Guest Comments

Mark, August 2003. There are no negative points about your home, it was a delight to stay there. The location is lovely and quiet, private and secluded, but still close enough to the main roads to make exploring the area easy. The accommodation is excellent and very well equipped. We would definitely recommend it to anyone. And if you are going to install a table tennis table and boules, what more could anyone want? The pool was the cleanest we have had in all the years we have visited France and the warmest. We enjoyed the surroundings so much that we only went out for 1 day in the first week!

Katrina and Chris: August 2004. Our first visit to France has been a truly wonderful experience. Secluded, peaceful and in beautiful surroundings, Sécotine has offered us the chance to feel at home in France. We've been able to do many things here that were for us so pleasurable, walking in the mountains, exploring nearby towns and villages; swimming in the beautiful pool or the sea and stalking wild boar at 1:30am!!!

Annie and Alasdair : August 2004. We have enjoyed a thoroughly pleasant and relaxing 2 weeks. We loved the house and the pool. The boule was good, the weather fabulous although we did experience some very strong winds.
