We admired the intelligence
There are not enough superlatives to describe the contemplative life we found here. We admired the intelligence displayed in the renovation of the house maintaining the integrity of the original and making changes that only enhanced the pleasures of the house. We wish you well and continuing enjoyment in the home you lovingly labored to bring back to life for the pleasure of all who reside here.

house is a splendid place
This house is a splendid place to spend a week of family-time, away from our normal fast-paced, hectic lifestyle. The pool was just perfect for cooling off in the intense Burgundy sunshine. An experience not to be missed, thank-you for sharing your house!

What a wonderful holiday!
What a wonderful holiday! Thank you for allowing us to use your home, which has obviously been lovingly restored. We have all enjoyed our excursions to the surrounding areas, to the Morvan, Sancerre, Pouilly-sur-Loire and many others. We have had much pleasure watching the swallows, swifts and gold finches. Thank you once again, we would love to visit again.

The weather has been beautiful and we have loved having the pool to swim in each day. Your house is lovely with some distinctive pieces of furniture. We were fascinated to see your book of how you transformed the house into the present style – so light with beautiful colours, textures and fabrics. All your wonderful books and music have given our summer quite a cultural flavour. Our visits to surrounding towns of interest and the wonderful restaurants nearby have made our stay so enjoyable.

We have had a great family time here. The house is really beautiful and intersting, and I have spent most of my time reading your fabulous books and looking at your photograph album of the house. I am impressed that you are willing to share this place with guests. I will treasure the hot days by the pool and the beautiful natural garden and the great surrounding. Thank you for what you have offered to us.
