First of all the property is beautiful and tranquil, one could just sit outside and be at peace all day. The pool is wonderful and the house is filled with comfort and character. Most importantly, Steve, his family and his neighbors are amazing. They are so kind and willing to help at any given moment. They let us know places we should go and places we should eat and not one place let us down. They really treated us like family and made our vacation so memorable. I would highly recommend staying here. We look forward to returning.

We had a great time in the villa. Steve is the very best and treated us with the greatest of respect and kindness. Our holiday had been interrupted with a vehicle breakdown and Steve made up for us and our six kids to get our holiday back on track. The villa is in a great location for everything.

This is a delightful family home nestled in the foothills of the Vallee de Heureuse some 4.5 km south of Sorede in a small, quiet but well established residential community. The house is large, on several levels and can easily accommodate x8 people (though we were only x2). The kitchen is well appointed and there is a large covered terraced area for eating and getting out of the sun! There is also satellite TV and wifi. The pool area is fantastic and is beautifully maintained with plenty of expensive sunbeds and umbrellas. Sorede is blessed with two very good restaurants - reviewed separately on Trip Advisor- and is useful for basic food stuffs. There are two very good supermarche's within 20 mins drive and the vast beaches of Argeles sur Mer are about 30 mins away. The owner - Steve and his family - could not have been more inviting or accommodating and were very helpful in making our stay so enjoyable. The road from Sorede to the property, though tarmacked, has seen better days!
