A superb house in a superb location - lots of thought has gone into making it a fabulous holiday
Secluded yet 5 minute drive to the centre of the local town. Immediate access to the countryside for walks and biking. Beautiful villages and great activities to do or just relax by a beautiful pool in the shady garden. The boule court was a great extra touch. Host and housekeeper excellent. We shall return!

Thank you for your positive comments Chris, we are delighted that you enjoyed your stay, and have already contacted us about the possibility of a future holiday at Bois Carré!
A wonderful house so very well equipped with various amenities (i e ) table tennis, heated swimming pool etc in an equally stunning area with so many interesting places to visit. Genevieve the local manager couldn't be more helpful, which she was in an unexpected problem. Highly recommended
Wonderful accommodation in an area of France we hadn’t explored before. Gorgeous house, garden and pool. Everything had been considered for our comfort and a friendly welcome on arrival from local caretaker. Air conditioning in bedrooms a definite plus during current heatwave. We couldn’t have asked for anything more, and lots of family rivalry around the tennis table and pétanque. Fantastic trip too canoeing down the Sorgue with Canoe Evasion - thoroughly recommend that during your stay.
We would definitely recommend staying here, and very much want to return again for another holiday at this house.

Wow, thank you so much Rebecca for your lovely review, we are delighted that you had a great holiday despite the heat. We look forward to welcoming you again!

Mas Bois Carré was exactly what we were looking for. The house and exterior have everything to have an enjoyable and relaxing stay. From the welcome to the send off, Geneviève was attentive and welcoming. Bottles of water and rosé/red started the vacation off well. Lots of information provided for activities and tourism in the area.
The pool is not secured, but that was not a problem as we have teenagers. We had to take turns on the chaise swing! Heated pool was a treat and allowed for evening swimming. We also enjoyed the ping-pong table and Pétanque pitch. Be sure to bring mosquito repellant with you. There are coils and electric anti-mosquito items provided, but we were especially attractive to them.
We would definitely stay again and regretted not renting for a longer period! Thanks, Claire!

Hi Liza
Thank you for all of your positive comments - we are delighted that you enjoyed your stay and everything was as you had hoped. There is so much to see and do in the area that you are quite correct - one week is never enough.
Regarding the pool, we need to clarify to others that, whilst there is no fence, it has an excellent electric security cover which should always be closed and secured when not using the pool if one has young children or non swimmers in the group. Clearly you had no need of it as you have teenagers, so I presume that you always left it open.
We hope to welcome you again sometime!
Claire
Das Haus ist - wie auf den Fotos dargestellt - sehr schön. Innen und außen ist es hübsch gestaltet, wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.
Auch der Kontakt zu Genevieve vor Ort war wirklich nett, ebenso der Mail Kontakt mit Claire - wir fühlten uns sehr gut betreut.
Die Gegend ist toll für Radtouren und Ausflüge, der Radverleih in l‘Isle ist empfehlenswert. Aber auch am Haus ist es entspannt mit Pool, Tischtennis und bequemen Lounge Möbeln. Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit und würden gern mal wiederkommen.

Dear Ulrike
Thank you so much for your very kind review. After having to delay it by a year we are delighted and relieved that you had a good holiday and were able to relax in the Provence sunshine.
Please come again - you were perfect guests.

Nous avons adoré nos vacances inoubliables dans cette jolie maison.
La maison est bien équipée avec beaucoup de goût, elle est confortable, lumineuse et très accueillante.
Nous avons bien profité du jardin ainsi que de la piscine chauffée.
Claire, la propriétaire, est très prévenante et symphatique, la communication par mail était remarquable.
Il faut également accentuer que Geneviève était très accueillante et serviable.
Merci Claire et Geneviève :-)

Sehr gepflegtes, geschmackvoll eingerichtetes und stilvolles Haus mit sehr schönen Außenanlagen in wunderschöner, ruhiger Lage. Claire ist eine sehr nette und bemühte Gastgeberin, die Kommunikation mit ihr lief bestens per Mail. Vielen Dank an Geneviève für die hervorragende, angenehme Betreuung vor Ort.
Tout ce qu'il y avait indiqué dans la description se trouvait sur place.
en entrant dans la maison, nous avons eu l'impression de se sentir comme à la maison🥰. nous avons adoré😊 la maison est un rêve.
l'accueil était très chaleureux, nous avons reçu des informations sur les allentours ainsi que sur différentes destinations.
Nous pouvons recommander cette destination. et nous revenons, c'est sûre et certain .
Maison stylée, agréable, confortable, propre et bien équipée. Cependant, un peu déçus, notre "coup de coeur" n'a pas été confirmé, bon séjour, sans plus.
Il serait nécessaire de revoir l'entretien et la sécurité de la piscine (alarme) : nous remercions Geneviève pour sa réactivité et pour son accueil professionnel et très chaleureux.

