AM22 - We had a lovely time at the villa - it was a great property. Thank you for your assistance in arranging the property rental! We're already talking about renting again next year!! Genevieve, September 2011
H71 - We had a wonderful holiday at the Domaine de la Deveze. The house was lovely and the location very tranquil and relaxing tucked away from the main roads but yet very near to our favourite villages. The owners were also very welcoming and made us feel very at home. I would definitely recommend the Domaine de la Deveze, I think this has become one of our favourite houses! We will definitely look to rent it next year! Marie, July 2011
AM26 Villa Reva I can recommend this house as a good quality property with a lovely garden in an excellent neighbourhood and location. The owners were very nice. Marina - July 2011
We have just returned from France and during our time there we stayed at A16 in Peyriac de Mer. Mas Ferrier, from August 13th to 20th. I would just like to tell you what a wonderful place it is, and it is just as your advertising describes it. The house, pool and gardens are delightful and in immaculate condition. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and would recommend it to anyone. The owners were there to meet us and explain everything and were a very nice couple. Thank you for organizing it for us and we look forward to using your services again. Many thanks and kind regards Jack & Dee Miles, August 2011
VU14 Saumane - A fantastic house with stunning views through the valley and a perfect sun terrace to dine at whilst the sun goes down. Kids really enjoyed the children's bedroom and of course the beautiful swimming pool. Olivia, August 2011
You guys (Nicky and Yvonne) are fantastic! You've been a tremendous help from beginning to end. Your professionalism in negotiating with the villa owner to assisting with money wiring was superb! I will definitely continue to use your services and refer them to fellow agents. Thanks again! Loren J Adams, CTA, DS, Certified Destination Wedding and Honeymoon Specialist, USA, July 2011
VU16 The Cypresses It was a wonderful location and a great wedding day. We couldn't have asked for more. It was so nice dealing with you for all the arrangements and I certainly plan to get in touch again for our next visit. All the best, Melanie :) Melanie Love, June 2011.
Just thought I would let you know how impressed we were with the Villa, H44 Les Rocailles. Really lovely people who we managed to communicate to with a little French and a little English - it is not often a holiday villa exceeds expectations, but this one definitely did. With it's garage being perfect for my car as well there was nothing not catered for and even an excellent beach restaurant within walking distance! Many thanks, Regards. John Kelly, June 2011.
This just a short note to express our complete satisfaction with VR3 Villa Chenet which was not only a beautiful and well cared for property, but also in a most peaceful location, we were absolutely enchanted with the sheer beauty of the surroundings with the only sounds being from the birds and the frogs at night, I am a keen photographer and for me this was heaven, my mother-in-law who is 89 had a swim every day in the spotlessly clean pool as did all the group. We certainly intend to return again. Tommy Kelly, May 2011
The house VU14 Saumane was the perfect Provençal get-away for our extended family. With six bedrooms and five bathrooms, our party of 12 was very comfortable the entire stay. The setting is beautiful and the house is so charming. Each evening we prepared a family meal, and played games in the living room with the chimney to warm us. During the day, we made small trips to the beautiful surrounding villages. It was a perfect week! Coop, January 2011
Dear Yvonne, Just a note to tell you how Tricia and I got on down at H44 Les Rocailles, we did want to put comments on your website but couldnt work out how to so I would very much like you to add ours to the others, we did tell the Owners that we would so dont let me down :)
The villa lived up to all our expectations, more so because as well as charm and beauty it retains a huge sense of homeliness, a very comfortable feeling. The family greeted us as if we were returning family friends, so welcoming and nothing was too much trouble for them. Everything about the holiday was wonderful and we would definitely return.
I thought I was going to have to prise Tricia out with a crowbar and she got all tearful saying thanks to Madame and then Madame got tearful ... !!
Kate Potter, October 2010
A brief note prompted by the return of our holiday photos. H44 Les Rocailles was a dream - the best beach, best views, fabulous barbeque area. If I have a criticism it's that your photos - nor ours - do it justice. To walk through the front door and see the sun sparkling on the Med is a sight I won't forget in a hurry - or to wake up in the morning to that amazing view across to the Pyrenees! The owners were so kind and helpful as well. All in all our best holiday yet. Thanks for the prompt and efficient service - we'll be back.
