The house gave us everything we needed for a wonderful, relaxing family holiday. Everything was immaculately clean, with lots of space inside and out. The pool was great for games, it was deeper in the middle and shallower on the edges. The garden and pool had lots of natural shade, which was definitely needed on the hotter days. Monflanquin is a lovely town. The surrounding towns, villages, chateaus and markets are all with in an easy drive and worth a visit. Jo and Jim were great hosts who were on hand if needed. Thanks for a great stay.

This was a truly lovely holiday in a lovely region of France, rich with historical sites and a variety of local activities. The nearby markets and charming villages are perfect for day trips and exploring the local culture.As for the villa itself, excellent. It’s very well equipped with everything you could need to make your stay as enjoyable and comfortable as possible. The bedrooms are spacious and comfortable, and the pool is fantastic, with the added bonus of being heated to just the right temperature.The garden is beautifully maintained, with great views and a peaceful, natural atmosphere. The owners live on-site but are never intrusive, they’re friendly and always happy to help if you need anything.All in all, it was a wonderfully relaxing holiday. We’ll definitely be coming back, thank you. 10/10!

A very beautiful and setting houses this lovely gite. The house is very spacious and well equipped and provides a great base for a relaxing holiday. The outside space is great and you have areas in the sun all day so you can enjoy either a day at the house or just relax after returning from sightseeing. Monflanquin is beautiful but you are well-placed for many different trips, activities or days exploring a truly beautiful area of France. Jim and Jo are very kind and helpful hosts who take great pride and care in ensuring everything is maintained to the highest standard. They live next door, on site, and come to clean the pool every morning but are never intrusive. They are more than happy to help with recommendations if asked and provided us with some very good ones indeed. I would not hesitate to return if we were in the area again and would happily recommend Gardes.
