Review Submitted: August 28, 2008, Date of stay: August, 2008
Maison Bleu is in a beautiful location with stunning views along and over the valley. It is very quiet and has extensive outdoor space (lawns and orchards). The house is extremely spacious, comfortable, homely, well maintained and immaculately clean. All the rooms are of a good size and thoughtfully furnished with comfy beds and lots of cupboard and wardrobe space. The (4) central rooms are large and means the house can easily accomodate the maximum number of people without you feeling on top of each other.This was also the best equipped house we've ever stayed in (by a mile), with everything you could possibly need in the kitchen, lots of board games, books and DVDs, as well as garden games, bikes and swimming pool kit. There was more than enough to keep the children occupied in and outside the house with the big, safe and beautifully maintained swimming pool a particular positive.
The area immediately around the house is excellent for scenic walks and bicycling and there are a number of extremely pretty market towns and villages nearby. There are various more specific attractions further afield.
The (English) owners live next door which we found a real bonus. They were extremely kind, friendly, thoughtful and unobtrusive and provided any help we needed.
I cannot fault any aspect of the setting, house or garden and would have no hesitation in recommending a visit to Maison Bleu if you are considering a holiday in this area. We were there for 3 weeks and were very sad to leave as we felt so very much at home!
