Guest comments
'As your 'first paying customers' I wanted to let you know that our stay at La Maison du Midi was everything we could have wished for. The house is truly superb and is spacious comfortable, flexibly accommodating and elegantly and thoughtfully fitted out with every possible facility. We've been staying in houses across the South of France since 2002 and yours stands out above them all. It's obvious how much thought and effort has gone into its development. All the beds were really comfortable and the fold down beds in the sun lounge worked out fine. The cul-de-sac location, village and local area are also just what we wanted - quiet and rural but with plenty of interest.'
'We had a fantastic week at your villa. It is the nicest one we have stayed at and were very impressed with your attention to detail.'