Chris & Elaine Humphris, September 2010
Dear South France Villas Team,
I do not want to miss this chance to thank you and the property owner of AM14 Bastide de la Seillans for the kind attentions and hospitality showed to me and my family from the very moment of our arrival. My appreciation is that pictures published in the web page do not show in full all the comfort and beauty of the house, environment and surroundings. Both, the house and your attentions, made us to spend marvellous days and we're thankful for that. With best regards,
Arturo Fischman, Chile, September 2010
We have just returned from a week's holiday here at H44 Les Rocailles and we had the most fabulous time. Every aspect of the house and garden has been carefully thought out and no detail is too much trouble. It is fully equipped and beautifully decorated. Comfy beds, great showers, big sofas, amazing outdoor eating area, a lovely garden and the fabulous beach is on your doorstep. The owners were charming and helpful. There is a great market every day in the nearby town as well as all the shops, bars and restaurants you could need. We forgot we had a car – just using the on site bikes or walking. Everything is nearby and it is truly brilliant. We will be back for sure. Thank you so much!
Kate Perry, September 2010
Our stay at the AM6 Villa EzeVilla Eze was wonderful. We were well looked after by the keyholder who informed us fully about the house and the area. The view is breathtaking! We will not hesitate to recommend this villa. Thank you.
Nicole Babin-Bain, Sept 2010
We had a great time staying at H61 La Bagatelle and would love to come back next year! The house exceeded our expectations in every way, and it made for a perfect honeymoon. The owner was very friendly and helped us to get our bearings on arrival. Thanks again for the great service! Jo Phenna, Sept 2010
We are back in the USA after a wonderful week in Provence. Thank you very much for the use of your lovely home Saumane ref VU14. The accommodations were perfect, the location impeccable, and the weather was gorgeous. We did, indeed, take the kayak trip you recommended and thoroughly enjoyed it. You are fortunate to have such a wonderful getaway! T.Jorden, USA, August 2010
Saumane ref VU14 is a stunning house in a stunning location. The living areas and bedrooms provide a cool, beautifully furnished and relaxing environment while the sun terrace offers a lovely view over the pool to the medieval village of Saumane. Also great walking country within minutes of the front door.
T. Owen, July 2010
I have just come back from my family holiday at Domaine de Beausejour ref H28 and wanted to let you know that we had a fantastic holiday. The house and surroundings were absolutely beautiful and really lived up to the descriptions and photos on your website (the driving instructions were brilliant also!). Madame de Reilhan was very friendly and helpful and I only hope that she thought we were good guests! It really was a fabulous holiday and I wanted to thank you very much for all your help with the booking and for answering all my endless questions! We have been inspired to get together for more family holidays in future so may well be trawling through your list of properties again some day! You made the whole process really painless and trouble free. With many thanks and best regards, Susan and family, August 2010
Just a word of congratulations on your intelligent presentation of information, I have been searching sites for a week and you are the only one with a full calendar view of all properties, it was a pleasure, thank you once again.
Jeanette Chapman, July 2010
We had a brill time and the villa was great. H11 Villa Ramistan
Tracy Byrne, July 2010
Again thank you most sincerely for organizing our holiday in Peyriac. We loved the house it was the perfect peaceful retreat for all the family including Juliet, our grand-child (3 months). The owner was so accommodating even to the extent of organizing dinner on our first night as we arrived very late, ( I recommend the restaurant La Cave De Theo in Sigean). The house is in a perfect location if you want to be away from it all - no neighbours and lovely views. It was home from home for us except it was France with a lovely pool, gardens, lavender, vines, great fish in Narbonne and endless places to visit. Kind regards,
Ann Ryan, June 2010 A16 Peyriac-sur-Mer
Can I just say I have found my whole experience with your company absolutely fantastic and so friendly, from beginning to end, I would have no hesitation in using you again or recommending you to friends - a minor issue whilst on holiday was dealt with within minutes and I have never had to wait for a response from you. Billie-Jo Maynard, June 2010 H47 Chateau St Marthe
Just a note to say that we very much enjoyed the villa. The weather was fantastic. The owners were very nice and very helpful. H44 Les Rocailles
Trevor Sampson, June 2010
The villa was superb and the Property Manager who takes care of it was one of the nicest chaps that I have ever met and he really took care of us, please mention this to the owner as it is very rare to find someone so kind and accommodating. I would add that the property was spectacular, the views are breathtaking and the location is perfect and central for the whole region.
