Surroundings
Cotignac named the petit Saint Tropez du Var is a beautiful village located in the Green Provence. Our house is perfectly located for visiting the many surrounding villages although there is a lot of activity in the village itself during the summer months.

You will find many restaurants mainly on the Cours Gambetta seven minutes from the house on foot.
An open-air theater with a varied program throughout the season: classical and modern concerts, cinema, Opera etc.

The cotignac market every Tuesday morning (7 min from the house on foot) is located on the Cours Gambetta in the shade of the big plane trees, in the center of the village.

Around the village you should not miss to visit the cave cliff and its Saracen towers. We warmly recommend the website of Provence verte with its walks, hikes etc. http://la-provence-verte.net/ot_cotignac/

Great location for a summer in Provence!!!!
Les Temps des Secrets was perfect for our trip to Provence! It was centrally located to all of the areas we wanted to visit and the pool was perfect for rest days or to cool off on hot summer nights. We also loved that we could pop into the village for meals, the market, or just pain au chocolat. And the property managers were excellent and helpful!

Beautiful house in Cotignac
Fabulous house in a perfect location. Clean and beautifully decorated, and lovely garden with stunning views and lots of spots for reading, drinks and lunch/dinner. Perfect for a group of two families. Easy walk to Cotignac which is such a beautiful town with great food shops and streets for wandering. Great communication from the owners before and during our stay, and excellent restaurant advice! Thank you!!

Delightful stay at Le Temps des Secrets
Our holiday at Nicholas and Laurent's home in Cotignac began well with a bottle of rosé in a cool and shaded garden and was a sign of good things to come after a disasterous 24 hours of cancellations and delays in our travel plans. Although the hosts showed us around the property, it was only on our own and over the next few days that we discovered how delightful our holiday home was. The weather was very warm (unusually so, I think), but there were fans in every room and one which was not working was replaced very promptly by Jerome and Christelle - a welcome rescue. The pool provided a marvellous relief when the temperature rose and I especially liked the separate and beautifully planted gardens; we moved through the partitioned outside areas as if from the dining room to the drawing room and then back to the sitting room. We have also seldom come across such a well-stocked kitchen - a place where 'proper' meals could be cooked, and they were. The busy high street in Cotignac is lined by trees, restaurants and cafés on both sides, making you feel as if you actually have a choice in choosing where to eat. Proximity by foot to a thriving and attractive town was a must when deciding where we would go and we made full use of the freedom of not having to get everything by car. It has a butcher, a baker and, if not a candlestick maker, a decent small supermarket that contains more than the essentials and all within walking distance of the house. All-in-all, a lovely stay which was enjoyed by the whole family. Nick and Laurent, thank you.

Lovely hideaway
Tucked away in an elevated position, within a short walk of the restaurants and shops of town, les Temps des Secrets was a great choice for our family trip. The garden in particular is a charming space to relax over a glass or two, or enjoy the pool. Cotignac now has a microbrewery with a terrace which has live music some nights - well worth a visit.

Charming house with lovely garden and view
Everything was perfect. We enjoyed very much our stay. The house is nicely decorated, confortable and well equiped. The garden is lovely. We liked sitting on the terrace admiring the view on Cotignac by day or night. Cotignac is on walking distance. The village has a nice atmosphere. Thank you to Nicholas& Laurent and to Jerome&Christelle.

Parfait en famille
La maison est très agréable, très propre, fraîche en temps de canicule, le jardin est élégant, et la piscine largement suffisante pour se rafraîchir et jouer avec les enfants. La proximité du village est un plus tres agréable ainsi que la place réservée pour la voiture. Le beau temps par dessus tout ça et un gérant efficace et accueillant. Si vous passez de mauvaises vacances, ça vient de vous !

Wunderschönes Feriendomizil in Cotignac
Das Anwesen liegt sehr schön und ruhig im Dörfchen Cotignac, man geniesst die Ruhe und landschaftliche Umgebung. Es wird absolute Privatsphäre geboten und der Pool ist wunderbar. Das Haus ist sehr schön eingerichtet und bietet alle Anehmlichkeiten die man sich von einem Ferienhaus erwartet und wünschen kann. Die Betreuung vor Ort durch die Agentur war hervorragend. Wir waren schon das 2. mal in diesem wunderschönen Feriendomizil und würden auf jeden Fall wieder kommen.

Verkligen "Ett litet paradis i byn"!
Huset var i toppskick! Och med skuggigt läget från tidig morgon till sen förmiddag denna varma sommar var allt ännu mer perfekt. Vi älskade att laga mat i det nyrenoverade köket och njöt av alla olika uteplatser som fanns att välja på. hög kvalitet på allt!

Great Home in Heart of Cotignac
The home has great character, and is right in the heart of Cotignac, easily walkable to the 'downtown' Cours Gambetta where all the restaurants and shops are - also equally close to the cliff and caves that define the city. The home is also well cared for and well equipped with a television, wifi, washer-dryer, dishwasher and, importantly, everything is well-maintained and works well down to showers, hot water, etc. The best feature, however, is the very nicely landscaped and tiered yard area with a beautiful pool, umbrellas, tables and loungers that make hanging out in the yard the very best part.

Lovely retreat in a great Provence village
We've been coming to Cotignac nearly every spring for 15+ years. The house was exceptionally nice - more than enough room for our 3 adults. The location made it very easy to access everything in Cotignac. The garden was great - many separate areas to enjoy the outdoors. Both the house and the garden were very well maintained. The rental management company was very responsive and both check-in and check-out were very easy. There was an issue with the WiFi and the rental management company did everything they could do to make it work. We loved the place and plan to stay there again
