We made some great tours all around, and it was very nice to come back to the villa every evening, and feel at home. The villa is a "10" - well furnished, spacious, and full of sunlight. We enjoyed it very much.

We have enjoyed a glorious week in your lovely home and in Lourmarin. Your home is most comfortable, and Lourmarin is a gem of a village; we think its the most charming and prettiest of them all. Wherever we visited during the day, we were always happy to return home to Les Magnanarelles.
