We felt so fine in your comfortable apartment and could hardly leave beautiful Paris….

Everything was perfect, even as we imagined and shown on pictures.

What surpassed our expectations:

• very calm and quiet flat and house, neighborhood
• all kind of shops and the metro are very close to the apartment
• stable and fast internet connection
• the security box for the key is a good idea!
• very well equipped, nice and neat apartment

We are fully satisfied with the Rue du Chateau Suite and services.

Thank you so much for the nice bouquet of yellow roses!

Culinary Education Program

We just wanted to take a minute of your time to let you know what a great experience we had at the Château des Sablons. Not only was educational program stimulating and informative, it was a gastronomical extravagance. We were not sure of what we were getting into when we signed up for the class, but rest assured you exceeded our expectations.

Thank you so much for a wonderful vacation.

It was a wonderfully french culinary program in a fine french château in the center of the Loire Valley.

It was wonderful to be in the Loire again with its superb châteaux and wonderful restaurants – one of which produced the dinner of my life! Many of the gardens are outstanding, and there is a clarity in the air which I love. The Château des Sablons is most comfortable, and has been refurbished to a high standard, but watch your head in some of the bedrooms as they have internal flying buttresses!

The Annecy apartment was stunning!

The Annecy apartment was stunning, set as it is above the river with views over the old gaol and up towards the lake. We could not have asked for a more relaxing week, blessed as we were with beautiful weather. The twice weekly markets, with beautiful fresh food to choose from, became three when we were lucky enough to be there on the day that the alpine community celebrated Le Retour des Alpages, which I believe marks the return of the animals from the high summer pastures to their winter quarters. What an experience that was; music, dance, markets, crafts, animals, costumes, parades, it was just so special. Some of the highlights for us were the cruise on the lake, the drive around the lake, Chamonix Mont Blanc (stunning), the Col de la Forclaz (beautiful), the autumn colours in the mountains, walking the streets of the old city, the beautiful tastes from the Traiteur next door.



The apartment itself is so well set out. The washing machine and dryer so handy, the kitchen well appointed, bed very comfortable. We had a ball, and would love to return!

Yours sincerely,

For someone looking to immerse themselves as a Parisian – stay in the wonderfully-quiet Luxembourg Left Bank Suite!

For someone looking to immerse themselves as a Parisian – stay in the wonderfully-quiet Luxembourg Left Bank Suite! You feel like you have just moved to Paris and are experiencing day to day living. The location couldn't have been better. The information from the owners was such a great help in navigating the area. Great restaurants, cafes, pastry/bread stores, cheese shops, outdoor markets, and wine stores are within a short walk of the apartment. The Metro is also just down the hill and so easy to use. The apartment is well stocked with whatever you need. Having a kitchen to use made life so enjoyable, and was just the best for breakfast or dinner at home – especially after having picked up all kinds of fresh goodies down the street. We will be back as soon as we can!

We so much enjoyed the Rooftop Suite!

We really enjoyed the Slave Quarter Suite

We stayed in the Slave Quarter Suite for a week, and we really enjoyed it. Everything in the French Quarter felt close and easy to find. The suite was much larger than anticipated, with plenty of room, especially compared to most hotel rooms. The nights were very quiet. With no one above or below and no street noise, even folks from rural settings (like we are) should sleep well. Winston was helpful, although we really had everything we needed available in the Slave Quarter Suite. He directed us to an excellent laundry a block away, which returned our clothes folded and on hangers, just as we would have done it at home. We hope to return.

My wife and I have had the best time in Annecy. You have a lovely apartment. We really appreciated all the lovely touches that made us feel so much at home, like the flowers in the apartment on our arrival, and all the fittings and services in the apartment. The location is brilliant, and Annecy is such a beautiful place. Today was the Retour des Alpages festival. It was very special to witness it. We will return soon we hope.

With sincere thanks,

If we return to Paris we would choose to stay in the Cluny apartment again!

Thank you very much for the clear and concise instructions and information about the Cluny apartment and Paris. All the information made the trip much less stressful, and we could enjoy being in Paris and seeing everything that we wished to see. The Cluny apartment is lovely, and in a great location! It's comfortable and tastefully decorated. The only thing we had any problem with was the WiFi. It had a great signal, but we couldn't actually get connected.... We did find an internet café so it all worked out.

