Stephen and Cathy, West Yorkshire: Our stay in ‘Le Paradis’ has been hugely enjoyable. A beautifully restored and furnished house in this lovely village of Lavardens. All the extra touches have made a real difference, the towels for the pool, the very generous welcome pack, the flowers, note pads and pens. We didn’t use the barbeque but it looked very impressive. The lovely pool and very comfortable sun loungers. We missed the shop and brasserie due to their annual holiday but had two delicious meals at the Château restaurant. The people in the village were very friendly, the neighbourhood, the beautiful church and, of course, the Château are not to be missed. A lovely week.

Jenny and Alex, Salisbury: The welcome pack was very well received. The house is bright and uncluttered, the books and DVD’s thoughtful. Poolside towels great. The weather has been amazing and the ‘pool’, just fantastic to cool those over heated limbs! Ian, who owns the property is helpful and friendly, a nice guy.

Mrs Sharman Glanfield: A large luxurious villa, extremely clean and well presented. The owner was extremely helpful and serviced the pool side of things regularly. Bathroom location could be tricky when using all of the bedrooms!
