Unparalleled cycling experince in Provence.
"Nat & Neil, our checkout day has arrived, and we are sad to go! What a lovely time we have enjoyed at your beautiful villa.
Cycling in Provence was a long-delayed goal from the summer of 2020, but it was worth the wait!
Thank you for accommodating us in every way!
The detail & preparation you put into every part of our experience is unparalleled!!
From suggesting daily rides based on predicted wind conditions, to reserving spots at some extraordinary local restaurants,
you helped us to make every moment count.
You have our higher recommendation, and we can't wait to return!."

Neil & Nat, where to start - AMAAZZING!!
"Thank you both so much for a great week at your gorgeous bike villa, the best equipped we have ever stayed in and your
website photos don't do it justice.
We will be back but next time and next year for 2 whole weeks - can wait!!
A very big special thanks Nat for your daily helpful and informative visits and restaurants bookings - UMAMI is a delight!
And finally the pool - swam in it last night at 30+C before bed - fabulous!!
Very very sad to leave - wish we had booked longer but looking forward to coming back next year."

Would thoroughly recommend the experience to others.
"We are just back home from a fantastic week with family in Neil and Nat's lovely cycle villa with a
good-sized pool in Taillades. It's only a short distance from Avignon, so we found it very easy and pleasant to travel on the Eurostar
service that runs direct from London via Ashford to Avignon in the summer, with a rental car from the station.
The bikes are all first class and faultlessly maintained. Neil and Nat provide routes pre-loaded on
Garmin GPS, which makes it so easy to follow without effort or stress, so you can just enjoy
the rides. There is a great variety of excellent routes to choose from with lots of information about
difficulty, what to see, and where to stop for a meal or just for a drink. After the first day my wife decided she would like
to try an e-bike, and Neil came over to deliver one the same day, at a very reasonable rental cost.
All the equipment was first class. The villa is very roomy, modern, clean and comfortable. Neil and Nat are so friendly
and helpful. This was our second cycle holiday in Neil and Nat's villa, we will be going again I am sure, and we would
thoroughly recommend the experience to others."

I would recommend this experience to anyone who enjoys 5* comfort combined with awesome cycling in the Luberon.
"Dear Neil & Nat - Our first time & hopefully not our last! We have so thoroughly enjoyed staying at your gorgeous Les Taillades Villa.
Everything we hoped for! I would recommend this experience to anyone who enjoys 5* comfort combined with awesome
cycling in the Luberon.
We were so very lucky to experience this, thank you so much for running this for tourists. All the very best!"

Nat’s villa in Taillades was a wonderful choice.
"Neil and Nat’s villa in Taillades was a wonderful choice for our adult family of 5 to meet up in Europe
and holiday together. Choosing from the 30 odd self ride routes Neil has designed ensured we always rode on quiet picturesque country
lanes and paths, while Nat would book us in for a fabulous lunch at a hilltop village that we never would have discovered ourselves.
After not too strenuous exercise, we enjoyed some lazy time by the pool back at the villa while cooking a bbq for dinner.
The villa itself was by far the best accommodation we had whilst in Europe and we all rated the experience 10/10
(and only one of us is a regular cyclist)!"

Just had a magical family day out along bucolic, flat, quiet lanes to a beautiful Provençal village.
"Don't think I have ever to been to a rental villa where everything works and everything is such tip top quality. Neil & Nat really have
thought this out so carefully and beautifully, I suspect with a very generous budget. Really is a proper home from home - just a lot tidier
than ours! And super convenient, with a restaurant and bakery a stroll away & a big supermarket a five minutes drive.
Have just had a magical family day out along bucolic, flat, quiet lanes to a beautiful Provençal village (and lunch and more rose).
The bikes are great, but the whole GPS idea and clearly hours and hours of research that has gone into it is just brilliant, making for such
an easy and such a lovely day. Planning our next ride as I type - just follow the GPS pink line and you will be fine!"

Highly recommended!
"We are a family of 6 and stayed at the self-catering villa in Taillades. It was splendid. We loved the set up of the villa - the huge
well-equipped kitchen, spacious living areas and comfortable rooms.
It fitted our needs to perfection - we had privacy and all the support we needed from Nat & Neil.
Our days were spent cycling on one of the many routes programmed on the GPS and Neil would point out the restaurants and highlight sights we should not miss.
The bikes were in tip-top condition and it was so helpful that they provided helmets.
Nat & Neil were helpful, engaging and wonderful hosts."

A place to visit and accommodations I would give five stars plus two!!.
"Five of us had a fabulous time with Neil and Nat. We stayed in their Villa, you do have the choice of the B&B
but we were so happy with the Villa. A 3-bedroom villa, fully stocked kitchen and a pool to cool off in.
Neil and Nat's attention to detail is the best I have seen. They listen to what you want and try their best to accommodate.
Made reservations at restaurants we thoroughly enjoyed."
Provence Bike Trip - France - Rose & Friends - Canada - Sept 17 - 5* Tripadvisor review.
All in all a fabulous holiday and highly recommended!
"We stayed at Villa Taillades in June 2017 with friends and had a brilliant time.
The villa was beautifully furnished and equipped to a high standard, and it was a comfortable and chilled place to relax after a day out
cycling, particularly the pool, as Provence was in the middle of a heat wave when we were there!
Neil and Natalene were really helpful with advice on the rides, which restaurants to try and the best places to visit.
All in all a fabulous bike holiday and highly recommended!"

I can honestly say that the Villa exceeded our expectations.
"Following our fantastic experience at Neil and Nat's B&B, my wife and I were desperate to return to Provence for more
cycling, and I can honestly say that the Villa exceeded our expectations."