If we return to Paris we would choose to stay in the Cluny apartment again. We will also recommend the Cluny apartment to friends without hesitation as it is an ideal place to stay.

Many thanks,

Thank you for your hospitality and for such a glorious stay at the Chateau des Sablons!

Thank you for your hospitality and for such a glorious stay at the Chateau des Sablons in the Harvest Suite! We truly enjoyed exploring and re-discovering what the Loire Valley had to offer – its chateaux and abbeys, its foods and wines, its beautiful towns, and its people. We could stay there for months and still not see everything. Thank you again, and a la prochaine fois!

We had a perfectly marvelous time in the Luberon!

We had a perfectly marvelous time in the Luberon biking and hiking around the valley towns. It was so special – as was our little love nest from which we'd wander forth from every day.

We found that there is an ATM in Bonnieux at the Post Office. That location is much better than going to Coustellet, so you might want to update you guide books.

Le Golubet restaurant in Menerbes had really nice folks, reasonable prices, and good food. The restaurant next door is way over-priced. The chef is a snob, but he's good. In Bonnieux, the view from Les Terraces restaurant is superb and the food is good, but the waiters are Parisian – cold and aloof. Le Terrail was our favorite. It has excellent food, wonderful energy, and the treatment by the staff was great. It also had a nice view, and was a good value.

The Montparnasse area is wonderful!

We've had a lovely time in Paris. The Montparnasse area is wonderful. The Rue Du Chateau apartment is comfortable, and very well equipped. There are lovely shops nearby, as well as a metro station. The metro is extremely easy to use, but we suggest buying a book of ten tickets if you will use it often - it's cheaper. We have enjoyed everywhere that we've visited and couldn't possibly recommend only one attraction! We have also eaten at many different restaurants, and found them all to be good with friendly staff and reasonable prices.

The Annecy suite was perfect in every way!

We had a wonderful time in Annecy. The suite was perfect in every way – great location and convenient to everything. Also, thank you for the lovely flowers.

We had been to Annecy in 1992 and fell in love with the old city. When I saw the suite advertised, I knew we had to go again because the location was so familiar to us!

Thank you again for arranging access to Menerbes' Fountain View House when we had forgotten the keys!

Costas was very charming and helpful. The house itself was wonderfully cool and very French.

We enjoyed our stay. If we return to Menerbes, we hope to get in touch with you again.

Paris was great fun!

We just returned from France. Paris was great fun! We loved having the Rue Du Chateau apartment to stay in, cook our meals, and have room to move around. It was also very nice to be a little out of the hub of things....

Thank you. Until next time!

The Luxembourg apartment could not have been better.

My fiance and I returned from Paris yesterday. The Luxembourg apartment was great! The location was perfect. It could not have been better. Also, Tina came by and gave us roses, which was sweet.

We will be returning to France in 2010 and we will again rent one of your apartments. I have also recommended the apartment to my friends and family.

Thanks again.

Very truly yours,

We had a very pleasant stay at the Chateau des Sablons in the Vineyard Suite. The place is delightful, and we will suggest it to all who want to have a holiday in the Loire valley.

We are back home now, and the journey went smooth. We did our best to leave everything tidy (and not to make too much noise at 6 a.m.).

Hope we will have the chance to be your guest again.

The Edouard Jacques Studio apartment was very pleasant!

The rather run-down entrance belied a very pleasant apartment. The stairs were typically Parisian, and no worse than many of the other apartments where we have stayed in the past. The Edouard Jacques Studio was ideal for a one week stay. The flowers in the vase were a very nice welcome. Both of us agreed that the bed was the best we had ever slept in while in a Paris apartment. Even the one-armed chair at the table had its convenience for turning to watch television while eating, or getting up without obstruction. Overall your instructions were well researched, and covered most everything.

With thanks,

Paris in the winter was wonderful for me....

Everything went well, and the Marais apartment was as advertised - all the pics and directions made sense. Your advice was very well taken too (e.g. put the suitcase in the closet). The flowers, leaving a light on, and the heater on very low made the arrival very easy and comfortable especially after a long flight. The cable tv was a god send as I made sure I was home in time to watch the inauguration!

Paris in the winter was wonderful for me as I don't like the crowds (there are still plenty of tourists and people though, but much easier to get around to see what you want to see). The Rosiers apartment was ideally situated too, again as you said.

I'll definitely recommend it to friends, and may even be back some day.

Thanks again.

Best,