Merci Jean-Claude pour votre commentaire !
Nous prenons note de vos remarques concernant la piscine. Sachez que nous faisons un entretien de la piscine le vendredi juste avant l’arrivée de nos hôtes. Cependant nous sommes entourés de pins qui par grand vent font tomber leurs aiguilles donc la piscine peut vous sembler sale. Nous faisons le maximum pour un second passage en milieu de semaine si nécessaire, ce dont vous avez bénéficié !
Concernant la sécurité de la piscine, nous avons installé un nouveau rideau qui est homologué et donc il n’est plus nécessaire d’avoir l’alarme supplémentaire. C’est tellement sensible et se déclenche si des animaux divers (écureuil, oiseaux ..) viennent s’abreuver la nuit.
Chaque année nous essayons de nous améliorer pour satisfaire au mieux nos hôtes !
Nous sommes malgré tout ravis que votre séjour se soit bien passé.
En espérant vous revoir une prochaine fois !
My Family really enjoyed our stay. The house itself is lovely and well-appointed. The bedrooms with their aircon mean that sleeping in the height of Summer is no problem. We loved the indoor/outdoor living and the pool. L'Isle Sur La Sorgue is 6 mins from the house (by car) and is charming with some very nice restaurants. Exploring further afield is well worth it with plenty to do culturally and activity wise. Would not hesitate to recommend.

Magnifique maison haut de gamme dans un emplacement tres calme
C'est une maison tres agreable a tout point de vue: grand confort (literie, clim), bien equipee (cuisine avec tout le necessaire, meme le frigo americain pour l'eau froide et les glacons) et propre.
La maison a ete restauree avec gout et le resultat est tres joli. Les exterieurs sont tres bien arranges avec plusieurs coins pour se detendre et un mobilier de jardin tres confortable. Nous avons profite de la piscine a 29 degres, de la table de ping pong et du terrain de petanque.
L'environnement est calme et en meme temps tout pret de l'Isle sur la Sorgue.
We had an amazing week at this gorgeous house. We are a family of 5 including 3 children between 7 and 11 who absolutely loved it. The house is luxurious and the garden is spectacular. The pool area is something special and we spent many a day relaxing and having fun in this massive pool! The local area is great and the position of the house perfect to allow you to chose whether to partake or not. We had a lovely time at the market in Isle du Sorgue as well as lovely dinners at lovely restaurants. Clair and Martin were the perfect hosts and Genevieve who met us to show us around was just lovely. We managed to explore the local village which has spectacular views as well as going over to Gordes and surrounding areas to admire the lavender. We also went canoeing and tree top adventures for the kids. We would def come back to this lovely place. Thanks again for a brilliant week.

We are delighted that you all enjoyed your holiday! Thank you for taking the trouble to write a review - and do come back again, there is plenty more to see and do in the area. Claire and Martin
Bois Carre is an absolutely beautiful traditional Provencal home with wonderful swimming pool and the reality superceded any expectations we had from the photos. The owners have equipped the home extremely well so you are left wanting for nothing. All three bedrooms are very good double sizes and the beds are wonderfully large and comfortable! The only drawback for us was that we hadn't realised the house didn't have air conditioning and the mosquitos seemed to love our British blood! Location couldn't be better, rural yet very close to town with an Abundance of beautiful villages all around.

Thank you Tanya for your kind review, we are very pleased that you had a good holiday and the house exceeded your expectations. I'm sorry to hear that the mosquitoes found you attractive. All of the bedrooms have mosquito screens at the windows, and you will be pleased to hear that air conditioning is to be installed in the bedrooms very shortly, so will be in place for summer 2020.
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans la maison de Claire, la maison est conforme à la description et aux photos.
Il y a vraiment tout ce qu’il faut pour cuisiner ( matériel de qualité ) les extérieurs sont spacieux et bien arborés , la maison est très bien située tout près de l’Ile sur la Sorgue très jolie commune, la piscine grande et chauffée, un très agréable séjour.