Greg Lawson, June 2010 AM4 Le Castelette
I'd just like to say we had a great time in the two holiday villas, so thanks for a great job there and to both our host families/people who were very hospitable and pleasant! H1 La Maniere and H61 La Bagatelle
Sophie and Doug Chadd
Just a short note to say we really enjoyed our holiday at Les Rocailles, the villa was the nicest we have ever stayed in with wonderful views from both the lounge and master bedroom. The owner's were very welcoming and the villa was equipped with everything you could need and more - we would definitely recommend it to everyone. H44 Les Rocailles Many thanks !
The Hiscott Family, June 2010
Just wanted to drop you a line to say Thank you for everything. We had a super stay - the house was great and the owners very friendly and accommodating. The weather did hold so no rain and the kids still ventured into the pool a couple of times. A little windy but all in all a super long weekend. Hopefully we can book with you in the future - for our next weekend away! H20a La Terrasse Take care, best wishes Jacqui Bakhai, May 2010
When we came up with the idea to go s/c, organising the flights & car etc & I just wished we'd found yourselves a bit sooner. The property we stayed in was out of this world & the owners couldn't have been more helpful. I'd been to Paris a few times, but the quietness of the Languedoc region was just...I can't describe it...breathtaking – you really felt that you were in France, as opposed to being in MacDonald's on the Champs Elysees. Very few people could speak English, which suited us & we just came away feeling that wed discovered France. I still dream of the beach at Narbonne. Another thing we like was how easy it was to book through yourselves. The thought of booking a French villa was a bit daunting, but it was just so easy through yourselves with internet & email. My only trouble was, wheres the catch? Theres got to be one! James Docherty H1 La Maniere
What an amazing week! This house is a true haven. The thought and care put into the incredible restoration made itself clearly evident in all the beautiful details. We are finding it hard to imagine how you can possibly share your home! We had only one day of clouds, but even then did our best to make an appearance poolside. We voted without a shadow of a doubt that returning is absolutely in the cards in the future. Tthank you so very much - with a great big Canadian bear hug for sharing your beautiful , thoughtful hide-a-way haven with us! Love and gratitude! Signed : Family Whitehead - Hollie, Paaren, Teresa, Doug, Julia & Mark and Simone October 10 - 17, 2009 AM14 Bastide de la Seillans
I have a horrible feeling that I have never written to thank you all so so much for all you did to make our holiday at H38 Domaine du Golf in September such a marvellous success! We all absolutely adored it, everything was utterly perfect and we loved the house. I would like to think we might return one day. You have all been such lovely people to talk to and it has been a pleasure to take the house through you all. You have all been incredibly helpful and patient and I just want you to know how much we all appreciate all you did to make our holiday such a success. We shall certainly come back to you another time and I am already recommending you to others. With best wishes and renewed thanks and gratitude Victoria Petley, September 2009
Thanks to Lucien and Alissa from South France Villas for another lovely holiday at H39 Domaine St. Suzanne. We had a great mini-break here from England at the end of the summer. Lovely villa and pool. Great setting. Love to come back next year with our family. Nick & Carole, West Sussex, August 2009
I wanted to write to thank you for letting us use your beautiful house for the week, H57 Villa Aqua . The entire family had a great time and the pool, just by the beach, made us forget all the hours we have spent in the car searching for the perfect beach!!! Everything went really well .... thanks again, kindly,
The Canning Family, August 2009
On behalf of our family, we have had a fabulous time. Fantastic weather, a great host in Lucien and a gite, H39 Domaine St. Suzanne that was beyond our expectations. Ben (10) and Olivia (9) had to be dragged out of the pool every day. We shared the gites with our friends who also had a fab time.
