Thank you Anne for your lovely comments - it's much appreciated. Hope to see you again 'chez-nous' one day.

Thanks Philip for the great review (always much appreciated!) - delighted you all enjoyed your stay, and hope to welcome you back to Quarante one of these days. Sarah

Thanks for your review. I'm very happy that you enjoyed your stay at Quarante!

Thanks Dean for this lovely review (they're always much appreciated!). It was great to have your family stay at our house, and to know that you enjoyed it, means a lot to me! Hope to welcome you back here one day.

Thank you very much for your lovely review, and I'm so pleased that you enjoyed your stay at the house and Quarante. And yes, we are lucky having such a good restaurant within walking distance. I hope we might have the pleasure of seeing you again at Quarante one day.

Hi Margaux, I'm so sorry that you had a bad experience. We had just recently evicted some pigeaons from our loft space which obviously had the unexpected result of them hanging around on a ledge over the front door waiting to be allowed back in. With the onset of colder weather the problem is reducing slowly as the pigeons are moving on and finding new shelter. I'm so sorry too that you had to deal with some dead birds - unfortunately I was away and couldn't come and deal with them myself. It is regrettable that I was away during this time otherwise I would have cleaned up for you. More than anything I am very distressed that you found the washing machine full of mould, as I like to keep a very clean and tidy house. I have been to the house to see about the lock to the bathroom door, and can see that the lock has become a bit sticky, so thank you for letting me know about it (I never lock the bathroom door when am I there cleaning, so I was not awre of the problem). When people ask me how far away the beach is from Quarante I always tell them it is half and hour: I have never told anyone it is 20 minutes away; on the site I think somewhere it is mentionned that the coast is about 20 miles away (when we started renting our property, our publicity was with a UK company that was later taken over by other international companies) - I wonder if this is where the 20 minutes idea comes from. Apologies again for a sub-par experience.

Merci Martine pour votre commentaire - j'apprecie beaucoup. C'était un vrai plaisir de rencontrer vous, votre mari et votre ami.

Merci Caroline pour votre gentil appréciation - cela me fait vraiment plaisir de savoir que la maison était à l'hauteur de vos attentes. Et une grande merci à toute la famille d'avoir laissé la maison aussi propre à votre départ - aussi très apprécié!

Merci beaucoup Natacha - j'ai beaucoup apprécié votre gentillesse. J'espère que j'aurai le plaisir de vous revoir un jour à Quarante

Merci beaucoup Emmanuelle pour votre commentaire sympa (et d'avoir laissé la maison si propre - avec 2 jeunes enfants et un bébé à gérer, je suis admirative!)
