"Thank you for renting your beautiful villa to us over the past week.
The family had an absolutely superb time and you truly have thought of everything in your set up there."
KS says
"The house is just perfect.
It’s well equipped, comfy and homey and it is a much loved home. It’s not like a typical rental.
It’s been the week we all really needed and were looking forward to – relax, sleep, sunbathe and enjoy being a family. A week is too short here though!"
AW says
"I just wanted to write and let you know how much we enjoyed our two weeks in France. The house was very comfortable and homely and we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves being there and having pool days. We loved going out and about and following your excellent advice as to where to visit.
How lucky you are to have found such a place - thank you for sharing it with us!"
SM says
"The villa was stunning and very relaxing and your notes on activities etc were spot on.
We had a great time kayaking and at the Gorge du Verdon to name a couple."

"I cannot believe our stay has nearly come up an end, we have had a ball!
It has been a wonderful family holiday!
All your tips and suggestions have been spot on, wonderful restaurants and a few excursions!"
KS says
"We’ve done the 30 or 40k E-bike ride on the track and through the vineyards; been for supper and drinks in Lorgues; went to the market in Lorgues and in Les Arcs.
We’ve cooked in and eaten out… we’ve played cards, monopoly and boules… we’ve enjoyed all the outdoor areas and had a lot of rosé 🥰"
JW says
"I just wanted to email to say thank you for letting us stay at Mas Les Restanques.
We had a wonderful week and very much enjoyed the peace and quiet.
We particularly loved your pool which is one of the best we’ve ever had in a villa."
