Le Point - Charming artist's cottage in Provence village

Wer wirklich historisch im Luberon wohnen möchte, ist hier richtig. Schön kühl im Sommer...

La maison est très bien situé au centre de Cucuron. La maison est très bien équipé. Le village de Cucuron est superbe et dispose de tous les commerce nécessaire pour un agréable séjour. Très bien!!! The house is very located in the centre of Cucuron. The house is very well equipped. The village got all the amenities that you need for a great stay. Wonderful!!

As the pictures indicate, Le Point is charming and a tiny bit eccentric. Matthew and Pauline were very helpful hosts, and gave good instructions on getting there, and getting in. You open the massive outer door with a huge iron key, and enter a big bedroom with fireplace. A modern bathroom and second smaller bedroom open off this room. We were renting the last week of April and the weather was unusually cool, so we were glad of the extra duvet and the electric heaters - I'm sure that summer renters are equally glad to be kept cool by sleeping downstairs within thick stone walls. The stairs are a bit of a challenge, as Matthew's description indicates - you learn to make sure you don't forget anything when you head upstairs to the kitchen and living area - but the bed is very comfortable, the water is hot, WiFi never failed, the clothes washer worked fine, and the kitchen is well stocked with pretty dishes and sensible cooking equipment, great for cooking a meal after the Tuesday market in Cucuron. We enjoyed having morning coffee on the sunny little terrace. Cucuron itself is completely charming, and we were glad to come back there after days spent looking at more famous (and crowded) villages nearby. We had wonderful meals at La Petite Maison and at MatCha, and the friendly nearby boulangerie has delicious croissants - it feels very magical to walk through the arch under the clock tower in the morning in search of croissants. It was also a privilege to live for a week with Mary Adshead's beautiful high-spirited murals, which are even more lovely than Matthew's photographs of them convey.

The property blew us away, it is so cool to spend a week in a 16th century home, the art work painted on the walls in the small bedroom is wonderful, the place overall is comforting and we will visit here again.

Quel bonheur pour une citadine épuisée de trouver cet endroit authentique et calme. Le Point se trouve dans un cul de sac où aucune voiture ne peut accéder même les rares qui s'aventurent dans les ruelles du XVIe siècle. Ce gîte est fait pour les gens qui aiment l'essentiel. Décoré avec les tableaux de la propriétaire et une fresque murale peint avec goût dans la petite chambre ce qui lui donne un charme singulier au lieu. Les meubles et les objets sont pour la plupart provençaux. Il y a tout le confort moderne sans ostentation. La literie est de qualité. J'y ai trouvé le luxe que je cherchais : Le CALME avec des longues nuits de sommeil réparatrices et des belles promenades dans la régions. Cucuron est un charmant village qui n'a pas le label "Plus beau village de France" comme c'est beaucoup le cas dans les environs. Là c'est les vrais gens du coin qui vivent, font leur marché, vont au ciné-club du village et partage des livres avec les voisins dans des paniers que certains mettent devant leur maison. J'y retournerai dès que possible avec un immense plaisir ♥

Wir haben uns in dem Ferienhaus LePoint vom ersten Augenblick an sehr wohl gefühlt. Urgemütlich! Für uns als Selbstversorger war die Küche perfekt ausgestattet und der Kamin hat an den leider kühlen Abenden zusätzlich für Gemütlichkeit gesorgt. Jederzeit gerne wieder!

Le Point has been our home away from home three times now and each time surpasses the last! It's very rustic but has all the modern amenities you need: Wifi, laundry, microwave, oven, and stove. There are plenty of fresh linens waiting for you and lots of items you may have forgotten to bring from home. Hand held hair dryer is available. We enjoy shopping at the market surrounding the "L'etang" pool in the town center on Tuesdays and making daily visits to the Boulanger and Patisserie. The kitchen is fully functional to make meals if you like or you can visit one of several restaurants within walking distance. Do beware that Le Point requires climbing fairly steep stone stairs and the village has many cobblestoned inclines. We're not exactly athletic (to say the least) and we had no problem. The owners come from a long line of artists and you'll find plenty of information on them in the cottage. We will definitely go again! Thank you Matthew and Pauline for sharing this little piece of heaven =)