The Trace Family, August 2009
Just a quick note to say thank you for helping to give us such a great holiday. The house was simply magnificent and coupled with the weather, food, people and scenery made for a wonderful 10 days. Johnathon and his mother were very helpful and made us feel welcome. Many thanks again and when we next go to France we will contact you first. John Rodway, August 2009, H51 La Couvent
Just a feedback note. Thank you so very much for helping us. We stayed at the beach villa in Rochelongue August 15-22, and had a wonderful time. So beautiful. Our photos convey the message better than words! We enjoyed day trips to nearby Montpellier and Carcasonne as well, and it was just brilliant. I could not really express this to Madame Pourcel (the owner) very well, but I hope that you can convey my thanks. Regards. Michael Sutherland, August 2009 H05 Rochelongue
A fantastic holiday - swimming, relaxing, bbqs. The children were very happy - and the parents too! Merci Lucien pour des vacances superbes!!!
The Wilsons, August 2009, H39 Domaine St. Suzanne
Just a note to say how much we enjoyed our stay and how welcoming and helpful Reme and Simone were. The location was excellent an a great base for touring. Gwyn, August 2009 H29 La Garenne
Our accommodations were fabulous - air-conditioning, pool and very well appointed kitchen. We were impressed with the hosts and our surroundings. This is one place we'd like to travel back to in a couple of years….fabulous!
Many thanks, Diane and Dwayne Stewart, Abbotsford, BC Canada, July 2009
H29 La Garenne P.S. Of note for your company is the very professional way we were dealt with and the quick responses to our emails. It was great to have a company to deal with that was legit (always a concern) with great communication. Thank you!!
We would like to say how much we enjoyed Villa Eze, and that it was as perfect as we imagined it could be for our vacation with our friends. The location, privacy, and amenities, as well as the property manager, made our stay perfectly enjoyable and comfortable. We would highly recommend this particular Villa as the premier in the area. The Villa is fabulous and the property manager was very attentive, as well as the Owner who was kind enough to call a couple of times,Villa Eze ref AM6 - Family Filas, July 2009
What a great villa,H39 Domaine St. Suzanne. We have had 2 fantastic weeks here. The kids thoroughly enjoyed the pool. Lucien is a great host - helpful, friendly and unobtrusive. Even though we speak virtually no French ad Lucien no English, we were able to communicate OK. All Lucien's recommendations were great - the market at St. Chinian on a Sunday was excellent. We enjoyed many fine wines in the evenings and the BBQ got lots of use! Thanks for a nice holiday, The Higgins & Mason families, July 2009
Having now been back from our vacances for some 2 weeks I thought I would write to express my complete satisfaction with the property, our host and hostess the weather etc.etc.etc. It was a really fabulous holiday and Les Rocailles has got to be one of the most beautiful and perfectly postioned properties in France. ..... The villa was equipped with everything one could possibly want to make for a perfect holiday even down to a set of scrabble - having played numerous times we had to buy a set on our return to the UK to continue the tournament. A la retour j'espere! Les Rocailles ref H44, Graham Cheetham, June 2009
We really did feel the villa was superb in every way. The hosts had set it up to make our stay perfect. We had everything we needed and actually ended up choosing to spend most of our holiday in the villa relaxing. It was wonderful and more than just a place to stay. In addition the service of your staff from making reservation, taking payment to helping us retrieve our long lost stuffed toy that got left behind was beyond expectation. You guys are top notch. Thank you for making our holiday a great experience. Thank you so much..... Everyone is happy. What a nice stay and what personalized service. Made us really feel at home. Everything was perfect. Thank you so much..... Everyone is happy. What a nice stay and what personalized service. Made us really feel at home. Everything was perfect. Les Rocailles ref H44 Susan Lynn, June 2009
Just a quick note to say a huge thank you for your help and organisation of our holiday. We had a truly fabulous week, and the weather was just amazing! The house is great - it really worked well for the two families. .....All in all it was a great base for a great holiday, and we would reccommend it highly to others....it is a really impressive property .......and I think it would be worth mentioning that the house is totally secure (i.e. young children can't escape) with remote-controlled sliding gate entrance, parking in under-house garage, and lockable gate to beach. It is completely private, and the area around the property is nice and quiet too. H59 L'Oceane May 2009, Ms Goodwin
