, have great food and surrounded by simple, kind people. An unforgettable holiday where the pace was slow and the locals very kind including the mini market at Punta Mujeres, the hair dresser and folks at Bar Palenka. (more)Priti Patnaik

Lovely old medieval town, great local food and Villa Nuba is close to town but feels like it is in the country. Villa is well equipped with all necessities including milk & food for a light supper and breakfast when you first arrive. (more)Janet Hawker

I am delighted to highly recommend Villa Nuba. It really was an amazing holiday. But be prepared....leaving it will break your heart! (more)Heather Reynolds

Memorable parts? How quickly we arrived into that timeless moment that we strive for when taking a holiday. Tips? We wanted for nothing. Local benefits? The environmental impact of this particular holiday was as low as possible. Overall rating?

We had a great family holiday; walking, relaxing, exploring and tasting the delights of Italy. (more)Joanne Triffitt

Hard to find one single thing; the place is lovely, the river a wonderful place for swimming and relaxing by - and rafting down, the scenery is gorgeous, the walking brilliant, the people welcoming and friendly. (more)Emma Wakefield

The gite was lovely - for our 18 month old daughter the highlight was definitely the chickens! For us the highlight was being able to open the door to a beautiful, quiet garden and relax while she could safely explore. (more)Emma Harbour

We have lots of lovely memories so it is difficult to single any one thing out. But as we have to choose we would say the beautiful views gardens pool and the charming cottages which provide a wonderful environment in which to relax and also the great welcome and inobtrusive support of the family who built, own and run the estate. (more)Katie Wheatley

Our stay was a unique & happy experience, unlike any previous holiday. While it can be a challenge to get there, the effort is repaid abundantly. It’s an eco-chic vacation in a cottage where everything can be taken care of, according to one’s wishes. One returns refreshed in mind & body. (more)Bryan Parker

Birds, bats, bees, lizards, pine martens, countless types of flowers and olive, eucalyptus and cypress trees blend in with the traditional style houses. We loved the walks around the forest... I could have spent the entire 10 days happily without leaving the estate at all. (more)Chris Kearney

The best experience! (more)Estefania Castillo
