        <p itemprop="description">My family and I have just enjoyed a wonderful fortnight at La Maison du Bonheur. Celine and Jean-Jacques are perfect hosts - very kind, helpful and welcoming, but also extremely discreet.  My children and I therefore benefitted from the fabulous pool (wholly safe for little non-swimmers), from the excitement of collecting the eggs from the hens each morning and from playing with the bigger animals.  My three-year/old was thrilled to be taken on a lead rein on the two horses - "Nuba is my favourite!" - by Celine, while her 14 year-old sister, an experienced rider, was very pleased to spend a day grooming, schooling and then hacking, again with Celine.  The horses were well-fed each day by the girls with figs from the tree in the garden - as were we all!  The house is very well-appointed and comfortable, but it is the tranquillity and privacy of the garden that makes the home such a delight to stay in.  The chlorine-free pool is wonderful, and the privacy meant that my autistic teenage son could delight in repeatedly jumping-in, laughing loudly, without my worrying that we would disturb our neighbours.  The house is a perfect base from which to explore: Bagnols-en-foret itself is charming and welcoming, and after a few days we found ourselves taking breakfast each morning sitting outside the boulangerie; we also had a couple of very amusing family suppers at the fabulous pizza restaurant.  Lac de St Cassien is a short drive away and is a must for family hilarity on a pedalo, while the beaches and creeks of St Aygulf are family friendly - shallow waters, golden sands, plenty of rocks upon which to climb and fish for crabs, and even a bouncy castle!  Surprisingly for August they were not in the least over-crowded, nor was the traffic problematic.  For my art loving daughter, trips to the Matisse Museum in Nice and the Picasso Museum in Antibes were particular highlights; we ran out of time so did not get to see the Chagall Museum nor the local chapels decorated by Matisse and Chagall - perhaps next time!  Having re-read 'Tender Is The Night' by the pool, a highlight for me was a road trip to Italy involving the holding of breath through the tunnels between Nice and Monaco, breakfast in Villefranche, a slow crawl through Cap de Ferrat and Beaulieu-sur-Mer (doing our best 'Ruprecht' impressions and then a drive up through the Italian mountains taking in the 15th century bridge at Dulceaqua and then picnicking at a hidden alpine pool under a waterfall, daring each other to jump from ever higher rocks (thanks to a local cafe owner in Pigna for sharing the secret location!).  It was a most memorable holiday for us all - thank you Celine and Jean-Jacques! I</p>

        <p itemprop="description">We had a wonderful stay at “The happy house”. Celine and Jean Jacques were very friendly and excellent hosts. The house was convenient, with a nice shady patio where we had all our meals; the kitchen opens onto this terrace. The swimming pool was beautiful, very refreshing, without chlorine and indispensable taking the weather in consideration. Every morning Celine brought us freshly picked blackberries and currants which were used for a healthy vitamin rich breakfast. We got a lot of tips for sightseeing, restaurants, beaches, etc… 
The garden was very nice with a lot of fruit trees and most important a table tennis. The horses were nice to see and the chicken sometimes produced fresh eggs. 
We can highly recommend “The Happy House” to everyone.</p>

        <p itemprop="description">Our stay was perfect. We loved the pool and the terrace for sunbathing. Having our meals on the shaded terrace facing the pool was great. The garden is charming and the kids had a great time with the horses and the lovely dog. The house is well laid out and perfect for two couples with four kids that can run around the property safely. Your welcome treat was greatly appreciated by all the adults, thank you !!  We will be back.</p>