Maison de vacances idéale
Tout d'abord, son emplacement, au calme à la sortie de la ville, tout en étant près des
commerces. Puis la découverte de cette maison très agréable tant par sa situation que par ses prestations de qualité et de bon goût!. On se sent de suite chez soi dès notre arrivée. Avec l'accueil parfait de la personne qui nous reçois "Geneviève".
Tout est prévu pour que nous passions un agréble moment.
Alors merci Claire!, Votre Maison mérite qu'on puisse y retourner dès que possible!!

Beautiful Provencal house sympathetically modernised offering everything for a relaxing holiday.
Claire and Martin have created a delightful holiday home in the heart of Provence. There were four of us staying in the house so there was plenty of space in which to relax either together or find a quiet spot in the shade to read and/or sleep! We had a daily game of boules and although the water in the pool was what would be described as bracing we still had a swim to cool off each day. We also had several games of table tennis. I can imagine that the house will be cosy even in the cooler months with log fires and central heating. The market in L'Isle sur la Sorgue on Sunday morning is well worth a visit as are the many surrounding villages and wine estates. If you like good wine and food then this is a place to stay. We would highly recommend Bois Carre.

Thank you for your kind review Helen, we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay ‘chez nous’.
Apologies for the chilly pool, we hadn’t realised that it isn’t currently working - we think it exploded during a thunderstorm last month! Have just had a meeting with our electrician and it will be replaced, so we look forward to a warm pool next season.

Sehr schönes Haus und Garten
Das Haus ist sehr schön und sehr gut ausgestattet. Auch der Garten ist traumhaft. Einen Punktabzug gibt es wegen starker Geruchsentwicklung im Obergeschoss wenn es stark regnet. Dann merkt man, dass das Haus nicht an die Kanalisation angeschlossen ist. Was auch wichtig zu wissen ist: der Pool hat entgegen der Angabe in der Beschreibung! keine Heizung sodass das Wasser im Mai zum baden noch sehr frisch war. Auch gab es nicht die wie in der Beschreibung angegebene Zwischenreinigung nach einer Woche! Dennoch hatten wir einen sehr schönen Urlaub und würden wieder kommen. Die Kommunikation mit der Hausverwalterinund der Besitzerin klappte prima!

Thank you Lisa for your review and we are delighted that you enjoyed your holiday and would be happy to return. Indeed your friends have already booked for three weeks next year! I'm sorry that everything was not 100% perfect, but we really appreciate you bringing things to our attention, so that we can get anything fixed. We will be at the house next week and will investigate both the smell and the pool heater. As I said during your stay, the pool is heated by an air heat pump, so to an extent it is dependent on the outside air temperature. However we will get it checked as it may not be working as it should, the pool should not be so cold! And I apologise for the lack of a mid-holiday clean. I have asked our housekeeper to agree with our two week guests when would be convenient for this, as not everyone wants to be disturbed on holiday. I will remind her of this again. Kind regards, Claire and Martin
Update on the pool - the problem with the heater was quickly resolved and it is now working as it should. Thank you again for pointing this out Lisa.

Magnifique maison, accueil parfait !
Nous avons passé quelques jours très agréables dans la maison de Claire et Martin, aménagée avec beaucoup de goût et confortable à souhait. Tout est parfait, ainsi que la situation de la maison, proche à la fois du village de Saumane de Vaucluse, de l'Isle sur la Sorgues (pour les courses notamment) et en même temps en pleine nature (plein de balades à pied ou à vélo à faire tout près).
Nous nous sommes sentis particulièrement bien accueillis, grâce notamment à toutes les informations données par nos hôtes avant notre arrivée, à la présence et le sens du service de Geneviève qui s'occupe de la maison, aux bonnes bouteilles de vin...beaucoup d'attentions que nous avons vraiment appréciées !
Nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir !

The perfect place to holiday in Provence
The location was just wonderful, a very peaceful and well appointed house to retreat to at the end of the day, within a stones throw of Isle sur la Sorge (great town). Lots of wonderful hilltop villages to visit within a 30 minute drive, all with local markets selling great local produce to cook with and very good restaurants to eat at. The vineyards were interesting and we had plenty of tasting and buying opportunities, of which we took full advantage! The recommended walks from the house were great with stunning hilltop views along the way which we really enjoyed. The pool at the house was a real joy at the end of a warm day, particularly after a session of table tennis in the sun room! The outdoor terraces gave plenty of options for lunch or dinner when we cooked at the house, and there was often sharp competition to see who got to fall asleep in the garden hammock afterwards. We had such a relaxing time, a real place to unwind and just enjoy. We will be back in the future.