Oh my God! My first perfect accommodation that actually exceeded expectations!! What a fantastically well thought out property. What a location. Fantastic staff that actually do what they say they will, including you guys, the pool guy, the caretaker. :). If Carlsberg made Villa Holidays!!!!!! Yeh from the Magnano's H36 Villa Arelle Adrian Magnano and family, October 2008
Delightful setting, friendly people, beautiful house... We had a wonderful time in Provence and enjoyed it very much. VU12 Mas Madeleine
N.D. and S.R. USA and UK
Having returned for some weeks now, I wanted to let you know that we very much enjoyed our week at Les Muriers near Gordes. Your web site information was very accurate and provided a good snapshot of the cottage. Les Muriers was in a great location and we had a wonderful time exploring the delights of Provence in summer. I would have no hesitation in recommending South France Villas to others...Les Muriers ref VU7 Mrs Watson, July 2008
We cannot begin to thank you enough for such a magical week in Caromb. Mas Saint Siffren is truly a treasure - our week in Provence was enchanting ... every moment. "Votre livre" was most helpful and we appreciate the time you took to provice it (we read it every day before our daily adventures). We look forward to returning.VU11 Mas Saint Siffren C.T.B USA
'Vielen Danke' for the champagne - it's in the fridge and ready for our meal tonight! The beach house Villa Tamarisk, Ref H24 is lovely, we are enjoying our honeymoon week here .... Steve & Ann Penson, August 2008
Thank you Madeleine and Damien for a wonderful week in Provence. It's a lovely area and the daily markets of lots of fun and a great experience. Your house is a stunning holiday home and ideal place to base a family for a stay in Provence. VU12 Mas Madeleine M.T UK
I just thought I would write to say that we had a fabulous time at La Maniere Ref H 1 and how super Remy and Simone were. They were warm and friendly and couldn't do enough to make us feel welcome - even cooking us a paella one evening! It really is a marvellous site and we would be interested in booking it again for next year ... Jean Cameron, August 2008
Our family throughly enjoyed our one week stay. We loved your house and our grandmother spent a lot of time in your pool... even our boules game improved, the village has all the facilities and very good restaurants. Caromb is in the hub of the wheel location a great position for touring without too much driving. Thanks again and warmest regards. VU11 Mas Saint Siffren H.L.C. NZ
We got back from holiday on Saturday and I just had to write and say 'thank you' for recommending and assisting with the booking the holiday. It was just amazing!! The villa is set on the outskirts of a remote village with no neighbours overlooking. Out of the kitchen window there were fields and mountains in the distance and lying beside the pool you were surrounded by vine yards it was total bliss. The owners Mr & Mrs Guinet were charming and very helpful both when we arrived and when we left So thank you again for a very restful, peaceful holiday in a fabulous location. I don't think we would have found a villa so perfect even if we'd tried ourselves. Anita & Lekh, August 2008, Bergerie du Thou Ref H37
Hello Alissa, we just wanted to tell you that our week in the Chateau de Navarre Ref H46 was absolutely wonderful. It is a superb place and the funishings and facilities are excellent. We all loved the little village of Montblanc and it was so handy being able to pop out and buy fresh croissants and baguettes each morning from one or other of the local bakers (we alternated to be fair) and fresh fruit and veggies from the little shop a few meters from our gate. I don't think we could have been happier. Thank you for all your help" Greg & Jill, July 2008
Merci, merci, merci. Thank you for your very beautiful house. VU11 Mas Saint Siffren L.A.G. USA
Just a quick note to thank you for our villa. It was all that you promised and more. The situation was perfect and the owner very helpful. Highly recommended. Well done!! Mas de Boussagues Ref H34, Roy, July 2008
We just wanted to send a quick email to say a BIG thank you for a really fantastic holiday. The property Marrakech Ref M01 was absolutely grgeous and Zohra was wonderful... is there any way you can pass on our thanks, best wishes and a big kiss from Amye (our 2 year old) to her? The sun didn't stop shining and the pool was a huge hit! Thanks again for your pre trip help - it was very much appreciated! Emma Barnes, July 2008
Your attention and passion for detail and decoration is excellent and the "complete guide to Provence" house book is excellent like a local library. Thanks again we hope to return and recommend others to stay 2 weeks. Cheers. VU12 Mas Madeleine I.S.T. NZ
