House in the Luberon, Provence, hiking, pool, views and privacy; near golf

Great spot in the country. Not too far from the Boulangarie!

From the very beginning of our engagement with Jack and Terry , communication on the finer details of the property were well explained and continued until our holiday ended. The local house manager Richard was very pleasant to deal with, explaining everything that we needed to know and be aware of during our stay. Richard was on-hand if we needed him but otherwise left us alone for the duration of our stay. Maison Luberon is well appointed, having all of the facilities that you could possibly want. The kitchen is perfect for anyone who knows how to cook, every possible utensil, pot,pan you could possibly need and enough crockery and cutlery for a large banquet.The location of the house was the key reason we chose Mainson Luberon and on arrival it was clear that the description was accurate. The house sits within 30 acres of its own mixed woodland and set back from the relatively quiet road - the house itself cannot be seen from the road, indeed on ‘pool days’ only the wildlife is visible. The house is perfectly located for a complete break from modern stresses and strains. The driveway to the property is as you would expect in such a rural location and was a little tricky to navigate in a vehicle lower than a standard family car, as is ours. In wetter conditions it would have be a challenge but we could have left the car further down the drive if that were the case. Our stay was amazing and hope to book again with Jack and Terry.

We had a good week. Beds are good and the kitchen is well equipped. Great swimming pool. Nice area downstairs to eat and relax. Due to the great weather we weren’t much inside the house.

Had a wonderful stay, the pool is fantastic and the property is well situated and very private. Check in and out with Richard was a breeze! House was fairly well appointed, but may be a challenge for travelers not familiar with french country houses.

We spent a fabulous week here in July 2016. The house is perfectly situated - complete privacy and yet only a short drive to the village of Pierrevert and town of Manosque. The house is well equipped with everything you could need on holiday, even down to shopping bags should you forget to pack your own. You really do feel like you are staying at a friend's house rather than a rental property. The pool is perfectly situated and many an hour during the week was spent either in it or lounging by it with a glass of chilled local wine. Daisy (our Labrador) had a fantastic time wandering round the extensive grounds and surveying her domain from the balcony. We really appreciated the owners' pet-friendly attitude. Richard, who looks after things whilst you are there, was extremely welcoming and always on call if you needed anything (not that we did). Thanks to Jack and Terry for sharing their piece of paradise with us and we look forward to returning soon. Louise, Adam and Daisy

Spent a lovely fortnight here in July 2015. While the highlight for us was the pool, our children loved exploring the surrounding estate and the local wildlife. The house was well equipped, clean and the attention to French-farmhouse-style detail is impressive. Breakfast on the balcony overlooking the valley was always a great way to start the day. And although in a wonderfully peaceful location (dark skies at night make for excellent stargazing), we found civilisation and good cuisine within easy reach - Pierrevert having a lovely cafe/restaurant to spend a lazy lunch and an excellent vigneron (the Cuvée de Saint Patrice is amazing value!), not to mention two Domaines within walking distance. It's also well worth the hour drive to the Lac de Saint Croix and Gorge du Verdon. Jack was always prompt in answering my various questions. Many thanks.

This wonderful house is the perfect place to stay to get away from it all. The location is private and peaceful with fabulous views. The swimming pool is just right for lazy days. The french Manager could not be more helpful and welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. The house is well equipped with modern appliances and cosy bedrooms. There are lots of nice villages to visit and other activites to do not far from the house. This is a gem of place and we will certainly be visiting again. Janice & Paul (Suffolk, England)

The house was all that was advertised. While a little difficult to find, when you do you will be most happy with every aspect. If pools are your thing then this is spectacular. If like me cooking is your thing then the kitchen is incredibly well equipped and you will have no problems at all. Terry is very helpful and his nearby manager was very welcoming on arrival but be warned he speaks French only. Realistically however you will need a car for this property unless you plan to spend the whole time there. I have no hesitation in recommending this property for rental.
