Summary: An old but, comfortable and roomy manor house in the perfect location to enjoy all the charm of Seillans, but also the nearby villages and the natural wonder of the Vernon Gorge. We were able to cook and barbecue our meals with food from the local markets, but also enjoyed eating at the variety of excellent cafès and restaurants in the village. The owner and the property manager were super responsive, which made for a stress free and fun week. We are already trying to plan our next visit there and bring our grandchildren.

Summary: A charming house in a beautiful village. Perfect stay to relax and to do excursions in the surrounding area. The house offers many retreats for all family members.

Summary: My friend and I stayed in this villa in 2015 and wanted to return. We invited 5 friends to join us and we had the most wonderful week. The villa is just wonderful—comfortable and inviting. We enjoyed a wonderful dinner outside under the arbor drinking local wine from a nearby Seillans winery. The hosts recommended several day trips to us that we enjoyed so much. I highly recommend this villa and I hope to return someday soon. I would love to rent it for more than one week!

Summary: This old charming big house in perfect location (centre of medieval small town) became home for a week for our big company of 12 people: three families with small children. Best things: pool, lots of space, many dishes and glasses, all the equipment you need, amazing views from the windows. So the stay was very comfortable. Things to keep in mind: no air conditioner (upper floors were warm, but there were air fans in each room), lots of stairs, smell of an old house. Best for those who are looking for authentic experience, Provance feeling. Managers are very friendly, easy speak in english, react fast if you have a problem. Overall, we all realllly liked this villa. We made lots of good memories there :)

Summary: Always great to be back in our favorite villa in beautiful Seillans. This was our 10th time here and as always we enjoyed every aspect of the property, especially the perfect location overlooking the pétanque courts, our favorite restaurant,La Gloire de mon Pere, and the village itself. With plenty of bedrooms for everyone and the large dining room, it's always the ideal place for our large group of friends. We can't wait to return next year.

Summary: We enjoyed our stay. The house is big with lots of bedrooms and three full baths. The best part was the outdoor bbq and covered patio. If you have any mobility issues, beware that there are steps everywhere on every level. The village was disappointing. It is beautiful but not much there. Owner and property manager were great.

Summary: Fabulous week spent with family which was well worth the long wait !(booked in 2019 but delayed by covid ) . Thanks to Andy for allowing us to delay our visit. Lovely comfortable house with secluded garden and pool in beautiful village of Seillans with great views from all aspects. Our party included 7 adults and 7 children aged 1-13yrs and everyone loved it . Thank you Andy and Lisa

Summary: We visited this property 11 years ago for my 50th Birthday and had the best time, so coming back I was glad to see everything remained the same and the experience once more was everything we'd hoped for. Andy is an exceptional host , his communication and helpfulness is 1st class. let's hope it isn't another 11 years before we're back.

Summary: So wonderful to be back at our second "home" in beautiful Seillans! The villa is ideally situated in the village, walking distance to restaurants, a 10 minute drive to wineries, and across from the pétanque courts. With 7 bedrooms, beautiful pool and very pleasant terraces we could hang out together or find a quiet area for some alone time. We have already booked our 2023 return and can't wait to get back! Wonderful property.

Summary: We stayed in this beautiful home with two families: a total of 4 adults, 4 adolescents/teenagers, 2 teenagers and 2 kids. It worked out perfectly. The house and garden are large enough for all of us to spend time alone, or with each other. To swim, to play table tennis, to read a book in the garden, to FaceTime with friends in one of the sitting rooms somewhere in the house, to stroll around in the lovely town or just sit on the upper terrace of the house and enjoy the view. The pool is a great plus and safely fenced off, the younger kids (7 years) could go and get bread at the bakery in town on their own(traffic is low and slow), it was just perfect. We found the house offered everything we needed: we were able to cook for 12 people, we used the barbecue several times, and there were some great restaurants at walking distance. We stayed during a very warm week, but the walls of the house are thick, there are shutters everywhere, and in each bedroom there was a fan, so even the bedrooms on the top floor were rather comfortable, we slept well. The outside terrace of the restaurant just next to the house can be a bit lively on a weekend evening - but that stops before midnight, and church bells may wake you up on Sunday morning. Nevertheless, we found that to be part of the wonderful experience of being in the center of such a lovely historic town. Day trips to Nice(<1hr), Gorges du Blavet (30 mins)and Lac de Saint Cassien (20 mins) made our vacation complete.
