La Buissonnière

Dear Ms. Apothéloz

We liked the location (quiet yet close to the village centre) and in particular the terrasse that can be changed into a living room by opening/closing the glass doors.
Kitchen and regular living room are quite dark and uninviting but we did not use them because we ate and sat together on the terasse.
The house was very clean and perfectly maintained. The only thing we missed is a Wireless LAN for staying in touch, checking weather forecast, etc.
Overall the house is a 9 out of 10. We might book the house again for next summer again.

Best regards,
Robert W.

Les Echassiers

Dear,

Despite the weather, we’ve enjoyed our holiday in Pertuis.

Very nice accommodation, very warm reception by the manager there, which was as well very helpful in solving the internet problem.

We would recommend the villa to families with adolescents, and it is an excellent starting point for trips with race bicycles.

Only one drawback: the swimming pool is not heated. Admitted, under normal weather circumstances perhaps not needed, but with the temperatures we have been facing, a must.

Kind regards,

Xavier D.

Villa Sanary

Dear Gerlinde

We had a very pleasant stay at the villa. It was clean and very well equipped and was exactly what we expected from the details on the website. The only negative was that it would have been good to have another sofa as there were four of us and it was not practical to all sit on the one sofa comfortably in the evenings together.

The guy that greeted us was very friendly but we do not speak any french so did not understand anything he told us. Although we did manage to agree a departure time and he showed us around the house and how the pool alarm worked.


Regards
Karen & Paul W.

Hello,

The villa was nice and comfortable, and had all the necessary equipment. The season we visited was also suitable i.e. it was moderate climate and not too warm.

The villa was well situated, and within short driving distances to many interesting villages and attractions

Much Thanks,
Karun

Villa Marie José

Madam Apotéloz,
We appreciated a lot the holidays in the villa Marie José. The welcome was very cordial, as well on behalf of the couple of the owners as their appointed person.
The house as well as the pool house were very clean magnificently equipped and well decorated.
So the garden and the pool also could not be better.
We were delighted and return certainly.
Best regards,
Family A

Dear Gerlinde

Did you feel fine there ? Yes
Did you appreciate how you have been welcomed ? Yes
Was it clean there ? Yes
Did you appreciate your lodging and the environment ? Yes - the property was well equiped and very tastefully decorated, and the peaceful relaxing location amongst the vineyards looking towards Mont Ventoux was very pleasant. We were impressed with the villa and this part of Provence and would have no hesitation in booking the same villa again or indeed other properties you have available.

Best regards

La Nougatine

Hallo,
thank you for arrangement and care, please see some notes from my vacation:
- accomodation in both location was nice and comfortable
- service was good
- very friendly and taking care owners

my recemmendation
- lack of "basic equipment for life" - e.g. toilet paper, cleaning soap for dishes (...not expensive, but you have to buy these after your arrival ...) - I am not talking about bath towel and bedlinen
- also publishing "total prize" - in some cases..."end prize" is 1/5 higher, then on offer prize (with tax, cleaning payment, etc. etc.) - also this wasnt problem - discount prize in this last moment offer was good

For sure for us this was very nice vacation, both selected places was really very calm, attractive and nice
Thank you once more

Villa Marie José

Dear Gerlinde;

I am happy to provide feedback. It was one of the best vacation and villa that we ever stayed in. It was modern and I particularly liked the décor.

Here is my feedback on the questions below:

Did you feel fine there ?
Yes, it was so great and peaceful. The caretaker, Stephane made us feel at home. He was friendly and very outgoing.

Did you appreciate how you have been welcomed ?
Yes, very much. France was so beautiful. The people, the food , everything was as I expected.

Was it clean there ?
This has to be the cleanest and nicest villa ever. The owner’s décor has done a great job to make you feel totally at home. I would definitely recommend this villa to my friends and I will like to come back to stay here again. It was fantastic!!

Did you appreciate your lodging and the environment ?
100%. There is nothing to complain about. The ground, the swimming pool, the summer kitchen was like the luxury vacation. Tres bon!

Thanks for making this villa available to us.

Bonjour Gerlinde,

We had a truly wonderful and relaxing time at the house. It was clean, well equipped and nicely prepared – the grass was cut, the pool clean and hygienic etc. The property manager was very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The location, above a classic French village, between the vineyards and the mountain land was perfect for us. We loved the house and it really contributed to a perfect holiday for me, my family and our friends.

Many thanks for your assistance.

Regards, Nigel

Villa Theresia

holidays in VILLA THERESIA May 19 th to May 26 th , 2007

I am sorry we took so long to reply. The property was charming, well
equipped, and clean, and certainly as advertised. The greeter/caretaker,
Daniel, was wonderful. He was very responsive and very helpful when
needed, though he speaks no English which could be a minor problem for
some renters who don't speak any French.

July 14 th to July 21 st , 2007

Dear Gerlinde,

Bonjour a vous aussi! I am happy to provide you with feedback on Clos de la Source. In short, we loved our stay there and enjoyed it very, very much indeed. The location of the house was excellent - a short drive to most things we wanted to do and the view from the house itself of the hills surrounding the village of Cotignac was just stunning. I can still see the view when I close my eyes - it was simply unforgettable.

