| Quite simply this list is endless…testament to this gorgeous property, stunning region, and inspiring ad-hoc Madame Amanda Taylor-Ace! Once you have been you will understand why!
So here are just a very few from this last season... |
"This is a truly magical place in the world that you have stumbled onto. This has been much more than a “vacation” in a beautiful house and area you have taken us in as part of your family, introduced us to your amazing circle of friends that I am starting to miss already. This is a very hard place to say goodbye to. I will remember this stay forever and am already thinking of ways to come back!"

"Have I been dreaming? No, I have only been lucky enough to find my little gem of heaven here in you “House of the Mistress”. Amanda, your full life living, rose drinking, laughing, parties, food, big necklace wearing, vivacious ways have made a huge amazing impact on my paradise. Highlights: Millions of sunflowers, lavender lawns, cookin’, potato slicin’ , wine drinkin’ blue skies pool and Pont du Gard. THANK YOU FOR PARADISE!"

"I can only describe this trip as tongue tantalising. The food there was sooo GOOD! Three meals a day of pure deliciousness. I can’t wait to do this again, and I will…if not with my Dad, then I will when I am older but I shall come back!"

"Amanda, thank you for being our Kiwi Goddess as each day has been a dream of perfection. Your home has become the castle of our fantasies as each day has been an adventure. Your vivacious love for life that surrounds you has made every dinner, drink, and jump in the pool a memorable one. The markets, cafes and people have all surpassed our every expectation. Our time here will never be forgotten and our new found love for Provence will never fade."

"Thank you so much for having us! We had an amazing time, the house and pool have been great and it was lovely meeting you all. You’ve been the life of the party all week, making all of us really feel at home here. It was wonderful to meet your friends and family (especially Luce!) you two are quite the pair! I am sure it won’t be long until we are back in Uzes!"

| "Two weeks ago I came with my three teens to enjoy some special time with them and take in the Provencal countryside – its beauty, its food and its culture. You declared that in the first 20 minutes of meeting me that I would leave a “changed person”. I thought you had some nerve to make that kind of statement, for (A) I was perfectly content the way I was and was not seeking a change, and (B) even if I was looking to change in some way I could not imagine how a two week vacation and a revelling hostess could possibly make an impact on a 56 year old man.
Well Amanda, I was wrong. I AM different, I can’t put my finger on it, but certainly you were an inspiration to all of us. Southern California has a reputation for being “laid back”, however you have set new standards for being relaxed, all the while of running an inn of sorts in warm of hospitality. You and our experience here will not be forgotten. We especially enjoyed meeting and partying with the other guests and various friends. Thank you!
To future guests: We had two weeks, which was not enough. Rather suggesting things you shouldn’t do, I will only say that we followed Amanda’s suggestions and that was all we needed in terms of guidance. We had one “adventure” or site per day and tried to arrive back for some time around the pool before the cocktail hour. I suggest you take at least one day as a rest day, just to lay around the pool. The environment is guaranteed to relax. If you wish to discuss this further out experience here, please feel free to contact me…dhall@arcturusvc.com"
