It is an amazing location, well positioned not too far from Marciac. You as hosts, and Jean Paul Dadema, your brother, are perfect and make the renters sojourns hassle free and relaxing. Jean Paul is welcoming, and professional in explaining all the key aspects and led us from La Peniche to the house on arrival which is secluded in a lovely forested area overlooking the valley, away from the bustle of Marciac. With no neighbours around it is perfect for solitude and gives freedom to roam and enjoy. Oh, and La Peniche is 300 metres away and a great, unusual restaurant, reasonably priced… to include fois gras.
Thanks to the cleaning lady, Pierrette and Celine too who were equally timely and efficient at the end and when needed ad hoc. Celine is excellent at BBQ (she did a duck on one of the 3 BBQs you have) and also cooking local French cuisine on another day. The ladies are reasonably priced and we had fun talking to them.
The property fulfilled more than what we expected. You provided all baby things including a high chair and cot, and the modern kitchen has good equipment, clean and well maintained. It felt “home from home”; so well decorated. The two villas are full of art and sculptures! A marvellous treat for art lovers …. Even the floor tiles and decorative wall tiles were luxury, and your well-tended garden with so many flowers and trees. We would class it at the luxury end that we normally rent. The property is fully accessible and Jean Paul sought to fulfil any need.
The focal point is your 2 tier and massive swimming pool and Jean Paul’s attendance on ensuring a clean and well treated pool at 28/ 30°C. The pool at waist height is so perfect for young swimmers under supervision. We used it morning, and afternoon! The veranda and the 2 paillotes are excellent for sitting outside eating and evening drinks, watching the sunset . And, we could continue in our praises.
For the adults and the toddler and child, restaurants are not far (approx.. 300m walking straight down in 3 minutes or by car) and the town is small and void of loud noise. My son and his wife loved the walking and walking…. There are just lots of things to do in the area.
The 2 self-contained villas and the chalet compares in the same league as luxury housing in lovely spots of France.
We spend a lot of time in great places in Mauritius, Naples, Nice, Crete and Cyprus, Jard sur Mer. We will add this as yet another great hideaway. The property is mostly good for wheelchair
