A big thank you from all of us for 2 wonderfully happy and relaxing weeks at the "Bastide". We have had a truly fabulous time in your lovely retreat. With thanks to you and best wishes for your family and Sandra. Penny and family, South France Villas Client, July 2014
We travelled from Scotland, Sweden and Oman to have a fabulous holiday at the Bastide. The weather was excellent, apart from 2 days of the summer "Mistral". The house was equipped with everything we needed and the pool was greatly enjoyed by the children. Many thanks. Sandford Family, July 2014
Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with these rowdy Texans. This was a perfect setting to celebrate our 40th Anniversary with our friends. The ambiance, tranquil setting, friendliness and comfortable home (magnificent kitchen and pool area) all contributed to our fun and relaxing stay. We also immensley enjoyed dinner at Bistro Ryon in Lavandou. As the first Texans to stay in your home we are proud to state "Layfayette" we have returned. Laissez les bon temps rouler!Meyer Party, July 2014
As I told the owner, we really liked the house and the area. At first we moved a lot, but after we have enjoyed over the house.
Everything was perfect. Jose, Spain, August 2014
We had a fantastic family holiday in your wonderful Villa. The tennis court was a real bonus and we loved playing tennis morning and evening every day. Hopefully we will return again one day! Gary and Susan, June/July 2014
Can I just say, it was excellent! Lovely Villa, fantastic location, clean, tidy, beautiful. Really impressed by the villa and your business. Thanks and well done. Nigel, South France Villas Client
My client was extremely happy to stay in this villa in Les Issambres!! The owner was also very nice - just so you know.Berit, South France Villas, July 2014
Thank you and your team for assisting us in having a fantastic holiday, it was pure relaxation and luxury. All we can say is that we wish we were still there. Kind regards, Patrick, Australia, South France Villas Client, June
Every good thing has an end (WHY?) and we are all back in UK, after a wonderful short week in your exquisite villa, fantastically relaxed after some tough months...and before 3 days in Marrakech to prepare our youngest daughter's wedding there, in November. Mission accomplie.
And yes, as we read and wrote in your guest book, the villa is perfect and your staff, all four of them, are utterly welcoming and thoughtful, really attentive to any of our desires. A special team indeed. I had a birthday (and wedding anniversary) there, by fluke, and they covered the table with flowers, gave me a dress (lovely!) and a banquet for us all, that fell on our last evening there, hamdullillah...
Discreet and kind Mohammed, talented and obliging Fatima, smiling and totally charming Souad, and, bien sur, ubiquitous Mustapha, looking after us extra well.
All of us speak French (and one of us Arabic) so it was an extra joy for us, and hopefully for them too.
We had a very happy stay, recharging our batteries (delighted at the capricious WIFI, ha ha) and taking in the peace, birdsongs, beauty and variety of the garden, sense of TIME passing slowly...
The only "work" was to...try many Moroccan wines, "for the wedding" !!
So this is to thank you, most of all.
Inshallah.
Merci a tous,
Donatienne and family, UK, South France Villas Client, May 2014
Thank you so much We rented the villa with our family from the UK - we had the best time! All was fantastic! See you soon.Rhiannon and Christian, Monaco, South France Villas Clients, May.
Comments received by the Owner:-
We chose this apartment based on the lovely photographs. However in reality, it exceeded expectations, with its stunning views of the sea and stylish interior. It is in a charming old building with well kept gardens and pool. My husband and I with our two daughters enjoyed the idyllic setting close to great beaches, food markets and jet sking! August is a difficult month to move around, so getting the ferry to St. Tropez is ideal. Hope to return next time in September, but I could not recommend this property highly enough.Guest from Dublin, July 2013
My family spent a week at this beautiful apartment. There was plenty of room for the 4 of us, which included my 11 year old daughter and 15 year old son. Sitting on the balcony and eating croissants in the morning watching the sun sparkle over the Mediterranean seemed like a scene out of a movie! We just kept smiling and asking, how did we get so lucky to find such a beautiful place? The apartment had everything we needed for our week and was conveniently located to the most beautiful beaches, lovely cafes and shopping in Ste Maxime. Day trips to Grimaud and St. Tropez were easy too. The week was so perfect, it still doesn't seem real. We will certainly be back!Alissa F, July 2013
We had such a perfect stay that we have already reserved a week next year. Waking up to blue skies over the bay, a view of the boats and coffee with a croissant was truly heavenly. The flat was clean and well equipped. The grounds are beautiful and the pool was a welcome alternative to the beach. The town of Ste. Maxime is charming with great restaurants and markets. Taking the boat over to St. Tropez for the day is a must. We recommend this property without reservation.Dan, Boston, Massachusetts, June 2013

We have had the most fantastic week with all our children and eight grandchildren. The villa is amazing and the staffs are superb. Would love to come back one day. Guest from USA
A must see . . . if you only stay in one villa this summer, make it this one – Guest from USA
We have travelled the world – And I don’t believe we have ever had a better vacation – the service was Amazing! World Class!!” Guest from UK
This is an exceptional and a very special place on the edge of Atlantic Ocean bay. What is special about this place? The answer is simple – everything!
