By Louise H on 30-Sep-2016A beautifully decorated and really well equipped spacious studio with doors opening onto a lovely pool with great views over the vineyards. Paul and Bruce were kind, warm hosts; nothing was too much trouble and it was a pleasure to stay with them.
Peace, tranquility and relaxation
By Joanna S on 09-Jul-2016Another fabulous holiday at the apartment owned by Paul and Bruce who are the best hosts you could imagine. Always friendly and helpful so that you can enjoy your holiday to the max whilst also respecting your privacy if you need it. The studio has always been spotlessly clean and the infinity pool is to die for on those hot days when you want to relax and take in the views of the surrounding countryside. Paul and Bruce are always on hand to recommend somewhere to eat or visit and they don't disappoint. If you like wildlife then you're in for a treat with lots of birds particularly hawks, swifts and finches flying around as well as beautiful butterflies floating around the garden. We always return home feeling completely rested and looking forward to our next holiday in Faugères. Thank you so much Paul and Bruce for having us!
