(10-2024) Hi Lydia
We had a wonderful holiday in Beynac - the house was lovely, the pool was great and the gardens fabulous. Best of all I think was the owners who looked after us superbly - M. Jean-Bernard had to put up with my schoolboy French but nothing was too much trouble and was always there with a smile to help - not that there was anything to help with as the holiday ran very smoothly.
KInd regards,

We got back safely from our long drive. We loved the house and our time in the beynac/ Sarlat areas. We will definitely be back at some time.

(08-2023) Dear Lydia,
We had a fantastic week in Beynac. Actually way too short! We have never rented such a super clean house and everything was there. From enough kitchen utensils to nice sunbeds by the pool. And what a magnificent place! Wonderfully quiet and yet close to the sights. We enjoyed the house and garden and so did our dog. The swimming pool was also wonderful to cool down. It's nice that you can cover this with a roll cover in the evening, so that the temperature remains nice.
It is also nice that you are welcomed by the nice owners upon arrival and immediately receive a brief explanation of equipment, etc. in the house and that they show you around. The bottle of wine was also much appreciated.
Via We Transfer I will send some photos that we took during this fantastic week.
Maybe see you next year!
Salut,

Again enjoyed a great holiday in the Perigord. The house fully met our expectations, neatly in order with everything on and on. The friendly owners ensure that guests can enjoy a pleasant and undisturbed stay. The beautiful garden has a beautiful view over the hills and yet offers a lot of privacy. In the evening you can enjoy the sunset from the spacious terrace with roof.
Some of the many pluses: quiet location; there is much to discover in the immediate vicinity; pleasant and spacious garden with well-maintained swimming pool and the tasteful decoration of the interior.
A large table on the terrace would certainly be desirable for larger families, that was not an issue with the two of you. In the garden there is a large round table suitable for 8 people. Contrary to what is stated in the data, there is an outdoor shower at the pool with 8 comfortable sun loungers.
Charly takes care of the lawn maintenance, the robotic lawnmower that does its work in silence but rests during the day. This time again we made a number of new discoveries in the Perigord, our favorite region in France.
In short, had a very nice holiday with three weeks of beautiful weather.
Thank you and will definitely repeat

Dear Lydia and Thijs,
Yes we enjoyed! I will also post a review on the site.
I have sent Lydia 10 photos of the interior and exterior of the villa in Beynac that Theo has made via your email.
Everything was very nice: clean, large, beautiful location, fully equipped and in a beautiful environment. We swam, I went for a long walk, Theo played golf once and we made a lot of trips in the area.
The only suggestion we would have for the owners themselves (that may have been said more often) is a dining table on the terrace. When the weather is nice it is nice to eat outside and you can take the food down to the terrace by the pool, but that is quite a hassle.
If you replace the small round table on the terrace with a not too large dining table, that would be an improvement in our opinion.
Thanks again for your mediation.
Love,
Theo and Renee

A beautiful house in a beautiful place. A house where everything is right, in terms of kitchen utensils and furnishings. The house was very clean, rarely seen. We would love to come back here again!

What a beautiful, spacious house. And above all a beautiful large garden with swimming pool. And the environment is beautiful!
Because the garden is completely fenced, also along the road, it is safe for children and dogs.
The owners are very nice, we received a bottle of wine on arrival and on departure. Problems are solved immediately.
The photo of the room is dated, now everything is white and beige.

(08-2021) Dear,
Nothing but praise for our stay in Beynac.
Despite the changeable, fresh weather, we still enjoyed the beautiful, well-kept garden with clean pool and plenty of sunbeds. Cozy aperitifs on the terrace and lovely sitting and eating close to the bbq.
A quietly located villa with every comfort inside and out and everything neatly maintained. We are fans.
Best regards,

A superb, immaculate comfortable house with all the necessary amenities. An impeccable garden, and a breathtaking view of the countryside. Absolute silence, just pleasantly broken by the song of the birds. A magnificent starry sky for amateurs, because no light pollution at night. The swimming pool: great, comfortable tanning on the deckchairs! Basic shopping 4 km away, large supermarkets 1/4 hour away! As for our guests, they are welcoming, warm and friendly! A big thank you to them!

