What a fabulous slice of paradise!
Aymons property is a gem. It's on a site with a couple of other properties and whilst the pool is shared we had it to ourselves all week. The pool is amazing and situated in beautiful gardens. The house itself is lovely, clean and the kitchen was really impressive. But the best thing is the view from the garden where you can eat your meals outside. The countryside in this area is stunning. Aymon was a great host, he showed us in and gave us some local recommendations for visits. Our kids loved the pool and boules and the ping pong table. The nearest town is great Puylaurens. It's only 10 mins and has a supermarket. You'd need a car if you are staying here. Thoroughly recommend!!!

Aymon Together with his wife, Anne Marie, was in constant contact with us at the start and throughout the whole process of arriving at the property, simply superior hosts. The attention to our comfort, our food details , Restaurant recommendations, sightseeing opportunities was truly outstanding. The connections that we had during our stay were so friendly and informative that it made it hard to leave. Our afternoons spent on the beautiful terrace overlooking rolling hills of sunflowers was sublime. The pool was the best we’ve ever swam in and was in a most Idyllic location and always beautifully clean. Merci beaucoup Aymon et Anne Marie

Perfektes Idyll
Das Ferienhaus ist wunderschön gelegen in einer parkähnlichen Landschaft - mit vielen alten Bäumen und Natur -, und die Aussicht ist wirklich beeindruckend. Toll ist zudem der sehr große Pool, und ein weiterer Pluspunkt ist, dass ich noch nie in einem so sauberen Ferienhaus gewohnt habe (und ich habe schon oft in Ferienhäusern übernachtet). Der Vermieter, der im nahegelegenen Schloss wohnt, ist bei Problemen jederzeit zur Stelle, ansonsten aber sehr diskret, sodass man in dem Ferienhaus (bzw. am Pool) ganz für sich ist. Die Gegend ist wenig touristisch, was ich ausgesprochen erfreulich finde. (Hier gibt es z. B. noch "echte" französische Märkte mit hervorragenden und günstigen Lebensmitteln kleiner Produzenten und ohne die Nippes- und Lavendelseifenstände, die man in Südfrankreich inzwischen so oft antrifft.) Nichtsdestoweniger gibt es diverse Ausflugsmöglichkeiten, falls man sich von dieser perfekten Idylle wegbewegen möchte. Der einzige negative Aspekt könnte für manche der Umstand sein, dass das Wlan relativ langsam ist, doch wer auf schnelles Internet keinen besonderen Wert legt, für den ist dieses Ferienhaus uneingeschränkt zu empfehlen.
