REVIEW - What the critics say: (Guests' Comments)


Let us paint you a picture using the words of our guests... here are some of the reviews... (all genuine, of course)

Karishma - September 2023

Thank you for letting us stay in your gorgeous house. The soul of this place has brought us immeasurably closer.

Michael - September 2023

This house puts you in the centre of an outstanding place. The village is genuinely full of interesting and friendly people. It is a magnet for artists, artisans, writers and poets. The restaurants range from good to excellent. The nearest is only 20 metres from the front door and is one of the best with delicious food made largely from local organic ingredients. Even the beer and wine are from the area and just as nice. There is easy nearby parking. You can sit on the roof terrace and enjoy the peace and stunning surrounding countryside. The hosts also made us feel very welcome and were very easy to communicate with.

Family Collabrol - August 2023 (Translated from French)

Magnificent place that you have allowed us to 'live' for a few days. The terrace is a treasure of stars.

Juliette - August 2023 (Translated from French)

A big thank you for renting our charming house - it is very pleasant to you! We had a superb stay in Montolieu, the region is very beautiful.

Matthieu - August 2023 (translated) 

For lovers of music, book and old stones, Montolieu is perfect. Neil's place is alive, filled with small surprises and Neil's space is available. Just know that it's on the floors of a medieval village home so a little sporty, but the effort is well worth the pleasure.

Megan and Chloe - July 2023

(Megan): I am leaving empty of words and full of Montolieu. This trip has changed me forever.

(Chloe): Your house is a haven. I loved every minute of my stay here. Thank you! 

William - July 2023

I could not think of a more perfect place to spend a more perfect week with a more perfect group.

Dais and Margie - July 2023

Sign of a good holiday - we don't want to go home. We have loved our stay here - the terrace is fantastic! Of course Montolieu is wonderful - great to just wander round.

James and Catherine - March 2023

Thank you so much for sharing your piece of Heaven.

Cliff and Liz - February 2023

We have relaxed here and recharged our batteries.

Carlos - August 2022 (translated)

(From Visitor's book): All the 4 of us had well stayed in your amazing house for nearly a whole week. We've enjoyed specially your terrace because it has a lot of space and the views that you can see are wonderful and incredible. 

(From Airbnb review): Central house, charming. It has interior stairs to climb (be mindful of elderly or struggling people). I think the best time to be (is) in the spring and autumn. Neil and his wife are very attentive and friendly, and their collection of music (is amazing). We had a fantastic few days.

Perrine - August 2022

We had a lovely stay at Neil and Jane's. The house has a lot of charm and is very well located in the beautiful village of Montolieu. We will (return to) this property!!

Fabienne - July 2021

We really enjoyed our stay in Montolieu. The whole house has an amazing atmosphere, especially the breathtaking roof terrace. Also Neil's tips and guide for things to do in and around Montolieu has helped us a lot and made our experience even better. Would recommend this place without hesitation!

Muriel - July 2021 (translated))
Everything was perfect; the house, the location, the communication with Neil. We had a great stay in this beautiful village.
Claire - July 2019 (translated)
Very good stay in Montolieu. The accommodation is very typical and pleasant, with a rooftop terrace from which you can enjoy a magnificent view. Very good address well located.
Lynda - July 2019
Montolieu is a pretty little village, and Neil and Jane's place couldn't be better placed to enjoy it! Quirky it certainly is, but also very comfortable, and the terrace is a great place to enjoy a sundowner and look at the view. If you enjoy music, Neil's large, eclectic collection certainly contains something to suit all tastes. Of the restaurants we tried, the Commerce was the one the best. Great value, good food and friendly service. And Adrian in the wine shop was a mine of information and very friendly.
Gail - December 2018
We loved our stay in Montolieu and Jane and Neil's cozy maison village was perfect for us. They were so welcoming, it felt like we were staying in the home of really good friends even though we never met. It was a joy to cook in a kitchen that had absolutely everything you could ever need. Evenings were spent mining the record collection for old favourites and drinking wine from the local cave. Mornings meant coffee on the terrace with stunning views down the valley to the Pyrenees. The house is in the heart of this unique village, with shop, bakery and restaurants, as well as bookshops and artists' studios. On any given day there is a lovely local market. Neil gave us loads of top tips on the area and even drew us 3 walking maps from the front door. We can't wait to go back!
