This is an absolutely stunning property and it was an amazing place to stay at the end of our holiday. We were met at the gate and given a tour of the house and grounds and shown the many amazing antiques and the unique salons. It was a delight to be here, but there are a couple of things to be aware of when planning a stay. Apart from a lovely breakfast, there is no food available. There are some bars and Cafes in nearby villages, but it might be difficult to find places outside weekends. This makes it a bit difficult with a family. Even some Self catering access to a kitchen would help. There is also no air-conditioning. The house generates electricity through solar, and is cooled using shutters and drafts, which is great but we woke very hot in the night. Just an electric fan uses little energy and could make a big difference to guest comfort. My one big criticism is that the mattress was very hard and uncomfortable, which is surprising in a house where every detail seems to have been lovingly arranged. We were the only paying guests staying at the house, and the owners were having a gathering with their friends. Although everyone was charming it was difficult not to feel as though we were crashing a private party when the group were around the pool, etc. I understand that isn’t the usual situation, but worth being aware it can happen. Having said this, I would highly recommend a stay in this beautiful extensive property and we have wonderful memories to take home!
