We really enjoyed our stay at this house. It has all the amenities that we needed, We spent very little time in the house because the outside area was so lovely, with lots of seating areas & of course the pool was delightful. The area is peaceful and tranquil but only 5 minutes from Cotignac, with lots of bars and restaurants.

Ein Traum und Wirklichkeit
Ein wunderschönes Haus und ein traumhaft schöner und riesiger Olivenhain. Der noch im Text beschriebene Kamin ist einer schönen großen Bank gewichen. Viele unschöne Dinge hatten wahrscheinlich mit dem Anfang der Saison zu tun. Wir kommen in unser altes Paradies nicht mehr wieder.
Ruhe geniessen nahe des wunderschönen Ortes Cotignac
Wir haben die Zeit sehr genossen. Das Haus liegt etwas ausserhalb von Contignac, ist aber mit dem Fahrrad in weniger als 5 Minuten zu erreichen. Rund um das Haus ist viel Platz und man kann die Ruhe geniessen. Wer Radfahren mag, kommt in der Region auch auf seine Kosten, egal ob Rennrad, MTB, alles ist möglich.
Cortignac ist sehr schön, aber auch TourTour, Le Thoronet, Verdon Schlucht, diverse Orte am Mittelmeer, ... lohnen sich zu besuchen.
Jaques war sehr freundlich und hat uns alles gezeigt.
Heel mooie plek , met een schitterend uitzicht , huis is eenvoudig ingericht, we misten goede stoelen aan de eettafels, het zwembad was mooi en goed onderhouden . Er waren veel persoonlijke spullen in het huis dat vind ik minder prettig .
De stilte en de rust maakten alles goed , de plek is een paradijs
Wir hatten zwei ganz wunderschöne Wochen in diesem besonderen alten Haus. Die Natur, die wunderbare Aussicht, die Abgeschiedenheit bei gleichzeitiger Nähe zu Cotignac, der Pool umrahmt von Olivenbäumen- einfach ein Traum. Wenn man den Charme alter, traditioneller Häuser liebt und die Natur, ist man an diesem Ort genau richtig aufgehoben.
Ankommen, loslassen und genießen!!!
Meine Frau und unsere erwachsenen Töchter haben es sehr genossen. Das Haus hat alles, was man braucht. Es liegt unglaublich angenehm einsam, hat aber eine gute Anbindung an Cotignac (5 Auto Min entfernt), eines der schönsten Dörfer der Provence. Von hier aus kann man alles erreichen. Aussicht, Pool, Sitzmöglichkeiten draußen, Ambiente und Ausstattung, alles top um einen rundum schönen Urlaub zu haben.
Vielen Dank an Sylvie (sehr nett!), bis zum nächsten Mal, Michael
Nous avons passé un super moment dans cette propriété TRÈS calme "loin" de tout les bruits de la vie cotidienne. Un Havre de paix et tranquillité