The house itself had everything as listed on your website, so we were not surprised or disappointed about anything at all. I should let you know that the owner was particularly gracious and generous with us. She learnt that we had young kids around the same age as her grandchildren and left a lot of toys and children's equipment out for us to use. Her kitchen is well-stocked with all the essentials one would need. She also had a number of helpful tips for us on things to do and places to visit, etc. that made our time there more enjoyable. The pool was well-maintained and we spent many hours a day there.

One small suggestion (depending on how many American/non-French speaking you may get) is to provide a English version of the basic instructions about the house and what the owners may or may not want done. It wasn't a problem for us because I speak and understand a little French. But if you have other clients who may not, that may be helpful for them as well as the owners so that there aren't any inadvertent miscommunication. Perhaps you don't get enough non-French speaking clients for this to matter, so it's just for your consideration.

We hope to be back in beautiful Cotignac again and if we're lucky we can stay again at Clos de la Source. We got quite attached to the place. Please pass on my best regards to the owner if you speak to them.

With best wishes, Joyita

Villa Theresia

Hello Gerlinde,

We were all very pleased with your lovely home. I was particularly happy to find it was just as described and pictured, if not better. The house was extremely well equipped, which made our stay both comfortable and easy. Daniel and his wife met us and helped to get us acquainted with the house and its workings.

We found everything in good working order and easy to use.

The eight of us had a wonderful time. We all enjoyed the house, pool, grounds and the beauty of the surrounding area. We all fell in love with Provence.

Thank you for allowing us to stay in your lovely home.

Best regards,

Le Roc Fleuri

Hello,
We were simply delighted by everything: the house, the very nice welcome of the owner, the region.....
The house and its outfittings are really exceptional.
More than this - the weather was of the party.
Thank you
Best regards to you and certainly we'll be back,
Françoise B.

Lou Grangeon

Thank you very much for Lou Grangeon - our vacation was wonderful!
The villa was superb, the location was fantastic, the weather was great and Lidia and Dennis were very nice and sweet!
I will recommend your company to all of my friends and I will definitely use your services in the future.

Thank you once again.

Great location. Very nice house, with original furniture.
Very remote though.

Many thanks for the arrangements and looking forward contacting you again for next summer holidays.

Bonjour Gerlinde!

Thank again for all of your wonderful service, responsiveness and support. It has been a a pleasure to work with your company!

Martha

Hello and thank you for your e-mail.
It was a party of six people who stopped at the Florentine in July this year and all of us really enjoyed our stay.
The owner was very helpful, especially as one person had luggage lost at the airport and he arranged delivery for us.
The villa was very clean, well equipped and had everything we needed.
Both inside the villa and outside everything was to a good standard, and we especially enjoyed the pool which was a good size and well maintained.
The village was well placed for trips around the area and we all had a great time and would visit this area again.

Best wishes,
Anne Robinson

Hello,
our stay went very wel, the owners were available and very helpfull,
no problem, house was great, equipment too, location was nice.
thanks a lot

Emmanuel Onillon

Dear Gerlinde,
We spent a very nice week in .....
The location is perfect, because you can reach the most famous destinations in a very short time, still being out of the confusion.
It is very convenient to be close to a village (one can walk to buy a fresh baguette in the morning), when in the very fascinating Carpentras you find everything you need (including an astonishing patisserie).
The house was better than I expected. We found it very big for 5 persons (2 small boys) but when we have received the visit of a couple from Italy still it was very confortable.
It has a large, nice living room, confortable bed-rooms and a properly accessoriated kitchen. The overall design is good and there's a warm atmosphere. The pool is nicely displaced and definitively refreshing!
Mrs ..... is very nice and helpful.
Most important: you don't feel a stranger.
For the price spent, there's no objections. We would be happy to repeat our experience soon.
Now, someone (not me) may found the following unsatisfactory:
- one bathroom shower was out of order;
- on the groundfloor you have a jacuzzi and a massage shower, that you're not allowed to use - so why installing them?
- the garden, although well kept, is a bit unfinished, I am sure Mr Basset will continue is good job.
- there's a white fence to cover the "wild" part of the garden that is partially fallen down.
Also, you don't really understand who's living in the building besides you - not that you are disturbed by noises or the like, but still you feel you're not alone.
It's time to thank you again.
Saluti,

Lorenzo Coppini

This is interesting news. The new price is very good.
You continue to provide an excellent service. We are thankful.
Kind regards,
David and Thais Priestas

Gerlinde/Jacques,
we've just returned from our week at the above accommodation. We had a wonderful time and the Villa was exactly as described on your website.
We found Monsieur and Madame ...... extremely friendly despite the fact that they spoke little English. My French is fairly poor but I did try!
Many Thanks for the assistance you gave me prior to the holiday.
Regards,
Stuart Rennie.

Dear Gerlinde and Jacques,
Many thanks for your prompt and helpful replies on this 2 houses. Both were strong contenders for the good value on offer, but we have chosen a place in a quite different location for this year. I would like to mention that your website is great - really user Friendly and with excellently detailed information about the properties and their environs. Many thanks for this. We will certainly use your service again and recommend it to friends who also love France but sometimes find the choice too bewildering to navigate! Best wishes,
Carmel Motherway

Greetings,
We wish to commend you on your selection of properties and the presentation on your website. We have rented over sixty properties in Europe during the past six years and have seen many websites, etc... Yours is among the very best.
