Client Comments

We loved our stay at villa Violette, beautifully furnished with great outdoor and indoor kitchen. All of the outdoor spaces were beautiful, and it was hard to decide where to hangout. During the day we would sightsee and then enjoy the house in the evenings. We used a cooking service to come in and cook called Dineindulge, I would recommend hiring a car as taxi’s are expensive, 5 star rating in my book. Family S Autumn 2023
Our second time in this very comfortable well equipped luxury (home ). We made full use of the lovely out door kitchen, relaxing, cooking pizza in the oven, and topping up our drinks with the ice cube maker. Fab weather to use the salt water pool (late July early Aug). Great attention to the details made this a return holiday to remember, and it’s only been improved since our last visit. Thank you Michelle first class again. The A Family.

Great Villa, ticked all the boxes and the attention to detail by the owner was fantastic, including fantastic welcome gifts including Champagne and wonderful things to eat on our arrival. Thank you for everything. South France Villas Client Mr R July 2022
Hi Yvonne, The family just arrived at the villa, they’re so lovely and the lady cried when she saw the summer kitchen with my welcome setup. So sweet! Wish everyone was this nice and grateful.  Thanks for sorting it out at such last notice. Message from the owner August 2020
Beyond our expectations as pictures and words don't prepare you for this villa WOW location and fantastic amenities. Our age group was from 10 to 80 and everyone wanted to stay two more relaxing weeks. The lucky owner was the perfect host. Near enough to the Riviera far enough for peace and quiet. In summary we ate too much we drank too much and have many happy memories to bring home. First class.Ian, UK, South France Villas Client, August 2016
