We have been to France renting properties for 20 years and this charming setting was the most expensive to date. Unfortunately we do not feel the money was well spent. The exterior of the property was beautiful and well maintained but the pool was not heated to the level we have become accustomed. The interior left much to be desired. The kitchen was cramped and poorly designed and without a can opener, sicissors, clock, vegetable peeler and not a knife sharp enough to cut bread The inside was beautiful to look at but not functional. The beds look pretty but the cushions look wonderful but were not sleepable pillows. Towels were colour matched to the shower but inexpensive. There were no waste baskets in the bathroom areas in the bedrooms. France and fresh bread go together and unfortunately there was no close source of bread which required a drive to the next town to obtain, which was not always convenient. There are any number of beautiful properties in France and our host is competing with them
As compared with other fantastic properties we have stayed at over the years we would rate this beautiful property at 3.7 out of 5 mainly do to the lack of attention to details, like warning to be cautious of beams slanting from the bedroom ceilings, etc. in the house and the low temperature of the pool. We all felt that the property was being run on the "Cheap". This also was the impression of our guests who are also experienced travelers. We would not return to this property.
