Feeling at home so far away from home! Our stay in Maison Chaix in september this year was just great! Though we saw some images before, we didn't expect the property that nice and comfortable. Everything in the house is decorated with much taste and this certain provencial feeling.The kitchen offers everthing you need to prepare nice food! The house is big enough to have some rest without other guests. The garden, the pool and the view is exellent. I don't know what more to say...-we just loved it!!

"We had an amazing stay at the beautiful "Maison Chaix" in Puyvert, just minutes away from Lourmarin. We had 3 families staying there with a total of 5 children. The kids loved it and the adults too! We had plenty of room and the rooms were very comfortable. The area where the fireplace is makes a cozy place for adults to hang out when the kids are asleep. The kitchen is newly updated with new appliances. The back yard is terrific and has a beautiful view of the mountain landscape. It is also a great place for the children to play and the gate between the pool and the lawn in the back makes you feel the children are safe! The owners, although we have not met them in person, are wonderful to work with and gave us enough information about the surrounding areas so that our trip included all the main sites around Provence. The house is also in a great spot to see all these landmarks such as Aix, Arles, Avignon, Les Baux, etc. We travelled to them by car. Lourmarin is minutes away and has a great market on Friday. It is also a beautiful town. Puyvert is a small village and just perfect for some serenity. In summary, a great stay and highly recommended! "
