  • My wife and I had a wonderful time. Being an English speaker, I enjoyed Betty's company. It kept me from being isolated. She is a wonderful host. We had many nice discussions. My wife is French speaking and very much into French culture. She just loves the Luberon. She can not wait to come back. Take the time to meet and talk to Jean-Yves, Betty's husband. You will be amazed by his talents. The two hosts have created a wonderful house to stay in whle you explore the area. I strongly recommend staying here. You will feel that you have made friends with the owners.

  • We just completed 2 terrific weeks staying in this tranquil and well restored gite. Betty and Jean-Yves were outstanding hosts, and everything said by previous guests says it all. The gite is peaceful and quiet, yet very close to so many wonderful villages, market days and restaurants. We usually ate breakfast and dinner in (the kitchen had everything we needed) and lunch out. We were so sorry to leave and can't wait to come back!

  • My husband and I were ecstatic to find this little cottage in Buoux, which became our home for two weeks in June 2009. The first person we met on arrival was 'Betty' the owner of this property, walking up the driveway to greet us with her warm radiant smile! She gave us a tour of the cottage and supplied us with lots of brochures and maps of the area as well as a list of some nice restaurants in the surrounding area. This little stone cottage which is over 200 hundred years old, was hard to believe it was that old from the inside. Betty and Jean Yves9Betty's husband) had done a wonderful job of gutting the property to the bare bones and bringing it into the millenium with all the latest modcons ie: flat screen TV, wireless internet, electric kettle, comfortable beds (2) and couches, nice sized bathrooms (2) with great water pressure, plenty of linens and towels, washing machine, dishwasher and every attention to all kitchen gadget needs. It is tastefully decorated with white limestone and hemp walls, and was clean, bright and spacious. It is a 10 minute drive to Apt (nearest town) for groceries, shopping great restaurants and marketplaces. Right at your door step you will find numerous hiking trails, rock climbing and biking. If your are looking for serenity or for the artist you will encounter unbelievable views to absorb, chill or sketch. It has got to be the most picturesque place we have ever visited, with sweeping mountaineous landscapes of fields filled with lavender, sunflowers, wheat and apple and cherry orchards as far as the eye can see. This cottage location in Buoux and Apt the closest town has got to be central spot to take you in whichever diriection you choose to hit the highlighted tourist attractions or just discover Provence in its natural beauty. A great reception, comfortable home inside and out and homemade cookies from Betty, ah, can't wait to come back. Thank you Betty and Jean Yves.

  • We arrived in Provence in March 2009 and discovered the magnificent region of Buoux. We stayed in this charming gite for a week and at the end of our stay were very sad to leave this lovely area and our new friends and hosts, Betty and Jean-Yves. The gite is newly renovated, absolutely beautiful and immaculately looked after. We were pleasantly surprised to find food for dinner in the cupboards and refrigerator, which was greatly appreciated by our small children who had spent a long day traveling. Not to mention the great coffee machine which was much more than we could have expected. Over the week we explored many medieval towns, the local Buoux fort and the surrounding countryside. The gite is perfectly located to many historic and beautiful sites. Our children had a lovely time walking with Betty, hearing about her life in Buoux and telling her about things in Australia. We were very sad to leave our new friends and the beautiful town of Buoux and hopefully will be able to visit again soon. Jacqui and Andrew, Sydney, Australia.

  • Here you stay in comfort (underfloor heating for your morning shower),in tranquil, beautiful natural surroundings, but close to the famous perched villages of Bonnieux and Saignon and the market town of Apt. The whole area is lovely and one couldn't ask for nicer hosts than Betty and Jean-Yves.

  • The previous entries in this guestbook are spot-on. Everything is in like-new condition, beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The location is peaceful and well-situated for exploring the sights of the Luberon. And Betty is very friendly and helpful. We'll be back next year!

  • Lo jas dei Barrulaires won't disappoint. The house is beautiful, extremely well equipped and very comfortable. Added to that is a fantastic setting in tranquil provencal woodland, yet within easy reach of villages and towns for resources. We had a wonderful time - and it was October. Spring or summer would be marvellous.

  • Buoux is wonderful, both lost in the Provence of Giono, and yet at the very heart of Luberon with equal distances to Bonnieux, Lourmarin, Saignon,and Apt. Very quiet and calm, with magic lightings I have never seen anywhere else. Here, one feels part of the land and "terroir", not just a running tourist. The gite is a perfect, with fabulous lime and hemp traditional stuccos, and sooooo comfortable bedding and linens.
