Beautiful house, very nice garden. Nice hosts and everything was very clean upon arrival. If you are looking for peace and quiet and beautiful walks, you have come to the right place.

We had a highly enjoyable stay at Jean-Pierre and Basanti's place. They have almost singlehandedly created a little oasis of calm in the hills, right down to planting all the grass, trees, vegetables and plants on the property; as well as building both houses!It was more like being hosted by family than a commercial transaction. As well as being on-hand to make sure we had everything we needed, the hosts were incredibly tolerant and welcoming of our children wanting to run around, explore, and participate in their outdoor work.Other reviewers noted the pool is a short walk from the house. This is a definite plus with small children.We'd definitely stay agin.

We had a wonderful time in this very nice and clean house. Everything we needed for our three-week vacation was available so that we could fully concentrate on exploring the area. And it has a lot to offer. Caves and gorges, Cathar castles, vineyards, the sea... What more could you want? There's also a wonderful pool to cool off in the heat.
Thanks to Jean Pierre and Basanti for the wonderful time in Donazac.

Excellent location overlooking the village of Donazac. Nice to have seating and tables on 3 sides of the property and the pool area was a delight: clean, well-kept and spacious, even it was some 50 metres from the house and had to be accessed over a neglected area of garden with an uneven surface and some dangerous holes along the way. As for the outside area of the property and the kitchen, they looked loke they needed some tender loving care by the owners: weeds were growing through the gravel areas, plants were overgrown and obstructing the paths, one recliner chair near the house was torn, both recliners around the pool had seen better days. Being warned to be careful when sliding the door of a wardrobe in the hall because they might fall off is not reassuring!! The kitchen equipment and utensils looked like they had been randomly sourced from a charity shop/FRIP. Many were stained so our first job was to make sure they were clean by loading the dishwasher on our first night and wiping down the cupboard doors and worktops. In this age of COVID, surfaces that are sticky to touch provide no reassurance that they have been properly cleaned. There was no welcome-pack. Perhaps all small things but they are not up the the standard that we have come to expect of VRBO properties. The indications are there that more care and attention needs to be taken in maintaining the fabric and the cleanliness of this property.
