Maison du 12ème sur une ancienne propriété agricole

We were an American couple traveling with our 3 adult children and this property was outstanding for our visit to Provence. The house is ancient, with thick stone walls. Modern updates are well executed. -Roof-covered veranda and outside bar, and seating under a gorgeous old tree were lovely to relax. -The pool was a well maintained refresher! -The main floor en-suite bathroom was quite new and very comfortable -The upstairs shower rooms also newly renovated and very well done. -The upstairs WC was simple, but worked well. -Recently updated lighting was planned well and worked well -WiFi worked well. Conveniently located 5 minutes walk to a supermarket, we were able to eat breakfast on site, and the updated appliances in the kitchen provided everything we needed. 15 minutes walk to the center of the town. Quieter than big places, but we found charming shops, Good restaurants at a variety of price points, and a spectacular ice cream/crepe shop. We visited several neighboring areas. Beautiful Aix en Provence about a half hour’s drive. Valensole & lavender fields about an hour. The stunning beach community of Cassis about an hour. Avignon about an hour. Caretaker Noel and his wife live on site. While they spoke very little English, and us very little French, they were outstandingly friendly and helpful. Very kind people. They do quietly enjoy their patio on the side of the house opposite the guest patio; they are present, but were never intrusive.

Propriété tout à fait conforme à sa description. Bien équipée. Moustiquaires (indispensables) appréciés. Grande abondance de jouets. Spacieuse à l'extérieur comme à l'intérieur. A 15 minutes à pied du site principal du Festival de piano. Belles salles de bains. Cuisine grande quoique d'utilisation peu pratique et insuffisamment éclairée. Environnement de la piscine très agréable, piscine fort bien entretenue. Espaces bar/salle à manger et "salon" extérieurs accueillants. Couple de gardiens très serviable, aimable et efficace, à proximité immédiate. Voisins invisibles mais parfois trop bruyants. Selon le sens du vent, bruit de la route assez présent en semaine.

We loved the house which stayed cool even in the middle of a heatwave! The pool was clean and beautiful and the shady terrace is a lovely place to sit. The location is excellent, being walkable to a quiet, friendly town with lots of useful facilities, bakery, shops, bar, restaurant, ice cream etc! Our only slight reservation is that the caretakers flat is within the same house and his terrace is beneath one of the bedroom windows, so we had to ask for the music to be turned off after midnight a couple of times. However overall a lovely, relaxed place to stay.

Nous recherchions une maison de vacances avec du cachet, de beaux espaces extérieurs, une piscine sécurisée. Cette belle bastide a répondu à toutes nos attentes. Merci à Denis le propriétaire, Noël le concierge, et Valérie. Notre séjour sur place a été merveilleux.

We have just returned from a very enjoyable and relaxing holiday in this lovely property in La Roque-d'Anthéron. The area is a short drive from pretty villages such as Lourmarin, Cadenet and Cucuron, and only slightly further afield are the likes of Salon and Aix - both well worth a visit. The property has a very well equipped kitchen, free WiFi and a modern TV. The rooms are light and airy, and we especially appreciated the built-in fly screens at all the windows, allowing us to sleep with the windows wide open without being bitten alive by those pesky mossies!! The outdoor dining area and terrace are perfect - and ideal for escaping the sun - and the pool is to die for. The property hosts who live next door were very discreet, they were there to welcome us, and were on hand to keep the pool and grounds in immaculate order. If you want a relaxing semi-rural house in Provence for a week or two you should ensure this is on your shortlist; we would definitely return!
