Villa Theresia

holidays in VILLA THERESIA May 19 th to May 26 th , 2007

I am sorry we took so long to reply. The property was charming, well
equipped, and clean, and certainly as advertised. The greeter/caretaker,
Daniel, was wonderful. He was very responsive and very helpful when
needed, though he speaks no English which could be a minor problem for
some renters who don't speak any French.

Le Clos de la Source

July 14 th to July 21 st , 2007

Dear Gerlinde,

Bonjour a vous aussi! I am happy to provide you with feedback on Clos de la Source. In short, we loved our stay there and enjoyed it very, very much indeed. The location of the house was excellent - a short drive to most things we wanted to do and the view from the house itself of the hills surrounding the village of Cotignac was just stunning. I can still see the view when I close my eyes - it was simply unforgettable.

The house itself had everything as listed on your website, so we were not surprised or disappointed about anything at all. I should let you know that the owner was particularly gracious and generous with us. She learnt that we had young kids around the same age as her grandchildren and left a lot of toys and children's equipment out for us to use. Her kitchen is well-stocked with all the essentials one would need. She also had a number of helpful tips for us on things to do and places to visit, etc. that made our time there more enjoyable. The pool was well-maintained and we spent many hours a day there.

One small suggestion (depending on how many American/non-French speaking you may get) is to provide a English version of the basic instructions about the house and what the owners may or may not want done. It wasn't a problem for us because I speak and understand a little French. But if you have other clients who may not, that may be helpful for them as well as the owners so that there aren't any inadvertent miscommunication. Perhaps you don't get enough non-French speaking clients for this to matter, so it's just for your consideration.

We hope to be back in beautiful Cotignac again and if we're lucky we can stay again at Clos de la Source. We got quite attached to the place. Please pass on my best regards to the owner if you speak to them.

With best wishes, Joyita

holidays in VILLA THERESIA end of August

Hello Gerlinde,

We were all very pleased with your lovely home. I was particularly happy to find it was just as described and pictured, if not better. The house was extremely well equipped, which made our stay both comfortable and easy. Daniel and his wife met us and helped to get us acquainted with the house and its workings.

We found everything in good working order and easy to use.

The eight of us had a wonderful time. We all enjoyed the house, pool, grounds and the beauty of the surrounding area. We all fell in love with Provence.

Thank you for allowing us to stay in your lovely home.

Best regards,
Laura Vanier

Dear Gerlinde:
Thank you very much for Lou Grangeon - our vacation was wonderful!
The villa was superb, the location was fantastic, the weather was great and Lidia and Dennis were very nice and sweet!
I will recommend your company to all of my friends and I will definitely use your services in the future.

Thank you once again.
Sincerely,
Anya

Hello and thank you for your e-mail.
It was a party of six people who stopped at the Florentine in July this year and all of us really enjoyed our stay.
The owner was very helpful, especially as one person had luggage lost at the airport and he arranged delivery for us.
The villa was very clean, well equipped and had everything we needed.
Both inside the villa and outside everything was to a good standard, and we especially enjoyed the pool which was a good size and well maintained.
The village was well placed for trips around the area and we all had a great time and would visit this area again.

Best wishes,
Anne Robinson

Dear Gerlinde,
We spent a very nice week in .....
The location is perfect, because you can reach the most famous destinations in a very short time, still being out of the confusion.
It is very convenient to be close to a village (one can walk to buy a fresh baguette in the morning), when in the very fascinating Carpentras you find everything you need (including an astonishing patisserie).
The house was better than I expected. We found it very big for 5 persons (2 small boys) but when we have received the visit of a couple from Italy still it was very confortable.
It has a large, nice living room, confortable bed-rooms and a properly accessoriated kitchen. The overall design is good and there's a warm atmosphere. The pool is nicely displaced and definitively refreshing!
Mrs ..... is very nice and helpful.
Most important: you don't feel a stranger.
For the price spent, there's no objections. We would be happy to repeat our experience soon.
Now, someone (not me) may found the following unsatisfactory:
- one bathroom shower was out of order;
- on the groundfloor you have a jacuzzi and a massage shower, that you're not allowed to use - so why installing them?
- the garden, although well kept, is a bit unfinished, I am sure Mr Basset will continue is good job.
- there's a white fence to cover the "wild" part of the garden that is partially fallen down.
Also, you don't really understand who's living in the building besides you - not that you are disturbed by noises or the like, but still you feel you're not alone.
It's time to thank you again.
Saluti,

Lorenzo Coppini

This is interesting news. The new price is very good.
You continue to provide an excellent service. We are thankful.
Kind regards,
David and Thais Priestas

Gerlinde/Jacques,
we've just returned from our week at the above accommodation. We had a wonderful time and the Villa was exactly as described on your website.
We found Monsieur and Madame ...... extremely friendly despite the fact that they spoke little English. My French is fairly poor but I did try!
Many Thanks for the assistance you gave me prior to the holiday.
Regards,
Stuart Rennie.

Dear Gerlinde and Jacques,
Many thanks for your prompt and helpful replies on this 2 houses. Both were strong contenders for the good value on offer, but we have chosen a place in a quite different location for this year. I would like to mention that your website is great - really user Friendly and with excellently detailed information about the properties and their environs. Many thanks for this. We will certainly use your service again and recommend it to friends who also love France but sometimes find the choice too bewildering to navigate! Best wishes,
Carmel Motherway
