We stayed in August 2024, family group of seven from Grandparents to grandkids and everything in between. It was amazing. We have stayed all over Europe over the years but this is by far the best house / property we have had the luck to find, so much so we have already booked for next year. As soon as we rounded the corner of the driveway and saw the place for the first time there was a collective "wow". We were still saying wow after settling in, enjoying the barbeque and having a midnight swim whilst watching shooting stars overhead. Everything about the house was really well thought through, well stocked DVDs and family board games, books, and an amazing welcome gift from the owners. The wi-fi was excellent throughout the house and in the patio areas. The local area is equally impressive, we took road and mountain bikes so was able to enjoy the hills! We spent a day exploring the local trails on foot . We walked into the town daily for fresh bread and an ice-cream. We rounded the week off with a 10km family canoe trip from a nearby town, great value and great fun. An amazing house in an amazing area of France.

Hi Tony, Thank you very much for such a comprehensive review! Claire and I are also delighted to welcome you back next year - your booking is confirmed.
What a find. A spacious well equipped and clean gite in a quiet location but with a fantastic village five minutes drive away or by short walk by country lane down to the village centre. The gite is all yours, no neighbours, no shared areas, just privacy. Swimming pool was first class as was the ability to relax indoors or outdoors with all amenities catered for. Many a late night at the outdoor dinner table eating from the bbq. Tranquility. Couple of excellent restaurants in the village as well as a butchers, bakery and a small supermarket. Great location to explore the region. Highly recommended and would return. Excellent communication from owners before, during and after when we needed it.

Thank you Lee, it was a pleasure having you stay. Those stay-at-home nights dining on the BBQ terrace are always special for us too!
What a great house; if you want a peaceful secluded space, that's close enough to a beautiful old town to get supplies and eat out, this is it. The owners have thought of everything, provide comprehensive information about the property and the area and all communication is clear and punctual. My wife and I had such a good time, we've already booked again. No brainer.....

Thank you very much for your kind words Nick, and yes, I can confirm you're booked in for the same weeks again next year. Best wishes, Paul.
We had a wonderful holiday at Maison Boye. We were a party of four adults with three children that as you’d expect spent most days just relaxing around the pool, which the kids totally loved of course, and we liked that it had a clever alarm to let us know if anyone fell in. It felt like we’d escaped to a secret place a million miles away from anyone else, but could break that spell by walking down to Caylus for dinner (top tip: the handmade pizzas at Au Bon Coté des Choses). Although thinking about it now the lazy evenings we stayed in were probably best, sitting out under the cane roof on the terrace with its pretty lights, the BBQ kept busy and the local wine flowing! Highly recommended and definitely on our shortlist for the future.

Hi Liz, You've just rebooked for next year, thank you, and welcome to our growing band of regulars!
We stayed at Maison Boye with our 9 month old, 6 and 9 year old children for two weeks. The house had everything we needed and Paul the owner made some great suggestions on the best room for the baby and the older two which was all great. The house is very isolated, with ample garden and home space, which we loved - we used the What Three Words app to get there. The pool was perfect for our kids to swim and play all day - they loved the slide. There are super towns, places for activities and restaurants to visit - all nearby. And the house manual recommends some great places to try which we found very helpful. Paul was always quick to reply to any communications. This home is very special and a place to create some wonderful memories. Thank you for having us - we will be back.

Thanks Monique. It was a pleasure to have your family stay at Maison Boye and great that you also found time to discover the joys of the local area.
Tucked away down its own private lane in the countryside it feels like you're completely alone in paradise, yet it's surprisingly close to town. There was nothing better than a day of lounging around the pool followed by an evening stroll down to one of the local restaurants for dinner on a terrace overlooking the valley or rooftops! The house, pool and garden were all bigger than expected from the pictures and of course it was great to have such a lovely place all to ourselves. We hope to visit again.
