Exceptional Manor House with Private Pool, centre of medieval Seillans, France Reviews

Friends and I stayed at this wonderful property - perfect for exploring the area (up to the local mountains, surrounding hilltop villages, Grasse, Antibes. Fully equipped kitchen, great BBQ area (we had birthday steak and veg), and plenty of room to spread out and enjoy ourselves. I think the terrace off of the family room was the best place to enjoy our dinners, though the loungers around the pool were a close second! Each couple had their own bedroom/bathroom floor (nice!) We went to a couple of the local restaurants in the area (Chez Hugo for drinks and the one right across the street from us for dinner. Both were terrific!!) Love the bells chiming during the day and to see the locals play bocce ball at night. This was our second year to the property and I hope to be there again next year.

This was our third visit and it was every bit as good as remembered. This time we came with two other families with children 16 to 23. Everyone had a terrific stay, enjoying the peace of the house and village, and only slightly less peaceful outings to Faience for the Tuesday market, and every day for a walk from the village. Super U provided all our cooking needs, the village boulangerie perfect for morning croissants and the restaurant across the road could not be a more lovely setting. We did miss the bottom of the hill bar and were sad for them that the village cannot support a second bar. It seems astonishing that such a beautiful village is not swarming with thirsty tourists, but at the same time, mostly it's a relief that it's not.

Had a wonderful stay with the family in this beautiful house. It has all the facilities to house a number of families, great location to the local village and surrounding towns and cities. Spent a day in Monaco which was a about an hours drive away and had a day on the sea, superb. The local vineyards are a pleasure to visit and the vineyard owners extremely friendly and accommodating. The owners made sure our stay went without hitch. I hope we get the chance to go back soon, to visit of the hills and seaside towns. Wonderful, wonderful holiday.

This is the 3rd year staying at this remarkable property. (I am booked for the next two years also), I need a large villa for my culinary tours as a base and this villa fits the bill! Everything mentioned in the listing is correct! The village where it is is so quaint and small.. You feel like part of the community in fact! The views from the rooms are breathtaking. One side you get the village with the towering church (Bells to wake you up at 8am!) to the other side your view is the valley.

As a 3 generation family of 11 people we spent 8 wonderful days in beautiful Seillans. With plenty of space indoor (including 3 bathrooms!) and outdoor (including a lovely swimmingpool!), the manor was a perfect housing for us. Very well equipped, well maintained and extremely charming we fell in love with the house and the garden. The house provides good cooking opportunites if you want to cook at home and has spacely dining areas outside as well as inside. Nice restaurants in the neighboorhood made dining out easy as well, as we had walking distance . We also had excellent meals in other nearby villages.

Seillanse is in a perfect place for exploring the area so wether you want to visit the coast or the charming villages in Provence, all is within a short daytrip (approximately 40 minutes to the sea). We combined trips a.o to Antibes, Gordes de Verdon and St Tropez with some relaxing days in the calm village of Seillans and in "our own" garden, making our holiday a perfect one! The area is also nice for walking and jogging as the surrounding area is really beautiful.

We would love to come back and would certainly recommand this lovely manor to anyone who would like a relaxing holiday in this area full of charm and history!

We had a lovely holiday with friends and family. The house provided the space to enable everyone to get together for meals etc but still find their own space to relax in peace. The village is lovely and the restaurant is only 50 yards away. It was so good we ate their 5 times in 8 days.

The surrounding villages and countryside give a good contrast to the delights of Cannes, Nice and Monte Carlo.

And the owner Andy is so helpful and informative. You cannot go wrong booking this house.

After a busy week in Paris, our stay here was a lovely counterpoint. Relaxing by the pool, walking in the village, and exploring the countryside. The house is wonderful for several families (lots of space to spread out), games and puzzles for the rainy days (had a couple during our stay), big area for everybody to eat - both inside and out, ate fresh figs and grapes from the property. Felt so french to walk into the village to get baguettes for breakfast. Property is nicely located to be able to do several day trips in the area; hilltop villages, Monte Carlo, the beaches, hiking, rafting the "grand canyon" of France. Shops close enough to get groceries easily and kitchen nicely set up to cook dinners. Highly recommend for a great family holiday!

We had a fabulous family holiday at Les Hirondelles in Seillans for the second year running. It's a beautiful house and a fabulous village and although we did lots of exploring, everyone was always pleased to get 'home' . There is so much that we like about it, but being able to walk to the boulangerie and the bar is terrific as well as being able to take proper walks directly from the house into the hills. We took trips to Mougins, Grasse and closer to home, Callian and Bergemon and our restaurant trip was to La Gloire de mon pere, directly opposite the house and it was delicious and good value. The house is lovely and I highly recommend it.

We had a delightful holiday in Seillan in May. The villa has true character in a stunning location - you really feel part of the amazing historic village. The house had a remarkable family feel which we enjoyed from the start, and children in particular loved the wide staircases and different levels especially the table football tucked away in the original entrance hall on the lowest level! And of course screams of joy rang from the swimming pool whenever we were home!

I can honestly say that the listing description is accurate, the property was very clean and well maintained, there was brilliant "customer service" - with excellent information made available though an app we could put on the i-phone. I would absolutely recommend this to a friend or to family - and to you as you are reading this!

Such a beautiful house in the most perfect location. Would definitely recommend for a relaxing week. Avoid travelling to the beaches ... just enjoy the local area. Worth doing a trip to Gore du Verdon though.
