About Barbs
I grew up in New York, and have worked all over the world. My loves are nature, food, bicycling, writing, cooking, decorating, meeting people and enjoying life! Originally I had planned to live in Italy. Then by sheer luck I was fortunate to visit the Luberon. It was love at first sight. My home is a labour of love. When you walk in the front door you'll be transported to a way of life that is cherished. We know you will love our home as well. Our fan mail from clients is wonderful and it's very rewarding to share a week or two of this magical place with you! I've worked in restaurants, trained as an artisan baker and have spent decades in culinary and housewares business. If home is where the heart is, then this is my 'Couer' My home is a place of transformation for me, my family and our friends. It's furnished to be cozy, comfortable and have all the modern technology you need. Slow down -- really slow down your life and recharge yourself in Ansouis. A la prochaine et tres bientot, Barbs
Barbs purchased this house in 2000
Why Barbs chose Ansouis
Actually, this house chose me.....After a long hike through the Luberon over 19 years ago - we arrived in Ansouis coming up the big hill -- an invigorating walk up the road near the Musee Extraordinaire. When we stopped at the top, I caught my breathe on the corner of Place Des Hotes where the house is located. And -- That was it, I saw the house, and somehow (yes like in the movies) I wound up owning it less than 3 months later....I love this village because it is truly authentic, pristine and not over run with postcard shops and retailers. Ansouis is a village where you can walk the streets at night, close your eyes and go back in time hundreds of years. Ansouis has a profound effect on people. You will literally be swept off of your feet with its charm.
What makes this house unique
I think about your stay with YOU IN MIND. What comforts are you looking for? Is the bed comfortable? Do you have the right cookware for the delicious meal you'll create after visiting the markets? Can you check in on CNN and see what's going on in the world -- just in case. Do you have free calls back to the USA? In my house, the answer is QUI! We are in the center of the village. Our life here is as we were in the center of a charming French film and the characters are walking by, baguette tucked under their arm with their trusted chiens by their side...I love sitting up on the terrace at night and watching the stars come out. As our friends say: sit back and watch nature put on a show.
