"First impression of Joie de Vivre - spectacularly perfect and that will also form our lasting impression. We truly had a wonderful and relaxed time and the villa did not disappoint on any level.

The Cook Joycelyn, is an absolute gem of a lady. She spent many days with us producing anything and everything in the way of local and traditional culinary delights (my mouth’s watering as I type!). She’s an incredibly competent cook and a lovely lady with a heart of gold. We had a lot of time for Joycelyn and enjoyed her presence.

As regards to the management team, Marie was a sweetheart and met us at the airport and showed us the important things we needed to get to grips with (ie the safe and the alarm!). She was a constant source of local information and always available to assist.

We will return to Joie de Vivre the same time next year to top up our tans before winter descends on us once again.

Thank you for organising everything for us and a big thanks to Marie too."
