South of France rentals with pool

The cottage was absolutely perfect for our trip to Provence. The location was very central to surrounding towns, ideal for sightseeing and relaxing in a beautiful area. The cottage was super clean and cosy, had all the amenities we needed. The host was very welcoming and helpful for recommendations or where to go and eat. Would definitely recommend this cottage for anyone looking for a peaceful getaway to Provence!

Our hosts were impeccable, the breakfast of fresh breads, pastries, jams, eggs served at our time of choice poolside was a delightful way to start the day. A short easy to navigate drive to the Promenade and Old Town made sightseeing a breeze. My husband a cyclist found Bernard also an avid cyclist who willingly took him for a scenic journey above Monaco and Menton for which we are very grateful. We will 100% return to stay here and recommend to all our family, friends and travellers.

Liz and Quintin were delightful hosts and have a fabulous home. We travelled as 4 adults and a 7 month old baby and we had everything we needed in the house, including high chair for baby and a well equipped kitchen for food prep. We spent hours relaxing by the pool, which was the perfect relief from the hot temperatures in the middle of the day. The evenings were extremely relaxing drinking wine and cooking on the charcoal grill on our private terrace. The bakery in Gattieres has delicious croissants, pastries and baguettes for your daily fix. The short drive to Vence and St Paul was particularly lovely, and the beaches and restaurants of Nice were a 20 min drive away. Thanks again Quintin and Liz for the great company and sharing your home.

We loved staying here, it was idyllic and we really appreciated how beautiful the house is. We hope to come back

When we first read all of the reviews on Butterfly Cottage before booking, we thought that they really sounded a little bit "too good to be true". But we have to say they are all completely an accurate description of the property and its wonderful hosts. There really are no negatives! Linda and George, the cottage hosts, are the most helpful and genuine people you will ever meet. From the moment we booked, Linda was in touch with very useful information to help make the trip perfect. She provided suggestions of what to see and do in the area, helpful hints and excellent directions to the cottage from where we were coming from. The Dordogne area is absolutely beautiful! There are so many wonderful places to visit and many were only 15 to 20 minutes away by car. Would recommend canoeing on the river. One of our favourites. The cottage itself is stunning. The pictures on the website are great but it is even better in person. There is absolutely everything that you need in the cottage and lots of personal touches by the hosts that make it special. It makes a very comfortable stay. We had chef Dimitri come to the cottage to cook for us one night. He was amazing and it was truly some of the best french food we had tasted. There is also a larger cottage on the property but both cottages have their own private courtyard and areas and it really feels like you have it all to yourself. Butterfly Cottage is now a very special and memorable place to us, as it was on the grounds of the property (in the jacuzzi overlooking a pretty field) that we got engaged. A first at Les Hirondelles apparently! Thank you Linda and George for the lovely card and bottle of champagne for us to celebrate with. We would highly recommend a stay here! Peter & Katey
