Our stay was near perfect. The location was everything we wanted. As my partner has stayed in this area before he knew where to look for a quiet and peaceful stay. This location is perfect at it is 5 minutes from the main town and about 30 minutes away from other sites. Joanne and Lenny were amazing hosts. Super friendly and attentive. We really enjoyed our stay and will most likely be back again.
Lovely property very private a home from home very dog friendly very close to the village with shops and restaurants.
Jo and lenny the owner very friendly and would help you with places to visit and dog walks.
My husband and i had a very relaxing 10days holiday the pool was great for cooling off and kept very clean will definitely be booking to go back.
Joanne and Lenny were very helpful and informative hosts. Available when we needed them and not intrusive. We had a very relaxing week - property ideal for a couple wanting a quiet break with a short walk to the village.
We had two wonderful weeks in this nice house in La Garde Freinet. Everything was very clean and fresh, and the kitchen was well equipped. We enjoyed the lovely pool and the garden. The old and charming village with all facilities was just seven-minutes walk away. The beautiful surroundings invited to unforgettable walks. We did many car trips to the see, vineyards, Grand Canyon and small villages nearby.
We would like to thank the host couple for all hospitality.

We hugely enjoyed our week in this cottage just outside La Garde Freinet - literally a 7 minute walk away. The cottage is very well-equipped, spacious and comfortable. Although the owners live next door and use the pool, they are extremely welcoming and are careful to create some seclusion around the lovely pool. We used it as a base for touring the area and would entirely agree that it is a great place from which to explore this beautiful region of France. The village of LGF is delightful and has enough shops to keep you supplied with all the basics and provide a range of dining alternatives. We hope to return soon. If you are looking for a good value, comfortable, welcoming base from which to explore Le Midi, look no further.
The property has a shower room that houses an old cabinet style shower cubicle, the runners to the shower were dirty and rusty. No tiles on the walls just wall paper which is unhygienic. We really did not like using the bathroom facilities. For some reason they were not topping up the pool by more than a foot which meant the water level was below the filtration outlets, hence we did not use the pool. It was right next to the main road to LG Freinet so extremely noisy as it is a hill climb so we did not spend time around the property. The shower room needs completely ripping out and a new tray and cubicle fitted along with new sink and toilet and the walls tiling so that they can be properly cleaned. The rest of the cottage was nice and the owners very friendly and helpful.
Wir wurden sehr freundlich empfangen.
Unsere beiden Gastgeber sind super lieb.
Sie waren stets um unser Wohlbefinden bemĂŒht.
Wir kamen als Fremde und gingen als Freunde.
Lovely property with pool, outdoor dining under canopy - very romantic. The hosts couldn't have been nicer - welcoming and helpful. 2minutes outside La Garde Freinet - very pretty village with restaurants etc. Overall 5 stars!
We (german couple, 59 and 55) had a brilliant week at Joanne's and Lenny's (english couple) villa. 5 minutes walk to the center of La Garde-Freinet, a living village with nice places for breakfast, dinner and drinks or ice cream. Only some 20 km to gorgeous beaches. And of course the villa's pool righ in front of the bedroom door. Our hosts, living in the villa, are lovable people, striking a perfect balance between leaving privacy and being ready for a chat or providing some sightseeing / restaurant recommendation. It is worthwhile trying their recommendations. They are unique and we enjoyed every single one. We will always remember this week, especially also the jolly last evening with its generous farewell drinks đ.
We couldnât have been made more welcome or looked after any better by Joanne and Lenny. Nothing was too much trouble for them; they advised on beaches and restaurants as well as lending us inadequately prepared travellers beach loungers and umbrella.
The location is beautiful, the village lovely and the French Riviera is in easy reach. A thoroughly enjoyable experience.
We are travelling back to the UK after a stunning 10 days here. Our first holiday without kids... this was a perfect haven to enjoy the sun, relax around the fantastic outdoor area, walk into the village for a drink, walk the dog, cycle, run or a base to explore the glorious Riviera. It couldnât have been more perfect! The cottage is perfect for a couple and a dog... immaculately clean and has everything you need... we loved it.. after a bbq... snuggled up on the sofa, watching Netflix and drinking the local wine. We have stayed many times in France .. at many different regions and in many different types of property and I have to say that the hosts were outstanding... Jo and Len were wonderful... there if needed ... but made it feel like the place was ours. They were fantastic with Jasper our dog... he loved them and often wandered into their house to say Hi ... he didnât want to leave. This is a beautiful property hosted by lovely people... I have no hesitation in giving it 5 stars. Thanx Jo and Len fit everything.
Never again!! The cottage, pool and area were not clean at all!
Mold in the shower and mushrooms in the pool. The grass was not riden off all week and you can see weeds all over the place. Bikes and dogs were not welcome. We loved La Garde-Freinet and its surroundings but the cottage and his owners were very disappointing. Also a lot of noise from street and owners when you are by the pool. They want to sell it and you can geel that. Jo and Len, please stop renting it and ripping people off!
My wife, two small dogs booked this villla for two weeks over the summer. The villa was lovely and spacious, very comfortable. The pool area was lovely with lots of various seating areas to relax and dine in. The dogs enjoyed their stay, able to run around comfortably and they had plenty of shaded areas if needed. Not that we used it much but there are some English television channels available, which is nice when you getting ready to go out. Parking is not problem, plenty of room for the largest of cars.
The hosts are amazing, such lovely people, they explained everything so well, their meet and greet was spot on. They left us well alone and we also enjoyed their company when they were around, they keep a low profile which is good but are on hand if you need anything. You couldnât ask for better hosts anywhere, great characters and very knowledgeable about all the areas to list.
Itâs a small walk to the town, which boasts some of the best restaurants youâll ever eat in, quality food and not expensive, the owners and staff make you feel very welcomed. You will enjoy the nights out their for sure.
There are plenty of places to walk, amazing scenery. You couldnât wish for a more beautiful place to vist in the countryside.
I would definitely book again in the future. The peacefulness of the area and villa made me so relaxed after a long hard year working.
Thank you Joanne and Lenny for everything and my birthday card. We hope to see you again soon.
Regards
