Vues et serenité a Villa Manon, climatisation et piscine chauffée, 10 personnes

Villa Manon is the perfect house for a group of friends or a large family. The indoor spaces are as described and the pool is even more magical than pictured. The separated bedrooms with en suite bathrooms were ideal. We truly enjoyed the petanque court and although it was an item we filtered houses to include, we all agreed that our daily games that evolved to a tournament were an especially unique highlight to our week. The location is perfect for the exploration of various hilltowns and the town of Coustellet with its grocery stores, pharmacy, gas, and ATM is an easy drive. The onsite manager, Herve, was great. He was reachable as we navigated the summer traffic on arrival day and when we needed to reach him for a few typical house issues. Some of our favorite restaurants included the following: (advance reservations i.e. 2+ weeks were important given our peak Summer season stay) L’Outsider in Gordes (for dinner) Les Lavandes in Sault (for lunch) Le Carillon in Goult (for lunch on Market Day - Thursday) Some of our favorite activities in the area included the following: Coustellet Farmers Market on Sunday which included Cave de Lumiere wine tasting - this was one of the best markets after visiting many over our two week trip in Provence and Tuscany (go by 8am …it was hot and crowded by 10) Cave de Bonnieux wine tasting Chateau Carnogue wine tasting (you must watch “The Good Year” with Russell Crowe which was filmed here and in other locations in Cucuron, Gordes, and Menerbes) Chateau Pesquie wine tasting and picnic in Moirmoron - so worth the 45 minute drive (order the picnic for $25 per person in advance - it was one of our favorite days Chateau Lourmarin classical concert and picnic on the terrace (Thursday evenings - buy tickets in advance)

Everything at Villa Manon was excellent and exceeded our expectations. The great house, lovely terrace, beautiful pool, and gorgeous view cannot be topped. The property manager was extremely helpful and we are so glad we took advantage of his suggestion to have a local chef come and prepare a Provençal meal for us. It was a special meal and evening. We were so sorry to have to leave and will certainly plan to return. We greatly appreciated the owner’s flexibility in dealing with the issues created by COVID. Merci beaucoup!

We just finished a beautiful weeks stay at Villa Manon that was amazing from the first step we took inside the doors. I had read all the reviews online before I chose the location and I was very happy that everyone was correct about this amazing property. We were a group of 3 couples and were very impressed with the fact that all 3 bedrooms in the main house were master bedrooms equipped with king size beds and ensuite bathrooms making it very easy to spend your week in either room and be happy. We loved the fact that you could eat dinner in different locations, kitchen for the very casual evening, dining room for a more formal night, but mostly we had our meals on the terrace by the pool that has a beautiful covered area, stunning with and a table that could sit up to 12 or more. The location was so convenient for visiting different villages, market after market were all so close to us. We did not have to think of anything all week except for enjoying ourselves. Thank you Francoise for your suggestions on restaurants and a cook that we were able to hire who cooked us a delicious dinner and made sure we could enjoy our time with our guests without having to think about anything from groceries to cleanup, a wonderful night. I hope to return to the area in the future to do some more exploring and will be hoping I can stay at Villa Manon again, I don't think I could ever find a place more perfect. Thank you again Francoise and Pascal for making your home so inviting.

We had the most magical stay at Villa Manon, it is such a special place! The house is airy and spacious - we were 8 adults and 2 children and never felt remotely cramped. The terrace by the pool was a beautiful place to gather and relax and take in the remarkable view of the countryside, but there were lots of other balconies and nooks for those seeking a bit of privacy and quiet. The bedrooms are all large and the air conditioning is a real gift on the warm evenings. The kitchen is large and well stocked for keen cooks. The house is perfectly located for exploring nearby towns of Goult and Gordes and many other small, beautiful villages in the region. Avignon was a very easy day trip too. We could have easily stayed three times as long and not run out of things to explore! Importantly, the support and helpful information we received from the house manager and the property owner was invaluable - they were so approachable, kind and generous, which made for a very happy and smooth holiday!

Villa Manon has been a great house for us. As a frequent visitors to the Luberon, Villa Manon is the only house we have stayed more than one time, and we plan to rent it again during our next visit. The combination of its location and how the house is configured and furnished, make Villa Manon the perfect home base for exploring the magical Luberon Valley.

The owner was extremely helpful in ensuring that everything was organised for our stay particularly for my two 19 month old granddaughters. Thank you. The house suited us and our guests so very well. We could choose to visit the local villages or simply relax at the house and soak up the view. We certainly hope to return soon.

We had a wonderful time at Villa Manon. The Villa had everything we needed for our stay. The layout of the villa is perfect for family and friends and there is enough space for everyone to be able to relax but also spend time together. We used the cottage house for our guests that came for a few days at a time and the ensuite rooms for our guests who stayed longer. The pool is perfection with a gorgeous view of Provence. It is very well located with provincial villages less than 10 minutes away. The owner was very accommodating to our requests and the manager was very helpful with all of our needs. I cannot recommend Villa Manon enough! We will definitely be back.
