"The Gîte is excellent and attention to detail is unsurpassed - everything you could possibly need has been thought of and provided. The peace and tranquility is wonderful and seeing the stars in the clear night sky is breathtaking" 25/9/2008

"We have been Gîteing for more than 30 years and we think Le Tastevin is probably one of the very best we have ever found" 15/8/2009

"When we go home, we know we're going to
somewhere comfortable, homely & with
lovely neighbours....and that's what
we have experienced here - somewhere
we felt "At home" straight away.....
Theres obviously a lot of "professionalism"
in the running, equiping and maintenance of the gîte, but it's carried out so personally.
