House with character with swimming-pool

Beautiful house I really recommend the place . Friendly neighbour dogs. I hope you have great stay !

This is a very old beautiful house. The location is rural with lovely views, it's so peaceful and relaxing. It's a very short drive or about 20mins walk into the beautiful town of Belves. Me family particularly enjoyed the two friendly dogs visiting from the farm opposite. The hosts were readily available to answer any questions we had.

A lovely peaceful spot but only 5 minutes from Belves, a fabulous little town. Daily visits by two friendly dogs from the hamlet! A little cool for the pool but still much warmer than the UK! Great communication from the owner.

The setting and location of the house are both excellent. We loved the view out of the back of the house over the valley; the early morning mist was atmospheric and the black night sky sprinkled with stars was spectacular. The house itself is perfect for our family group as the young family with baby effectively had their own area downstairs so the old(er) ones had the quiet of upstairs. The baby loved the 'baby cows' that she could see in the field as well as the two very friendly dogs that visited. We all enjoyed our stay and would definitely consider another one. Many thanks.

We have been travelling around Southern France for a while & stopped at Belves, to reconnect with family & friends. What a great place this house is enough space for everyone to do their own thing but also cosy. Beautiful countryside & lovely walks if not swimming everyday in the pool. The only downside was some of the sun beds were damaged & no umbrella's by the pool either.

Charming older property with lots of character. Excellently located within walking distance of Belves, so one doesn't have to drive everywhere (handy after a good, long lunch,,), though very peaceful and quiet with a lovely open view at the back. It would have been useful to have had a least one other teatowel and a couple of handtowes for the bathrooms and kitchen. The recent decoration in the rear rooms were welcome as was the addition of the extra room which was a relaxing place to sit when the weather wasn't very good. The neighbours were very friendly and approachable and were keen for us to enjoy our stay. We had a couple of minor problems during our stay but they were promptly dealt with which was very much appreciated. We have stayed at this property four times in the last 10 years and have enjoyed each one.

We had a wonderfull stay in this old house. The building requires some modernisation but it has a lot of charm and is very spacious. The swimming pool was a bit cold for our baby of 15 month’s but we really enjoyed it. We stayed for two weeks but we wanted to stay longer. It was wonderfull! Nico, Nathalie & Otilia

This holiday was an opportunity for the family to get together, so we had three couples, plus baby and a dog. The property was ideally suited to our needs and we had a fantastic week. Accommodation is arranged on 2 floors and it was possible to give the couple with a baby a separate wing of their own. The house is charming and has the feel of a genuine family home, possibly going back generations, which really helped us settle in. Whether it was a barbeque on the rear terrace overlooking the swimming pool and across the valley, or breakfast on the front terrace in the morning sun. Although we did not stray far, the local area was perfect for short walks or wandering around local villages. Indeed, the night market in Belves was a particular highlight and is much recommended. Be aware that there is a dairy farm fairly close by. This does not cause any problem from the perspective of either noise or smell, and we found it charming to wake up and find a herd of chestnut coloured cows about 40-50 yards from the swimming pool (behind a fence). However, if your dog is not well-behaved, you may find this a distraction. All in all, much recommended and we are considering visiting again in a few years time.

For our rag tag bunch of travellers and dog - a mix of two families joined together by a common grandchild - the space and location were fabulous. Being able to walk/cycle into Belves (a friendly and delightful town) was a real bonus. The house itself is also central to a huge range of places of interest and beauty a short drive away. We spent many happy hours lazing by the well-appointed pool (a couple of umbrellas would be a super-duper addition) and eating leisurely on the charming terrace, directly outside the kitchen. The house itself has a rustic charm; I delighted in the art work, especially all the glorious posters from my birth year! If anything, the interior just needs a little 'cuddle', nothing more than a day of freshening up. But, please keep in mind I am a bit weird and cleaned all the kitchen drawers out and reorganised them; it’s all about perspective and mine may be a bit off kilter! Overal; romance in the bucketload, breath taking views, golden light through the vines at breakfast, glorious light and shade, the south west of France on a stick! P.S Rowan (4.5 ans) says she now wants to live in France!

The surrounding countryside was idyllic and all the more special in such a popular area. The house was full of history and charm and had everything we could need. The highlight for the children was the full-size pool and we loved exploring the area.
