About this property

Our house is located at the head of a valley, facing south with views for miles towards The Massif des Maures and the coast. It sits in a tranquil position in 16 acres of its own land, yet is a short distance (1km) from one of the more beautiful villages in Provence. It has been lovingly and stylishly converted to a very high standard while still retaining its original Provençal features. There are high beamed ceilings and travertine floors throughout. The house benefits from a large open plan kitchen living room with a Lacanche style cooking range and open fire. The kitchen spills out through French doors to a large terrace with BBQ. Beyond the terrace is a large infinity pool with stunning views down the valley. There is Sky TV, DVD, wireless internet and ipod speakers.
PLEASE NOTE
**The house is served by a long drive up from the main road, it is un made up in parts so some guests may prefer accessing with a SUV or at least a car with reasonable ground clearance**

Beautiful location

Roomy property in wonderfully isolated spot with great views from pool area. Loved the outdoor amenities and lounging areas, unfortunately the weather didn’t cooperate and we spent most evenings inside. The bedrooms were spacious and there were no queues for the bathrooms. The bright kitchen was good for the chefs in the family but be aware there is no toaster or microwave which would have been handy. We were a party of 7 plus a baby and unfortunately there was only lounge seating for four (at a squeeze) and dining for six. The combustion heater was lovely and well utilised but more comfy seating would have been nice. There were also some issues with cleaning which I have spoken to the owner about and I’m sure will be addressed. Overall a lovely property but for the premium price being charged misses the mark a little.

Don’t Stay Here if You’re American

This is not a good rental property for Americans if you are used to the basic simple comforts of a Hampton Inn. It is poorly represented on VRBO. We traveled with four couples to a wedding in Cotignac. Two of the couples left after the first night, but two of us could not find additional lodging (because there was a tractor convention in town) until the 4th night. We spent the first entire day of our trip, trying to find someplace else to stay. We have reached out to the manager or owner twice, and nobody will respond. List we made while there: NOT a close walk to town. Dangerous walk. Hazardous water conditions in house. Fearful of showering. Poor decor. Uncomfortable and dreary. Messiness everywhere. Terrible mattresses. Poor sheet and thread count Hard pillows. No extra pillows Tired loud fans. No shampoo/conditioner one bar of soap in the house. You have to replace EVERYTHING you use. 1 thin poor quality towel per person. No extra towels. No face cloths No towels for the pool furniture No umbrellas for the pool. Unthoughtful landscaping Outdoor cushions dirty and leaning on a tree. Didn’t bother to set them up. Don’t fit. Thin cushions on outdoor furniture- super uncomfortable. It looks like someone hastily left to rent it and didn’t have a cleaning crew come. No lightbulbs. BYOB Rats scurrying around at night. Ultrasound rodent deterrent under bed. You need a 4WD. Pro: Nice view Nice exterior Nice when you’re in the freezing pool if it’s very hot out.

Amazing view

A lovely summerhouse in a unique location with a fantastic swimming pool. However, access to the house requires nearly a 4x4 vehicle due to the bumpy road. As for the house itself, a proper set of wine glasses would be appreciated. Air conditioning would also have been nice, as the nights are very hot.

Schönes Anwesen am Berg mit Aussicht

Wir haben 2 Wochen zu sechst (2 Familien mit erwachsenen Kindern) in dem Haus verbracht. Das Grundstück ist riesig und hat eine sehr großartige Aussicht in die Natur; das Haus ist sehr schön renoviert und die Zimmer sind freundlich; der untere Bereich wurde von uns nicht genutzt und scheint feucht zu sein; Terrasse und Poolbereich haben eine optimale Anbindung ans Haus; man kann fußläufig den Ort (Cotignac) in 20-30 Minuten erreichen; lediglich der Punkt Sauberkeit/Ordnung könnte noch optimiert werden.

Nice & lonely

Schönes, absolut einsam gelegenes Haus, recht geschmackvolle, einfache Einrichtung. Tolle Verwalter vor Ort. Conignac (ca.35 min Fussweg) ist zauberhaft. Einzige Einschränkung: die auf Fewo angegebene Entfernung zum nächsten Restaurant ist mit 3min Fussweg völlig falsch angegeben und das 4Schlafzimmer im Basement ist für manche etwas zu rustikal. Zusammengefasst ein tolles Objekt für kleine Gruppen in sehr schöner Natur.

October Sun

This grand house just outside bustling Cotignac, is a lovely, calm place to spend some quality time. Set in a quiet, forest valley, up a track from the local village. We had a relaxing time enjoying the views from the terrace and the pool. Also a great base to visit Gorges du Verdon, and local towns and street markets.

2 wunderschöne Wochen mit der Familie in der Provence

Die beiden Wochen im August waren trotz starker Hitze sehr schön. Das Haus war kühl und der Pool immer erfrischend. Alles ist vorhanden, Grill und Tischtennisplatte, in einer wunderbaren Umgebung. Nur das Kellerzimmer ist nicht angenehm. Es riecht muffig und es gibt viele Insekten. Eigentlich kein Schlafraum.

Beautiful location

We have just enjoyed a wonderful week at this property which was perfect for our family. Virginia met us and was very helpful when we first arrived. We read the reviews and hired an SUV which was definitely a bonus for driving to the house. You can’t hear anything apart from nature when you are here. It took about 25 minutes to walk into Cotignac which is a beautiful/buzzy village, and where we enjoyed some nights out. We spent a number of evenings in the villa watching the sun set over the hills - completely magical. It took about an hour to the Verdon and a bit further if you want to get to the walking trails. We wanted to stay longer.

