The cottage is so well appointed with every modern convenience known to mankind. Tim's new counter top and his tiling are just amazing. Between the two of you, you have created a luxurious retreat that makes it difficult at times to go out touring. Deciding where to tour was easy as you have every book and brochure to help make those decisions.
(January 2009. Pamela Waygood & Robert Jacques, who have self-catering properties in Paris, the Loire Valley and Hastings, England   See http://www.simplyspoken.com/)





No need for over-the-top recommendations, as this place sells itself. ... the recipe for a perfect vacation. Just add our glowing comments to all those who have come before.
(Cynthia and Graham Fligg, Port Moody, B.C., April/May 2008)




You couldn't ask for a better equipped gite than Lou Recantou - your photos don’t do it justice.
(Angus Davidson, March/April 2008)




[Lou Recantou] has exceeded our expectations in every way, so we are coming back again next year for 4 weeks.
(Joan and Jim Wood, Halifax, N.S., February/March 2008)




We really enjoyed our month cycling in France and to end it with a last week at the villa doing short rides, reading and relaxing by the pool was just perfect.
(Ravi & Anne, July 27 2007)




There isn't much to say that hasn't already been said by all the others, so very simply put, I will just say, "It was lovely, lovely, lovely." ... we loved it ALL.
(Barbara Allan & Ron Klapowich, Windsor, Ontario, June 2007)




...there are no words to describe our pleasure with the little stone cottage...enticing book-shelf, beautiful sitting area and well-equipped kitchen...comfy bed...Everything was delightful, perhaps even nicer than advertised and all that we could have desired it to be...the two of us couldn't have been more comfortable in our own home.
We appreciated the binder full of information on the area...
(Pat & Bill Watson, Whitehorse, Yukon, February/March 2007)






I have put a photo of myself on my desktop, sitting reading the paper (the Midi Libre) on the terrace, with lunch on the table, wine in the glass and the sun beaming down. Every time I get stressed, I look at the picture and say to myself, "What a wonderful place; in only 15 short months I'll be back."
(John Mogensen, Calgary Alberta, December/January, 2006/2007)

Our 5th visit and we're back next year for more. We've had 3 weeks of relaxing, cycling, trying new restaurants and visiting old ones.
(Dawn and Dave, Wales, August 2006)




Lou Recantou is the nicest gîte any of us have stayed in. Every comfort (including gastronomic) was at the tip of our fingers. Minervois has become our favourite wine; its fragrant bouquet, its long, long "legs", beautiful purple colour and smooth, rich, taste.
(Jen, Steve, Casey and Tara, Ontario, October 2006)
