"Les Marignieres - absolute gorgeous villa. It is equipped with everything you could need. The outside area is excellent - there are plenty of areas to relax, eat, drink & observe the views. The boules area was used frequently during our stay & it brought the family together with lots of laughter as well as competitiveness. The pool is beautiful - perfect size to get those lengths in, having eaten more than enough the night before! The towels provided were so soft! The bedrooms are all a good size & have luxurious linen. The AC was a must. It is hard to find any faults - in fact, there aren't any! The village is a short walk away with a couple of bars & restaurants. The nearby town of Cotignac had the best market. It's a beautiful town with lots of restaurants, bars, shops & music. A must for a Tuesday morning - but arrive early for parking! We all had a wonderful week, but it went too fast. This is the only negative thing to say. Many thanks for a truly memorable holiday."
