Outstanding Home Away From Home In The Luberon

"We have left the Luberon, Lourmarin, and this beautiful villa with a certain sadness about the end of our wonderful time there. We enjoyed an outstanding vacation experience during our two-week stay there. Lourmarin is certainly the most beautiful and enjoyable of the hill towns in the Luberon, and the Friday market is outstanding. This villa is conveniently located for spending part of the day in town -- or for touring throughout Provence, east of the Rhone. We quickly became attached to this lovely home and we consider it to be a very special place. We particularly enjoyed the landscaping, the pool and being able to spend many hours outdoors. The house inside is decorated in a very pleasant style. The art, the furnishings and the arrangement of the rooms suited us very well. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we intend to return. It is now "our place" in Provence. "

A Perfect Week in Provence

There are few places I would rather be in late Spring than in Provence, and Les Magnanarelles is the perfect rental for a group of 6-8 to call home for a week and base their adventures in this beautiful part of the world. The villa is modern, spacious, welcoming and well maintained. Everything that one needs to live comfortably had been considered by the very agreeable and helpful owners, including an excellent kitchen, library and all sorts of recreational amenities. There is even a piano! This property is exactly as advertised. You will be greeted by the owners' agent (brush up on your French) and given a tour of the house as well as final instructions on the operation of those perplexing french appliances! After settling in, you will have a chance to take in the magnificent view of the valley and the Luberon mountain, all framed in the property's extensive landscaping. The villa is located on a hill and is peaceful and inviting. Our group always looked forward to "coming home" in the afternoon from an excursion and relaxing around the pool. Dinners on the patio were a highlight of the day. The lovely village of Lourmarin is only about 1 km away, and an easy walk if you don't mind the hill on the way back! Lourmarin has plenty to offer including a number of good restaurants and the best market we experienced while in Provence. It would have been easy to spend the entire week just enjoying the villa, Lourmarin and the nearby countryside

What a wonderful way to spend our vacation. Les Magnanarelles is a beautiful, quiet villa with excellent facilities, all within walking distance of the village in the foothills of the Luberon Mountains. After our many interesting and fun filled day trips, the villa, the pool, the location, and the ambiance proved to be everything we had hoped for in our stay in Provence. Lovely memories, good times, and treasured adventures returned with us to the USA. Fabulous accommodations! WA Women

We very much enjoyed our stay in your beautiful home. It is immaculately clean and very luxurious. Thank you for all your help and hospitality. We felt very welcome. Lourmarin is a wonderful village. The BBQ was fantastic and we had several evenings "al Fresco" on the terrace. I hope we have the pleasure of staying again in the future.

It is not often that one is able to visit a place and have it surpass all expectations. Your perfect home became our home for one special unforgetable week. You two are very special. It was so kind of you to meet us and give us the grand tour. We will often think of our week here and will dream of a time when we can return: Merci

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.
