REVIEWS
The best feature of the accommodation was the totally amazing view. Greatly located and a high quality holiday home. Can’t wait for the 2022 holidays, I much hope Villa Amandier could be available for us then - Mr B. from Germany, July 21.
It was wonderful. We met they owners on arrival and they were a charming couple, showing us around their lovely home. The villa was beautiful - well-equipped with everything we needed. The lounge, dining and kitchen area was fun - unshut plan and on different levels with glass doors unshuting out all along onto terraces with amazing views. The outdoor living area was our favourite, with 2 different eating areas and the cosiest lounge area under cover. I can`t not mention the astounding views which we never tired of looking at - every hour the view changed - the sunsets were beautiful. Paul was amazing at being in contact with us, helping us find just what we were looking for, and offering us flexible options to fit in with our plans.We had the best holiday - I would say though, it would be worth putting up a couple more photos of the views on the villa details - maybe a night-time view or a sunset (we took lots!) - Mrs W. from Kent, August 17
Third time back here and loved it more than ever. The newly installed aircon in the master bedroom enhanced our comfort. The wonderful views from every room still never fail to blow us away. Stayed in many rental accommodations but this is up there with the best. Hope to be back for a fourth time...Mrs R. from Middlesex Aug 16
Can`t praise it enough!! The owners were delightful and had left a full fridge plus much more for us. The accommodation was 5* and was the best place we have ever rented! I could go on and on!! Please pass this on to them! (How satisfied were you with the property ?) Very Satisfied - Mrs R. from Middlesex, July 12.
