Nice house in a classic Provencal village.

My wife and I enjoyed two weeks in Saignon. The house was perfect for us and we appreciated the updated bathrooms and well equipped kitchen with it's mix of modern and vintage equipment. The location was perfect and the outside patio that is featured in the photo was a delight. The village is now on our favorites list.

Lovely views, comfortable home, quaint and quiet town

We were three women on a painting holiday. We spent three wonderful weeks in this lovely Saignon home. What you need to know: Odile is friendly and helpful. She met us at the house. The house is a little tricky to find – on a tiny narrow street. It looks like nothing from the street side. Open up the door and you are greeted with a panoramic view over the valley below. You enjoy this superb hillside-perch vista from the living room, kitchen, and deck, and upstairs from two of the three bedrooms. If you are lucky, the lavender will be in bloom. We were there mid-June and were treated to the lavender’s gradual purpling. The beds are comfortable with good quality cotton sheets, and down duvets. The master bedroom (queen bed) has a door that opens onto a tiny patio and stairs down to the main deck. The second bedroom has two single beds and a view window. The third room has a single bed and window opening onto the street. There are two bathrooms – one with a shower (downstairs) and the other with a huge comfortable bathtub (upstairs). The house is quiet, except for the frogs and the odd rooster! Saignon is a jewel of a tiny town. Not yet too touristy. We enjoyed pastries and coffee at Chez Christine, which is also a restaurant and sells a few grocery items – milk, wine, tapenade… There are several restaurants in town. We enjoyed a superb 3-course dinner at Le Petit Bouchon. Climb the stairs to the top of Le Rocher at sunset and enjoy a 360-degree vista! Breathtaking! Saignon is 5 minutes by car from Apt. Check out the extensive Saturday market there. Apt also has several large grocery stores. When bringing groceries home, you can drive right to the house, unload, then park just a short distance up the street. Saignon is just a short drive from many other lovely towns. Lourmarin, Bonnieux, LaCoste and Menerbes are ½ hour South West. Roussillon (20 minutes) and Gordes (½ hour) are to the North West. Isle-sur-la-Sorgue is 40 minutes due East. It is famous for its Sunday market and antiques. There are many other tiny towns to explore. Viens, Curcuron..too many to list! All beautiful in their own way. Be sure to take a camera or sketchbook! We also ventured further away to visit Aix (S. 50 minutes), St-Tropez 2 ½ - 3 hours (S.E) and Cassis and the Calanques (1 ½ hours S.) Pont-du-Gard is about 1 ½ hours East. After our excursions, short or long, we were always happy to return to our comfortable, quiet hillside home to enjoy a glass of wine on the deck

A comfortable home in a magical setting

We spent three weeks in France this summer, and our week in the charming town of Saignon was our favorite. This small town is tucked into a hillside overlooking lavender fields and the larger town of Apt. It is truly magical. Saigon is smaller than the other Luberon hill towns and has few tourists, even in July when we were there. We found this to be a perfect place to relax after a day of sightseeing. There are a few restaurants in the town, and a bakery (Chez Christine) where we enjoyed our coffee and her amazing pastries each morning. The people in the town were very warm and welcoming. The house is very comfortable. Our two daughters, ages 9 and 12, felt immediately at home here. They enjoy exploring the small garden area in the back of the house, finding snails and frogs and watering the herbs and plants in the garden. The terrace at the back of the house overlooks lavender fields and the hillside leading down to the town of Apt. Each evening, we sat on the deck to watch the sunset. The lavender was in bloom when we were there. The field is so close to the house, that you can smell the lavender from the terrace. We felt instantly relaxed upon arriving from Paris, and will miss that gorgeous view! We are so grateful to the owner of this home. She was so warm, kind, helpful and welcoming to us. We were stuck in a lot of traffic on our drive to Saignon, and were quite delayed in our arrival. She waited for us for hours and was so generous and accommodating to us, reassuring us, along the way. She carefully went over all of the details in the house when we arrived, even though it was 10pm by the time we arrived. She was very communicative to us throughout the entire process. She is truly wonderful! We will miss this special place and hope to return someday! Thank you Odile!

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!!

The photos do not do justice to this jewel of a house, set into the exterior of the hilltop village of Saignon, with a wide view of a most beautiful valley. We were fortunate to arrive at the peak of flowering season for many plants, and were daily charmed by the lavender fields down in the valley below. Sheep were herded up the sleepy road past the lavender, and the acacia in bloom buzzed with bees. We loved sitting with our glass of wine or coffee out on the balcony, both morning and evening--at night there was a chorus of frogs from the valley! The house itself has been very tastefully renovated and modernized with a view to making the most of the character of the old building yet with complete comfort. We thoroughly enjoyed the village too, which has a new (American-owned) café dedicated to setting forth the best of the French countryside and fresh ingredients, as well as two great traditional French restaurants. (All of these are tiny, so getting a reservation ahead is recommended.) Odile, the owner of the house, was very helpful and anxious to make sure we had a good experience. We are a retired couple, our daughter and son-in-law and their 8 month baby, and we were perfectly comfortable. We had a wonderful time! The only slight problem was getting the stove to light--turned out there was a safety feature we didn't know about! (although I hasten to say it was explained in the binder Odile had prepared for her renters, and we had just been in a hurry to get going. :) Because the village is so small, you will need to ask for the house when you arrive, as there are no house numbers, but this was easy to do and everyone was helpful. I really recommend this property and definitely plan on staying here again in the future. (A word of caution: There is a lovely and inviting spiral staircase outside from the balcony to the garden, so I'm not sure I would recommend this property to anyone with toddlers, unless you were super careful.)