Alissa, just to say we had a fabulous holiday at La Garenne, gorgeous villa. We really enjoyed the two weeks although the weather was a bit mixed! M and Mme Guippert were very hospitable despite my rusty french! La Garenne Ref H29,
Ann and Kevin, June 2008
We are delighted to be returning to the villa, it's a wonderful house - a real home from home Fiona McGoran, June 2008, Villa Tamarisk, Ref H24
Just a quick email to say what a fantastic time we're having in the villa. The owners are so friendly, the property & pool are out of this world and we've just fallen in love with the area! Only thing we could complain about is we've only booked 1 week! Many thanks La Maniere, Ref H1,
Mr & Mrs Docherty, June 2008
Myself and my friends got back from our week in Beziers on Saturday and I just wanted to drop you a line to say what a wonderful holiday we had. Everything was perfect, nothing was too much trouble for Remy, the house was amazing and the photos really don't do it justice as to how beautiful it is. I shall be recommending it to everyone and it's very much on all our lists of 'somewhere to come back to' - hopefully next year if we can arrange it. So thankyou to you and all the team. Domaine du Golf ref H38, Katie Allen, June 2008
We would like to say that the villa was superb. We regularly take villa holidays in Southern Europe, especially France, and we can confidently say that this villa holiday was the best we have had so far. The location, facilities, weather fortunately, and the friendliness of the owners, Msr and Mdm Santamaria, were excellent and we would strongly recommend the villa to other discerning villa holidaymakers. Thanks for your help and if we decide to visit France again in the future we will certainly use you company". Les Rocailles ref H44,
John, Susan, and Lucinda Wherret , June 2008
We are enjoying our vacation immensely. We are having a wonderful time in your house. Everything is so well organized and thoughtfully arranged - we love it!!! Marita Hobson, June 2008, Villa Tamarisk, Ref H24
Just to say we had a fabulous holiday at La Garenne, gorgeous villa. We really enjoyed the two weeks although the weather was a bit mixed! M and Mme Guippert were very hospitable despite my rusty french". La Garenne ref H29 Ann, June 2008
We've just returned from our week in paradise. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your help, everyone I spoke to at SFV's was incredibly efficient and helpful. The villa was exceptional and the service from your company, was fantastic. Madame Pourcel was very helpful and kind. The group of 8 of us agreed we could not have asked for anything more. And we are already considering the Marakech villa for next years holiday! Jennifer Pearson, May 2008 Rochelongue ref H05
We would like to say what a wonderful time we have had in the very well appointed villa in Caromb. Mas Madeleine ref VU12 The "house book" in English was absolutely invaluable for making the very best of such an incredibly interesting area of France. ....Thank you again. I hope we have the opportunity to return in the future. We also applaud you on your company's professionalism and the swiftness we were able to organise our holiday, at such short notice. house is not only charming with a special Provencale feel but it has all the top quality modern amenities you really like but hesitate to say you need on a holiday. We loved the 'feel', comfort and artistic touches. The outside area around the pool was just wonderful with Mount Ventoux, snowcapped in the background. We had to have WiFi, for business purposes, which as you are aware, seems to be absent from most French apartments, villas or for that matter hotels. Knowing our car was safely housed in a locked up garage was also important.We never had any problems. They came, checked the pool without us ever being aware of their presence. Madeleine and Damien are without doubt the most charming couple. Madeleine has compiled the most fantastic "House Book" with innumerable, detailed places to visit, markets, and things, strenuous or not, to do for any age. We just wish we'd paid greater attention where she recommended to eat! We would love to return some time in the future. I will not hesitate to recommend the villa to friends and familly. We also applaud you on your company's professionalism and the swiftness we were able to organise our holiday, at such short notice. Au revoir, Rochelle and Philip Evans, May 2008
I recently rented your property VU12 (Mas Madeleine) in Caromb, France. Wanted to say that the property exceeded our expectations, was in pristine condition, and our stay was fabulous. The area is so quaint and very charming. The landlords may definitely use me as a reference if they need to. By the way, I do plan to return! I forgot to mention that I plan to use South France Villas whenever I can. The service levels were supreme. Elaine, 2006
