  We had a wonderful time at the Cottage. Your daughter gave us a warm welcome and was always more than friendly to us. Please give her again our big thanks. Swimming in the river was an unforgettable experience for all of us (although no one was brave enough to jump over the waterfall). We enjoyed the privacy and having nature all around us. We had one of our best holidays ever there and our kids are already asking to book the same next year! Akiko & Gunnar, Germany

  We are all so appreciative of your support for our helper's visa - which has enabled us to have a REAL holiday, in the most beautiful, peaceful haven you have created. So sincerely, "thank you" and I'm sure we'll be back to Domaine des Baumes. Warmest wishes and appreciation. Carole

  We had a wonderful time, the children enjoyed the freedom of the open spaces and we didn’t have to worry when they were out of sight. The property provided every convenience and the log burner was welcome addition, staving off the evening chill (not as cool as back here in Britain mind you) Please pass on our thanks to your handyperson Catherine who was always at hand to help out.

  We had a lovely lovely stay at your property and were lucky enough to meet Catherine who was also extremely helpful and a beautiful person all round. There was nothing else we could have asked for. It was a magical 2 weeks for us and we will never forget it. (We have received the cheque, thankyou.) Carina, Sydney, Australia

  The days in the cottage have passed quickly and we enjoyed very much staying in these wonderful surroundings. Thank you again. We will certainly recommend to friends to rent your house, if they travel to Provence. ps Thank you very much for the quick und uncomplicated procedure. (Owner’s note: this refers to the return of the security deposit.) Herbert & Sabine, Germany

  “Although still jet-lagged (we arrived home last night), I wanted to immediately write a quick thank-you for our magical week at the Cottage. I felt fairly certain when we made our booking that the Cottage was going to be nice, but it exceeded our expectations in so many ways -- the peaceful solitude, the beautiful setting, the fascinating history of the olive mill, the tasteful attention to every detail in the Cottage itself, the ability to settle in and feel at home, and last but decidedly not least, the charming Catherine. She is truly a gem. I would love to return to the Cottage. Perhaps, we can make that happen. In the meantime, with your generous hospitality, you have given Ty and me many happy memories of our first visit to Provence. Thank you, Alexia. Please convey our thanks, as well, to Catherine for her hard work, cheery disposition, and, of course, the wild asparagus!”

  We stayed a week in late Oct. The cottage is a nice small apartment which is part of a big old former farm house - very charming especially because of the huge garden (more a park) surrounding the house. The apartment is well equipped and nicely decorated although the beds could be a bit more comfortable and the bath rooms might need some renovation sooner or later. The solar heated pools can not be used once it gets cooler as a relatively simple technology was installed (dark colored hose pipe). All in all a nice place, but slightly overpriced especially during low season. Karin and Markus, Geneva

As I wrote to you last October “We are so disappointed that you had bad weather.” This makes a huge difference and can spoil what might otherwise have been a near-perfect holiday. AND you left the Cottage in perfect order: thank you for this! Solar panels, btw, are either breakable units (like glass) or black rubber tubing. Ours is a commercial system in the latter category, and safer, given that our night time visitors include Mrs Wild Boar and her baby boars, who treat the park like their own (which I guess it is). Unfortunately, we can’t build a structure to carry glass panels, as (fortunately) we are in an ultra-protected zone subject to strict national building laws. Whichever system of solar pool heating one uses, it will not usually warm an open air pool in early spring or at October's end, even in Provence. As for the beds, I am sorry that you did not find them quite comfortable enough. It's a very personal thing and since the mattresses are good quality and replaced regularly, I'm not sure how much we can do to improve matters - perhaps we can make mattress toppers available to those who need one, so thank you for pointing this out. We hope that the next time you come to Provence the sun shines for you. May to the end of September are much, much brighter months than late October, which is more a walking, exploring, touring, reading by the wood-fire month.
