10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2024
We stayed in la Maison for 1 week with our three children. We were blow away by how beautiful the area was and the house! It was perfectly clean and we had a very friendly welcome from Bruno who was so helpful throughout our stay with things to do in the local area and even Booked a kayaking trip for us. The pool was lovely, and has the benefit of your sole
Use due to it being timetabled. It didn’t cause too much of an issue not being able to go in when you wanted as Bruno was flexible if we had been out for the day and wanted to go in when we got back. Would definitely recommend booking this place if you want a relaxed holiday in a beautiful area of France!

We spent two wonderful weeks in La Belle Etoile—La Maison. The house is stunning: spacious and very well equipped. Bruno was the perfect host. The two times we thought something was lacking ( a fly swatter and a small pan to cook one egg), he went out and bought what was missing. He was also very friendly and stopped by occasionally to check on us. He answered all our questions about the local area.
The gite, the setting, and the landlord combined to make this a wonderful holiday. We have been to France many times and have rented numerous gites; this one was clearly the best. We recommend it highly.

A fantastic holiday. La Maison was exceptional, very spacious, well equipped and in a beautiful location. Bruno and Rita made us feel very welcome and did their best to ensure our holiday was what we wanted it to be. We would highly recommend both the area and the house.
