Beautiful, secluded Provencal house with pool surrounded by vineyards

A nice balance of rusticity and simple luxury. Kitchen was wonderfully well-equipped and beds were very comfortable. The pool is not heated -- we had been warned! -- and by the second week in September the water was bracing. The village of Sablet, delightfully free of tourists, has an addictive charm. The property had to be secured each time we left -- shutters upstairs and down closed, windows and doors locked, alarm set -- which we had mastered toward the end of our stay but was nonetheless something of a chore, even with all hands on deck.In the end, we were sorry to have to leave -- a lovely place to return to after a day of exploration, offering quiet (and hooting owls) at night.P. S. The grape harvest was underway, and the machinery in the surrounding vineyards was noisily at work early in the morning, but if you love the wines of the region, this is a good lesson in what goes in to producing them!

The location is fabulous. Views, private and with easy access to several nearby traditional towns. The property is very spacious. We were family of five and had space for being together and also for moments of individual seclusion. We used the pool extensively. High quality umbrellas and loungers. The dart board was a great bonus. I will always remember going to sleep with the window open overlooking the vineyards with the silence and stars. Then waking up to beautiful green and blue. Collette did a great job with easy check-in and check-out. I have done many VRBOs around the world and this was one of the best experiences of all.

We had a great fortnight after a dreadful experience with Hertz in Avignon. Caroline, the house manager, was fantastic in helping us find alternative car hire and really helpful through the entire stay. The house is truly beautiful and will-equipped. Being keen cooks we took full advantage of the new range cooker as well as the barbecue (not to mention the pool). There is a lovely walk through the vineyards to Seguret where we recommend Cote Terrasse for good, reasonably-priced food. A stay at St Amand is highly recommended. You will not be disappointed.

Our family had an amazing holiday in Sablet! We adored the proximity of the village (15 minute walk away) and being surrounded by vines. The house is very private and secluded - just perfect for relaxing and recharging your batteries! After touring the area it was delightful to come home to our private paradise of St Amand each day. We spent many carefree hours on the terrace, under the arbor eating with family and drinking rose. We so admired the breathtaking view of the village from here. it was a dream come true. Thank you so much for sharing your delightful property with us! We hope to return one day.

This house is even better than the photos show! The booking process was smooth and easy, mainly down to the owners being so organised. Thank you. We are a family of six - with four small children - and the house was just want we wanted. The owners are very much geared up to accommodate young guests: cots, high chairs, baby alarm were all provided for us. The house was spotless and very well maintained, the garden just lovely and safe for our children, the pool perfect. Our children were thrilled to see that they had their own special bedlinen and toiletries. A wonderful touch by the owners. The very cheerful House Manager helped us to settle in on arrival and before we knew it, we were enjoying our first glass of wine (provided by the owners) on the terrace! We had all our meals on the terrace, mainly BBQs, taking in the superb view of Sablet. We enjoyed picking the figs off the tree for breakfast each morning and our lazy walk to the village for bread became something we all looked forward to. Without any hesitation, we would recommend this property to everyone we know.
