We had a super time and loved your house in Sainte Maxime. We have stayed in a number of Holiday Villa’s and this was definitely our favourite. Beautifully presented and maintained , very well equipped and obviously the location is great. Thank you very much. Derek, July/August 2018
We are now home in Australia. We very much enjoyed staying in your house. The location was perfect for touring the region: we visited villages, vineyards and seaside towns. We loved Mèze in particular and the beach at Sète. It was very relaxing to come back to the house and cool off with a dip in the pool before dinner. We found the location of the house was very peaceful, but ideal for its proximity to Pèzenas. We would have no hesitation recommending your lovely home to our friends. Thank you again for letting us stay. From the Guest Book July 2018
The villa was superb, very spacious, comfortable and luxurious, and was everything we expected. The villa is situated in an excellent location from the beach, but also for the town and lovely restaurants. This villa is of the highest specification and quality and we would highly recommend it.
The villa was beautiful, very well laid out with excellent facilities, it had everything you could think of for an excellent holiday, and the pool area with the bar and barbecue area was great . We really enjoyed our holiday and would definitely recommend this villa for a family holiday. Mrs Y, South France Villas client July 2018
Spacious villa with a great range of facilities. Magnificent views of hills and Grasse. Great host who communicates when required.
Villa Chenet was exactly what we (my husband and our two sons aged 14 and 11) were looking for, as it conveys the feel of a comfortably appointed home with many personal touches and captures the very essence of a holiday in Southern France. Our family has thoroughly enjoyed the time spent here and we are very much hoping to return in the not too distant future.
As my husband and I had to keep up with work, the very efficient WiFi really helped in getting everything done quickly, so as to enjoy the rest of the day in the beautiful surrounding area, if it was spending time at the nearby beach (la Napoule), the fabulous restaurants all around or the golf course.
It was the best time enjoying this stunning house in the afternoon by the sparkling blue pool with olives and a glass of crisp white wine, taking in the view and enjoying a swim with the kids, who practically lived in the pool. Night time, after dinner swimming, was also our favourite past time. The garden and pool was beautifully lit up to set a calming mood.
Thank you to the Property Manager, for being patient on the first day with the key handover, it was an absolute pleasure dealing with your kind and patient nature and for keeping this beautiful villa, we wished was ours, so spotless and well maintained.
The garden with all the flowers…a dream.
Thank you to the Owners for your efficient, kind and informative e-mail correspondence, your welcome phone call, when we arrived and the amazing files you put together with soo much information about everything, the house, the area, restaurants, places to visit, shopping and so much more. It was of really great help to us.
We wish that we could meet one day, maybe even the next time that we are going to be back.
What a truly special holiday, thank you so much! Susanne and Family, June 2018
Seven of us had the most magical week-long stay at the Maison Minervois. The house is gorgeous, with ancient walls but modern appliances and comforts. The town is charming and quiet, but just a short drive from many sites and activities. Andre was there to answer any questions and to provide assistance at a moment’s notice. The pool is clean and a lovely sanctuary on hot days. We were enchanted by the “indoor-outdoor” living spaces which crated a very open feeling and could be accessed through glass doors. This house is truly unique and special, we hope to return some day! Clea and family - July
Lovely house with spacious garden and pool. We couldn't have enjoyed our stay more! The house was even nicer than in the pictures, with lovely Provencal style decoration, spacious garden and large heated pool. A perfect house for families with school aged kids who love swimming. The small, idyllic village of Plan-de-la-Tour was only 1 km from the house. We went there every morning for baguettes and croissants, and can also recommend its restaurants Déjà Vu and Tour de la Plan. Also Sainte Maxime was close. We'll definitely come here again! Special thanks to Property Manager who was very helpful during our stay. E, June 2018
Very good set up...lovely bathrooms, huge TVs, great pool and hot tub with spectacular views.
"We were blown away by this grand house because it felt like a home - a place oozing
the history of a talented family through a treasure trove including books, paintings, a grand piano and a main kitchen with more pans than you’ll find in a cook shop. It goes without saying everything, from the bathrooms to the chic decor, is top-notch.
There was ample space for the ten of us to chill out or gather in the fabulous sitting room or one of the terraces, where we had most of our drinks and meals while the birds sang and the wind rustled through the trees. Pure bliss!
The heated saltwater swimming pool, where in the distance the Pyrenees beckoned, was a real treat. We enjoyed strolling around the beautiful landscaped gardens and were wowed every time we came across the blooming blue rows of tall agapanthuses
I could have stayed put at Mas Catalan for the whole of our holiday. It is a magical place with a calm vibe that makes you forget the world outside.
However, as it is so close to the sea and other places like the cherry capital Ceret we did venture out and enjoyed our trips, including one crossing the Spanish border.
The only thing better than a week’s holiday here - would be two weeks!"
*A special thanks must go to the caretaker, Andrey, who dealt with any of our queries quickly and courteously.

...the house was really, really lovely and everyone enjoyed something – pool was biggest wow factor for me. Philosophy books, grand piano, fascinating artefacts and art, the history of this very interesting family and lovely reading areas, excellent cooking utensils , easy to get to places. House had a lovely life force.....Nre, July 2018
The villa was comfortable and well equipped. Secluded situation. Beautiful gardens and a large swimming pool. Excellent for families with children. The caretaker Fernando was very helpful on many occasions. Mrs B, South France Villas client July 2018

Great host lovely chateau. Was as described not in mint condition but really great space. Loved the pool area and tennis court. Vineyard walks around the area. Great holiday. Mr L June 2018
The villa was beautiful- clean, spacious, well equipped and in a good location. It was perfect for our family young and older. The pool was kept so clean and the different spaces around the pool for sunbathing or cooling down in the shade was fantastic. We made great use of the barbeque and the little fella loved the playroom. The town of Marseillan is a lovely typical French town. We found it friendly and had lots of nice places to eat. It was also a good base for exploring the area- we took some trips to sete, mèze, and the wine making country side. Our hosts were lovely too. Our only recommendation for improvement would be to change an extra bedroom downstairs to a double. We would love to return and will definitely recommend to others.

Villa HE093A Myself and a group of friends are just back from a week in this wonderful villa. The villa was wonderful. Spotlessly clean and very well equipped with everything you can possibly need. Philippe, the owner is a fantastic host. The bread cheese and wine he left for us on arrival was totally unexpected, but very enjoyable. He also provided us with croissants for breakfast twice during the week. The villa is very spacious and is ideal for families or groups of friends. It is ideally situated, as there are lots of places to visit within a 20-30 minute drive. I would definately recommend this villa. Anne. visited May 2018
The villa was terrific! Immaculate and comfortable in every way! The kitchen is beautifully kitted out, albeit a bit dark, and really had anything a 'chef de cuisine' could wish for. We mainly ate in as my one son is vegetarian and we really were lacking for nothing as far as utensils, gadgets etc were concerned.
On the last day we met the owner, with her team of cleaners. Mme is charming and it is she who is responsible for the interior design (she's an interior decorator). There are some very stylish pieces in the villa.
All in all a great success!
A big thank you to all at South France Villas! It really was a pleasure to deal with such a pleasant and highly efficient team.
Fabulous villa. Everything that it said it was and more. Great customer service, very prompt with returning emails and answering questions. Mr N, South France Villa's Client June 2018
We rented this villa for a week and were not disappointed! Everything is very well organised by the owner who answered all our questions and did all he could to make our stay most enjoyable. The villa is lovely, clean and has been renovated with great taste. To have a heated pool is a real plus, especially when the sun decides not to shine - jump in with eyes closed!