Good location but thats it.

The location and pool are stunning, however sadly that's where it ends. The shower upstairs was broken leaving 6 of us ( including an 85 year old and an 80 year old ) to share the ensuit. I asked the guardian Virginia 3 times if this could be fixed to met net with indifference and pathetic excuses for reasons it could not be fixed. In addition the property was not clean, I had to clean the kitchen, showers and the outside furniture. My son had to move beds as he woke up covered in ants on the first night. I appreciate the rural location would mean creepy crawlies but really, a bed covered in ants. Noone clears out the cupboards, so they are full of old pasta, sauces, tins of old food and mayonnaise in the fridge. There were 5 old bottles of suntancream by the sink and moldy cloths and old dirty soap bars. The decking around the pool is dangerous. Its wooden and rotten with nails sticking out. I asked if there were any parasols as the pool is very sunny all day to be told again by Virginia that people sit in the shade ( there was no shade all day) I emailed the owner John the day after we got there and so far have not had a response. The check in times are 4pm and check out is 10am. We did get in at 4ish but again this was begrudgingly, I had requested to get in as near to 4pm as I could as we had elderly relatives with us, the response was ' I'll see what I can do'. I was asked to leave by 9.30am when I queried this as it says 10am on the website, again begrudgingly I was told ' I can do 9.45' To quibble over 15 mins when you are paying a significant amount of money to stay is ridiculous. The route up to the house is very rugged, which if you were in a 4x4 would be fine, we aren't precious about our car, it got scratched and bashed about quite a bit, so beware if you are precious about your car. The most disappointing thing is the lack of apology, concern or care of the guardian Virginia. Her responses to my requests for the shower to be fixed were bordering on rude. She couldn't care less if you have a nice stay or not. The night before we were going , I got a text asking me to go at 9.30am when we had agreed on 9.45. My advice is do yourselves a favour and book somewhere that is cared for and not just benefitting from its location.

wonderful place

The house is spacious with typical Provencal charm, it is nicely cool even on a hot day. We were 4 people (2 adults and 2 teenage kids) spending holidays there. The house was very well equipped, we found there everything we needed- dishwasher, washing machine, two big fridges, two coffee makers as well as the French press pots, sufficient amounts of pots, pans, cutleries and other dishes. There were also basic supplies-oil, salt, spices, dishwasher, and washing machine tablets. Tap water is not recommended for drinking, so we bought water barrels in the supermarket. The pool is big, very clean with a beautiful view and fresh water. The location is absolutely stunning, I can not imagine a better place for the holiday house- there is total privacy, nature is untouched, and the view can not be more spectacular. We had a feeling that we are very far away from everything, however, we were 5 minutes driving from Cotignac. The week we spent on John‘s property was very relaxing for all of us and we were captured by the beauty of the place. As regular visitors to Cotignac, we can say that there are not many properties with such a view and the qualities like this, despite the Cotignac and its surrounding is really extraordinary. We would return anytime.

Wonderful house in the middle of nowhere

At the end of a scenic adventurers street (no panic, my 80-year old father did it with his sedan car), there was the beautiful house waiting for us. The kitchen was well equipped and, most importantly, outside was an outstanding gas-operated BBQ-station. The pool with it´s wooden patio waited for a refreshing jump. Right behind the terrace was a great hiking trail leading into the village (30 minutes walk). We enjoyed our stay very much and will come again!

Refuge charmant au calme à entretenir avec un peu plus de soin

La situation du bien est exceptionnel, très calme et en pleine nature. La vue depuis la piscine est stupéfiante. La maison date probablement du 19e siècle et a été rénovée avec goût il y a plus de 15 ans. Tout de même la maison nécessite quelques travaux de rénovation, afin que le charme de la maison puisse être maintenu : P.ex. la sous-construction de la terrasse en bois près de la piscine est complètement pourrie, de sorte que les planches s'enfoncent ; enduits et peintures dans les salles de bain dégradées ; des siphons bouchées dans les douches ; éclairage du jardin et de la piscine défectueux ; plusieurs chaises longues cassées ; coussins du mobilier extérieur délavés. La chambre et salle de bain au sous-sol ne sont pas utilisables à cause de présence d'humidité dans les murs, laquelle dégage une forte odeur de renfermé et de moisi. Suivant mes informations le propriétaire a déjà envisagé d'entamer ces travaux dans un proche avenir. L'installation d'un chauffage dans la piscine serait certainement un plus. De manière générale, le conseil serait de prévoir un entretien un peu plus soigné afin que ce lieu garde son caractère exceptionnel.

Calme absolu dans une maison de caractère

Un séjour parfait dans une maison située près du charmant village de cotignac (accessible en voiture et à pied). Vue imprenable sur le massif des Maures, à couper le souffle. Pas de voisinage, calme absolu. La maison est très bien équipée et les photos sont parfaitement conformes. Connexion wifi performante, pas de clim mais il fait frais la nuit (ventilateurs à disposition), grande piscine à débordement (pas chauffée, 24 degrés en août). Chemin d’accès un peu escarpé mais Virginia nous a accompagnés jusqu’a la maison le premier jour. Propriétaires très disponibles. Location fortement recommandée !!!
