Guest comments
June 2010-T and P Williams and D and J Grenough, - Fantastic high end villa, lovely location, the place was way better than pictures indicated. Excellent quiet location with great places of interest locally to keep you entertained- very highly recommended.
Gayle Jones Aug 2010- Just a little note to say a great big thankyou, the villa is beautiful and the scenery is breathtaking. The villagers are so warm and friendly, they've really welcomed us.
We are so very jealous that you have your very own little piece of paradise.
C. Norring July 2011- My family, friends and I have just returned from our stay at your Villa Rossignol and I just wanted to tell you that we all loved it very much. Although we had high expectations because of your great pictures – our expectations were all met and more. Your villa is just wonderful and Jackie was very helpful. We have had a fantastic time and I will definitely recommend your villa to all my friends.

About the owner
Hi, I quite like to travel and have been searching for many years to find the right location to build a property. I am in the fortunate position to run a company that designs medical instruments, which ticks the box for design & business challenges. I grew up in California and then came to England early on in life at 11 and had to adjust to the climate and a proper education. I really enjoy this part of France as the weather reminds me of my childhood, yet has all the cultural elements that makes life interesting as an adult. I have always been keen on going on adventures and this project was no exception. My father had a heart attack and changed my perspective on what was important in life and this project and place have really made a difference.
Year purchased: 2005
Why the owner chose a home in this location
Back in 2005 I met up with a friendly lady called Sally who lived locally in lodeve. I was on the quest to find the best location in the area to build a property with the most spectacular views, a task too great you might say. Well, I looked in Portugal, Croatia and last of all the Languedoc in France and have not regretted it one bit! It was more work than expected and had the usual problems with builders, but eventually found a little place in heaven. If I had the choice, I would spend time there, where the climate is great and the relaxed pace of life helps you recharge your batteries. In the mean time let me know if you would like to go in search of what I still think is the most lovely part of this beautiful country.
Unique benefits of the property
Great location, easy to reach from most airports, with excellent road system. Quiet village location, within easy reach of local amenities. Fantastic places of interest within 10 miles and wine and food to die for. The property has a solar heated pool, exceptional insulation and low power lighting to make your stay as enjoyable as possible.
