The Little Barn
Excellent holiday cottage! The home-cooked food offered by the owner, including daily fresh bread, was wonderful!
Le Jardin Du Chateau
What can I say - Le Jardin Du Chateau blew us away from start to finish! Olly is just a 5*****+++ host! He was there to meet us and show us around his stunning house and gave us lots of advice and tips for the local area. The house itself is just stunning; the original staircases, the Parisian style doors in the upper living room, the sleek kitchens, no expense has been spared in the interior and Olly has literally thought of everything: from beautiful Le Creuset mugs and cookware, Marshall sound system, the comfiest beds, The White Company towels, every single piece of equipment you could possibly need in both kitchens. Two kitchens! We were so spoilt - we ended up using the kitchen by the pool the most and it was perfect for our two families. We have to mention the Floris shower products (and scents) in every bathroom in the villa - we all smelt so good whilst were there and will be purchasing some when we get home!!!
The bedrooms were just superb - The children were so excited choosing their rooms - I often find that there is an obvious master suite in airbnb villas but it wasn't the case at Le Jardin Du Chateau - each had it's own style, the upper rooms were all equal size and all had exceptional views over the countryside so it was almost impossible to choose our rooms!
The pool was fantastic and much ... than we expected and just off the Lowrys kitchen with a comfy outdoor sofa area right beside it. It was a nice open space so not many mossies. Lots of parasols for shade around the garden. The views were spectacular! parking was perfect and we easily fit our two cars.
We booked Le Jardin Du Chateau without knowing anything about the area and we were so pleasantly surprised. A 4 minute walk into town past the stunning castle which made it the perfect location. Duras is really quaint and has an absolutely amazing boulangerie and butcher, a few restaurants (book once you arrive!). The Monday day market is really nice and the Thursday night market is bubbling with atmosphere. Grab some moules frites, a bottle of rose and sit at the banquet tables in the square and soak in the music and atmosphere - it was brilliant. We had great fun going on the app and changing the colours of the castle!!
Honestly Olly, you have spoilt us and Le Jardin Du Chateau is a benchmark which will be difficult for our future trips to top! We will definitely be back!! Thank you so much.Rouge Cottage
Lovely quiet spot at the end of a short lane with views over the surrounding fields. If you want quiet and rural this is for you.
The Apple Tree House
Great house! Had a lovely time. Only improvement would be the hot tub - could be hotter and more powerful
French House (or was it a castle!) Bourguignonne
We had one of the most relaxing weeks ever in this sympathetically converted barn with huge roaring fire. Great walking and mountain biking routes on the doorstep and village nearby with good sized supermarket and various boulangeries too. Our favourite was the immense collection of local cheeses. Wine-shopping half way between Beaune and Sancerre, we were spoiled for choice!
Planning another trip back in the Autumn.Villa Anello

Hello Karen / Oliver's Travels
Really fab holiday in your chateau - the grounds were huge so it all felt great. Shame the pool was 100m from the front door, otherwise, loved it!!
Please contact me to re-book for next year when you get a moment

Villa Storia
VERY chilled holiday and so were so happy to finally get on a plane and travel. We had a small issue with the bedlinen in one of the bedrooms (musty), but the housekepper was summoned and the room was freshened and new lines supplied. Hady to be able to walk to the local restaurant (but needed a car for the big shop and generally). Will consider a return.
With thanks
FinnersVilla Shambhala
Amazing setting and beautiful space.
Barrow Barn
Cute find on OT! 9.5/10!
Trulli Silvana
Villa is charming and very pleasant. Are stay was most comfortable and we were conveniently situated for visiting all of the wonderful small towns in the area. Pool was refreshing and there is lots of outdoor space to relax, read or enjoy a meal. Having a real washing machine was fabulous. Host is very gracious, warm and accommodating. Would not hesitate to rent again if we have an opportunity to return to Puglia.
Thank you!!
We look forward to booking next year - thanks again Alison for seeing us good. great villa (Ravi) and the local golf course really made the trip all action and perfect.
Thanks

This villa was a dream come true. We had never been to Rhodes before staying here and are really happy we picked this place out of all places. The villa is tucked away between Faliraki and Afandou and have a beautiful view (especially the sunrise). Everything is really accessible but yet this is the perfect place to come back to and relax. The pool was the great to jump into every morning and after the beach. Every room has its own bathroom which is great for sharing (we stayed comfortably with a family of 7). We had an awesome time staying at the villa, can only recommend!!
Gia Costa
Perfect family house. Very good holiday.
Victorian Grange
It was a wonderful setting, with excellent facilities and provision. I think the advert underplayed the excellent of the house and grounds.