The location, where ocean waters licking the stairs of the Villa are very warm and friendly. The sand is ideal for building beautiful castles by children and their parents. The air is so stunning so one can materially feel it. We were sleeping for more than 9 hours and could not get up as if we took sleeping drugs.
The house has been restored by current owners with a great love and taste. Maintaining the traditional feel with a slight oriental touch in design it has all contemporary features for the comfort living. One can’t forget the warmth of the sun sitting on the dinner table on the open terrace.
The garden, where you can not only enjoy the beauty of grass and trees, but can gather fresh vegetables for your lunch.
The swimming pool with its gentle natural water has surprised all of us. Its moisturizing effect is easily compared with the best French body cream.
Food – this is something what would be difficult to describe as none of the adjectives exist to express it. Maybe just one – simply stunning French cuisine. We had a pleasure of being taking care by three chefs and all of them are just unforgettable.
And last, but not least the Villa team – very friendly, helpful, ready to assist at all times. Of course the pearl of the team is its manager without whom our stay could not be as memorable as it turned out.
This is a place where you want to come again and again!
Thank you all! Guest from Russia

From the Guest Book
The house, location, accommodations are super. Everything inside is perfect. But the best was to meet John! He is a very very nice person always ready to help us and for sure will become our friend for ever. We are very happy with our choice and strongly recommend Villa Eze for future guests. Carlos, January 2014
A magical, musical, memorable experience makes it difficult to find adequate words to relate our feelings about this sunny, enchanting wonderland. It's the picturesque aura surrounding our stay that remains in our vision, and the kind generosity of the villa's owner that brings songs to our days. We think the key element is the presence of John whose loving goodness radiates throughout his exceptional home, right into the hearts of those who dwell within. Each day we looked forward to seeing his smiling, animated face, and on those rare occasions when he didn't come by, it felt like a 'loss.' The Villa is immaculate, the closeby villages charming and the total ambiance one of a dreamy nature. We joined our daughter and her family halfway through their stay, having one of the loveliest times of our life..........as we did last year at the same time. Walking onto the veranda early in the morning is a breathtaking experience, one which we repeated time and again with greater awe each time. It was a complete, joyful time. We are grateful for having been a part of this splendid area of the world, if only for a brief interlude. Our sincere thank you. Nancy and Ron Grigsby
We were met by the owner who invited us in, showed us around and then poured us wine and cooked our first meal while we relaxed. If only every experience in life excelled like this. The pictures of the Villa did not lie - It was actually more beautiful then i could have imagined. Perfect vacation, we will be back next year!!! Roger, August 2013
Thank you for a lovely week in you beautiful villa. Everything was as we expected on arrival and you made us feel very welcome. The villa was ideally situated for visits to Eze Village, Beaulieu, La Turbie and Monaco. We had 2 fabulous candle lit dinners with live music and great food. at Anjouna Beach restaurant just below us (thank you for the recommendation) The view from the villa was beautiful and you helpfulness made our week very relaxing. The pool is fantastic! Thank you again and hope to see you next year. Kind regards, A guest, 2012
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The villa was great and the owners were very accommodating. We had a lot of young children with us and it suited our needs well. We would definitely recommend it. Regards, Jim, South France Villas Client, July 2013
From the Guest Book:
Our family of four (my husband and I and two single adult sons) stayed at the villa for 11 days at the beginning of October, 2013. Our stay there was perfect. The villa was amazing. It was comfortable, with all the amenities of home and had a beautiful view of the Mediterranean. It was conveniently located, with a train station and bus stop at the bottom of the road. John, our keyholder, was our first connection to our South France vacation and to say he enhanced our stay, would be an understatement. I have not met a more accommodating and friendly person. Nothing was too much trouble for him in making our stay memorable. We will definitely recommend this amazing villa to our family and friends, and would love to visit again. Thank you for sharing your lovely vacation home with us! We have spent an amazing 11 days in this mafnificent villa. Our family enjoyed every moment in this magical location and hope to return for more pleasure. Thank you, John, for your most generous hospitality. You were always there to attend to our every need. Sincerely,The Ducharmes from Canada, October 2013
A perfect place to rest and recover after 5 hard days of rowing 200km of the Canal du Midi.
It’s location was perfect… completely private, but close enough to Beziers for when we wanted to shop, or close enough to the smaller villages to bike to for our fresh croissants in the morning! The Owner was a pleasure to deal with, and her son very obliging. He arranged maxi taxis for the 14 of us to go to the night market at Pezenas. Thanks for your help in organising the Villa. It really was the perfect ending to celebrate our achievement on the Canal! Regards,Cindy, WakaTui Rowing, New Zealand, South France Villas Clients
Had a very good time at La Grange. The house is lovely and large, and having large ensuites in all the bedrooms is very convenient. The facilities and utensils in the house are excellent. The outside area and pool are very well maintained and ideal for sitting outside and having a splash in the pool. Very handy having the grocers, bar and restaurants just up the road.Paul, September 2013
