  Every day of our 9 days in Provence it was lovely to come home to La Garance. This home is truly a home - pretty, comfortably elegant and organized. Everything is in working order and there are good books to read and an excellent selection of music to listen to. It lived up to our expectations in every way. La Garance is close to amenities and the beautiful village of Gordes where we ate many a meal. When we cooked our dinner at home we bought our food at local markets and shops. We have recommended La Garance to friends and plan to return there ourselves.

  Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, romantic getaway, age 55+, girls getaway.

  We (two couples) stayed at La Garance for two weeks in late April, 2012. We loved it. The house was charming and beautifully appointed - - comfortable furnishings, lots of books (many in English) and interesting works of art on the walls. The bedrooms are at opposite ends of the house affording maximum privacy. The kitchen had everything we needed. Relaxing (and eating!) on the patio was a joy. La Garance is in a perfect location for making day trips to numerous and varied sights. The area abounds in Roman ruins, medieval hill towns, secluded monasteries, vast agricultural valleys (with numerous wineries), wild hills and deep river gorges. Towns, large and small, in the area have wonderful markets and excellent restaurants. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay at La Garance and would not hesitate to go back another time.

  This is our second stay at La Garance and we enjoyed it even more than our first time. Wonderfully situated, minutes from Gordes and near to many of the famous `perched` villages, La Garance is a warm, inviting and spacious home. It is private and tranquil and equipped with all you would want in a holiday home including a fabulous book collection, and the recent addition of English speaking TV channels an added bonus! The outside terrace is a magical place to eat, in the warmth of the continental evenings and our children spent many hours happily playing in the pool, or perfecting their boules technique! Needless to say we did not want to leave! We very much look forward to staying at La Garance again.

  La Garance was the perfect spot to reconnect with friends that live in Spain. Even though we were there late in the year the colors of the Luberon Valley in reds and gold’s when the sun shining was stunning. The house felt warm and inviting the moment we stepped inside. We enjoyed the multitude of books in the evenings in front of the fire, so little time, so many books. The artwork on all the walls made us feel this was a well loved home and we felt special for being able to be a part of it. We spent our days visiting the village markets in Isle sur la Sorgue, Gordes, Bonnieux and preparing lovely dinners in the well stocked kitchen in the evenings. We had lunches in cafes in Goult, Cassis, St. Remy, Gordes and oh so many more. We visited vineyards, abbeys and an Olive Oil Mill. In short we had a marvelous time and at the end of the day came home to the most lovely and welcoming of homes. Our time there was to0 short and we all promised each other that we would return to this special home in this lovely valley.Diane M., Toronto, Canada

  We had a fabulous time at La Garance. The house was very comfortable for 4, 2 adults and 2 children. It was hot so we enjoyed swimming in the pool. At night the house cooled down. We visited Gordes, Bonneiux, Goult, Les Baux and St Remy. We took many fond memories home with us.

  My family and I enjoyed a week at La Garance May 29 - June 7th 2009. It was so fun refreshing for our daughters to run straight from the car into the pool. Before entering the house, I enjoyed cherries off the tree and picked some herbs from the planters on the stone terrace to supplement our dinner. This home is a lovely and relaxing refuge that affords privacy for parents and children alike as well as shared space both inside and out with all the simple/sophisticated charm one could hope for. My husband appreciated the small music library as much as I enjoyed chomping through some of the books. We enjoyed many day trips all over Provence and the south of France and could still make it home for a swim or some painting and crafts. Our gardienne Simone was incredibly kind and helpful. Though we're still a few years away from it, I would also enjoy visiting La Garance with another couple - or two! The livingroom is the perfect place to enjoy a cocktail while contemplating the original art work before wandering out to the spacious terrace via the french doors to sit around the wrought iron table enjoy a feast of local food cooked up in the large kitchen. Meals in local restaurants were incredible. The best service and the best duck was in Les Beaumettes which also had fish and vegetarian choices for my husband. Ahhh...hopefully we'll go for two weeks next year!
