In over 20 years of vacationing we have never had such a perfect place to stay. We wanted for nothing! Everything about this place and this area was perfect. We were thrilled to be able to borrow the bikes, and to follow a couple of the routes you recommended. Heaven! The "bible" (note from Susan: that's the thick binder of information we provide to our guests) was indispensable! Thank you for your spectacular organization and wonderful gîte.

Our third visit and I could still go on . . . . but I will just say - it only gets better!

Doug and Evelyn, Calgary, Alberta, September 2011

. . . . whenever I went to look for something, I would say, "it must be here somewhere - everything we could possibly need is here - and I would find it in some logical place" . . . . Thanks, also, for your library . . . . there are some wonderful books about the history of this area. . . . We are so pleased to now be among the Londoners who can say, "oh, you must be going to Susan and Tim's."

(Bishop) Robert and Pat Townshend, London Ontario, September 2011

When we arrive outside the gate to Susan and Tim's pretty house and look up at the flower boxes on the private terrace of l'Ancien Pressoir, we breathe a huge sigh of contentment. Ahhh. . . we're home.

L'Ancien Pressoir has been very comfortable & certainly has all, & more, of the conveniences of home. A wonderful place/nest to return to every day.

10 years after our first stay and the perfection of this gîte and the astonishing beauty of the Minervois . . . . still endure.

Mindy & Greg & Ben, London, Ontario, January 2011

A wonderful week where everything went perfectly!.... superb accommodations.... the ideal home from which to explore and to so enjoy our time here.

Marty & Anne, Ontario, October 2010

L'Ancien Pressoir has exceeded our expectations....I think you have thought of everything anyone might need while on vacation. I can't make any suggestions.

Nils & Pat, Alberta, Canada, October, 2010

What a great experience it has been for our first trip to France. Everything was perfect. Our stay at L'Ancien Pressoir, the countryside, small towns, vineyards and the people were more than we ever expected. This is a trip we will cherish forever and hope to be back soon.

This is the first time we have rented an apartment (or house for that matter)..... We thoroughly liked this type of experience and will do it again -- only one problem: we think we started at the top and any other apartment or house would only disappoint us as we compared it to here!

Hugh & Susan, Texas, Sep/Oct 2010

It took years for us to get here - and thank goodness we finally did! The apartment astonished us ... The binder supplied so much information ... This was our first experience renting a gîte and I fear you have spoiled us for ever renting elsewhere. This is the benchmark!
The Minervois surpassed our expectations. Two weeks of pursuing tiny roads and we feel we have just scratched the surface.

Felt just like coming home but without the hassles. What could be more relaxing? The super friendly village restaurant and a lovely evening at La Fourchette Folle were highlights.

Tricia & David, Manchester U.K., July 2008

Wishing you all the best but not too much success in filling your gîte for years to come, so there will be room for us!

Patsy and David, Gibsons B.C., June 2008

A week, alas, is far too short for this magical place. ... Every day was superb and we can’t wait to come back...your place stood out among many others we visited as a template for how things should be done, i.e. all the thoughtful furnishings, including fine library, and the detailed material on where to eat, shop, etc.

Leslie & Erik Peterson, Vancouver B.C., May 2008

When you stay at l'Ancien Pressoir it immediately becomes home. Thanks again so much, for another wonderful two weeks of great weather, great food, great wine and the greatest places on earth to explore! We love this place!

Doug & Evelyn Smith, Calgary, September 2007

...the perfect place to rest, relax, read, sleep, walk, destress and eat!

John M., Calgary, Alberta, July 2007

What a delight it has been to spend these last two weeks in your beautiful L'Ancien Pressoir. Your vision has created a very special home away and is a place we will long return to in our memories.

Marg & Bill Lynn, Montréal, Québec, March 2007
