Review Submitted: November 2, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
My partner and I spent a relaxing week at the property at the beginning of October. It really is a stunning property - even better than the pictures!!!!
THe house itself is very clean, well furnished & maintained and alhough it is very cosy it is well equipped with all the mod cons. ( Sky TV, BBQ, Hi Fi) Outside is the "show stopper" the views are simply amazing - especially from the infinity pool, where we spent most afternoons drinking cocktails!!! There is plenty of outdoot furniture, which is of a high standard.

The area is very quiet - which is just what we wanted, but just a short drive ( 5 mins ) you are in the local village where we where able to buy fresh bread evrery day, there is also a small super market, but I would suggest travelling to one of the big super markets for a big shop!!!
We did venture out to the local pizzeria ( about 15mins walk) a couple of nights which was great food, service and value for money.
We are also both keen tennis players and we where able to play every day at the local tennis club for a nominal charge. ( 5 mins car journey).

Lastly before we made our reservation Alma ( the proprietor) was only happy to help with our questions and queries.

If you are debating whether to book this property - think no more - you really won't be dis appointed.

Relaxing oasis gets our thumbs up!

Review Submitted: October 24, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
We booked our holiday in this property because we wanted a relaxing holiday away from it all.The views from the hillside location and the pool are what attracted us.
The property is exactly as described and we arrived to find it clean and welcoming. Once stocked up from the local supermarket, we had everything we needed. We could have stayed there the entire two weeks and only left the property to buy fresh milk and bread from the local village.
After the first week we felt re-charged and so went to St Tropez and Cannes on seperate occasions (both about 30-40mins drive). In this respect the property is perfect for us as we wanted an oasis but with the chance to see the Cote D'Azur when we felt the need.
The house itself is well laid out with the living room and the kitchen both opening out onto a covered terrace with lovely views to be enjoyed morning or evening. But the highlight and the reason we will re-book has to be the pool, we spent every minute we could there, enjoying the views, swimming and reading. The shallow kids area was very useful and our 2 yr old enjoyed playing in the water. Its well fenced and has lockable gates so it was not a worry when we were not around the pool.
If your idea of a holiday is swimming, reading and relxing you will love this property.

A week in paradise............

David, Joanne & Kayleigh Hartlepool, UK
Review Submitted: August 12, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
We had a truly amazing week at Montfleurie. The information we received prior to our visit was first class and very detailed. Alma and Greg were most helpful from our first booking enquiry. The quality of information and maps etc was fantastic and started to paint a picture of what was to come many weeks before our holiday. The holiday itself and the villa was the best we have ever had in every respect!!! The villa was exactly as described and it was spottlesly clean and very well maintained. It has a real welcoming house feel. The bedrooms are airy and spaceous and the well equipped bathrooms are ideal. The living room is 'home from home' with all the entertainment facilities you could wish for. The mezzanine provided the perfect way to the pool area and gardens. The gardens are very pretty and superbly maintained. The infinity pool was the highlight of our stay at Montfleurie, it's simply paradise!!. The view over the vineyards towards the hills, whilst we were bathing must be experienced to be believed, for it is certainly amazing, relaxing and out of this world. We couldn't imagine a more scenic or peaceful location for our holiday. Also the view from the terrace at the front of the house is outstanding and we would simply enjoy our evening meal with a glass of wine and admire the views. The access road to the house is 'interesting' but nothing you wouldn't expect from a hillside location. The house is private and secluded and not overlooked by any other property. We had a lovely walk through the vineyards to the village of Figanieres. The weather during our stay was fantastic, typical of the south of france. On reflection my family and I decided that our holiday at Montfleurie was simply the best holiday we have ever had!!! Thank you Alma and Greg

Review Submitted: August 6, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
Gorgeous property with an absolutely stunning swimming pool. The property is wonderfully equipped and a real home from home. Because of its location it provides excellent views, particularly from the stunning swimming pool and is really private. The property is also centrally located between Marseille and Nice, which meant that the Verdon Gorge, Monaco, Nice and St. Tropez were all easily accessible. This also meant we could save £300 by flying to Marseille rather than Nice.
We should also say how wonderful the property owners were, both in their advice and organisation. We recommend highly.

Review Submitted: July 26, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
This is a wonderful retreat from the bustle of the South of France. We whiled the days away by the wonderful pool all week and hardly left it. We watched someone walk their dog across the vineyards below..and, possibly the same person, walk back again! In spite of these peaceful surroundings the property is not isolated as there are several neighbours sharing the same hill - however, although we were aware of their presence, we didn't see them. If we had chosen to leave there was plenty to do in the area. Everything was as described, clean and comfortable. In all, an excellent place to be We can heartily recommend it.

montfleurie in all seasons

Review Submitted: April 27, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
I have stayed at Montfleurie in winter and in early summer. Having read some of the reviews I feel that the villa has so much to offer in the winter and that it is not just a summer house. Warm and cosy, with an easily lit wood burning fire, romantic evenings in comfortable surroundings ... perfect! The views in all seasons are amazing and the peace and tranquilty of the villa are a balm to the soul. In the summer you can listen to the birds sing and relax and recharge the batteries. With friends it is a place of fun and laughter with so many restaurants and places of interest in the area, there is always something to do. The pool is large and the views from the upper terrace are stunning. Well-equipped ( some touches not always found in rental properties), the house is accurately described and beautifully looked after, the owners are friendly and very helpful. Montfleurie is a haven for those seeking a holiday to remember.

First Class Villa in beautiful surrondings.

Steve, Marion and the boys Dagenham, Essex
Review Submitted: September 5, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
We have had several villa holidays over the last few years and this in our opinion was the best. The villa's location on the side of a hill gives it fantastic views across the vineyards from both the bedrooms, the lounge and veranda which was perfect for evening dining outside. The pool area was the largest we have experienced and being raised behind the house gave even better views of the surrounding area. Another bonus we as a family particularly liked about the villa was that after a days exploring the larger towns you were able to retreat back to the peace and qiute that the villa offered. The villa was extremely well equipped and the television with British freeview channels was excellent.
The owners were more than helpful in all aspects of our requirements. Thanks for a great holiday.