(07-2020) Dear Lydia,
I will be very happy to stay in contact with you.
Beynac's house near Sarlat was beautiful, clean and comfortable.
The landscape all in relief was very beautiful. You just had to sit on the lawn at the end of the afternoon to be disconnected of everything and to see a beautiful sunset facing the pool.
I'm sending you some photos.
We will get back to you for a next rental.
Kind regards,

The region was very beautiful, all around. Everything went well, the house matched the advertised description. The appliances and dishes were of good quality. Large hollow dishes (raviers) were perhaps missing for appetizers or family salads.
The garden had pretty spots with shade. It was perhaps missing a game of pétanque to be able to play on the only flat part in front of the house at the end of the lawn.
Kind regards.

Hello, everything went well. The house was perfect, just like your services.
If we come to this region again in the future, we will certainly do this via FranceVilla because the service is perfect.

(10-2018) Hi Lydia,
We are now safely back in Australia.
Pascale and Jean Bernard were wonderful- and we shall be eternally grateful for their help and kindness. They are great people.
Our friends from the UK joined us during the middle week and they had a wonderful time exploring the surrounding attractions, of which there are many. We know France reasonably well, having had several extended stays in the past. This region is right up there among the best we have experienced.
Regarding your own services- I am happy to have dealt with you and would do so again under appropriate circumstances. I remember you calling me up when I first made my enquiry. I take this as a real positive for both Tenant and Owner , and one differentiator of the service you offer. It is as important for tenants, as it is for Owners, to have assurance and personal service when the outlay, and risk, is significant.
It's too early for us to start contemplating future trips but in the event we do, we shall check with you again on the availability of properties.
We would consider returning to Beynac.
I haven't checked, but I assume our bond has been returned intact.
Please keep in touch with any offers or suggestions.
Warm regards
David M.
(09-2018) Hi Thijs,
sorry this is so late, we would like say a huge thank you for our delightful accommodation for our holiday. Everything seemed to be carefully thought out and left nothing wanting. We would have no hesitation in recommending your house to others and would certainly book again. Once again thank you so much for a superb holiday and also for our deposit return.
kind regards

We had a great holiday in Villa Beynac. Unforgettable. Magnificent house, a fantastic location and a great garden for our dogs. A realy clean house, (you could eat from the floor). The garden was well fenced, except for a small piece at the front where our youngest dog soon had a hole in the hedge and made use of it gratefully. We held him the rest of the vacation behind the house, where he had more than enough space to lose all his energy.
Thank you again for the great guidance and service during the bookingprocess.
Cordial greetings,
Jan
(08-2017) Dear Lydia,
Many thanks for everything, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Beynac last month.
I will make sure that I forward pictures and write up a review soon.
Best wishes
Chris
(06-2016) Hello Lydia,
As you know we had a couple of snags whilst we were at Beynac but they were addressed and resolved very well by Pascale and Jean-Bernard.
The house is lovely and we were very happy there – if a little sad to leave after a month!
An excellent holiday and I attach a couple of photos that I took which I hope you find useful.
Kind regards
John and sue
(07-2015) Hi Thijs,
Sorry this had taken so long...
Here is a short review for the Beynac house:
The Beynac house is delightful, set on a hill overlooking rolling countryside and the beautiful pool and barbecue areas. It is well equipped and maintained, with the friendly and helpful owners being close at hand by email or phone (polish up your French!). They own a restaurant in the nearby town of Belves - definitely worth a visit especially on market night when you can buy and eat food in the village square.
Beynac itself is self sufficient and has everything you could need, including a well stocked shop that is open on Sunday afternoons when the supermarkets are not.
It's very easy to get into Sarlat from here, where there is always something going on including numerous street acts and an outdoor theatre during the summer.
It is possible to walk from Beynac to the house or to cycle from the village but this is not for the faint hearted as it is mostly up hill - a car is a must. Bikes can be hired in the nearby village of Castlenaud from Bike Bus.
Kind regards
Kate
