Hello Greg and extended delightful family! Missing you already, to coin a phrase! It was lovely hosting you and I hope to see you again soon! There is much still to see, including the elusive Gorges du Verdon, to say nothing of the nearby Gorges du Loup. Thank you for choosing La Plantade for your holiday. Welcome back!

Hi Emma! So pleased that you all enjoyed your stay! Thank you for being such lovely guests! Welcome back soon! Best wishes, Andrea

I was delighted to have hosted you and your family, Wendy! Thank you so much for having chosen 'La Plantade' for your holiday. Welcome back soon!

And lovely guests like yourselves make it such a pleasure! Thank you for having chosen ‘La Plantade’!

Thank you so much, Suzanne and family. It was a delight to host you and I hope to see you again soon!

I'm sorry you felt this way but I am extremely surprised since you had seen exactly what the house looked like and contained in the photographs. Furthermore, there were architect's drawings which also should have informed you sufficiently and in more detail. I can only conclude that you did not pay attention to these things when booking. 'La Plantade' is a home with a unique history and full of antiques. In that context it qualifies for 'luxury.' Your idea of 'luxury is undoubtedly impersonal, sterile and visually uniform. As regards what was asked at departure, it entailed stripping the beds and leaving sheets and towels on the dining room floor ready to be washed. Anything else mentioned was simply a request and what anyone normally would do when leaving a house.

Thank you so much, Vibeke, for such a comprehensive and thoughtful review. I enjoyed hosting you as much as you enjoyed your stay. I was delighted to help you with queries and recommendations. Your group was an admirable example of taking advantage of everything on offer in the house, the village and the surrounding area. I welcome you all back asap! Thank you for having chosen 'La Plantade' for your holiday! Mvh, Andrea

Hi Paul, Karen & family! So happy to have been able to host you and that you enjoyed your stay despite the heat wave! You were so kind to water the tomatoes but sadly they didn’t ripen during your stay! You’ll have to come back next year when I will have a specially prepared can of ‘your’ tomatoes for you! And you will be able to practice your newly-acquired Duolingo language skills as well! It was lovely getting to know you and therefore, ‘Welcome back!’ Best wishes, Andrea

Hi Terhi! Thank you for your review. I'm so sorry you were disappointed regarding the opening hours of 16 restaurants 2 cafés/bars 2 bakeries 1 wine bar (in total 20 eating establishments) which I clearly set out in your Welcome message and you could also have found online. There is also a nearby restaurant with music which you commented on. Perhaps you are not aware that the 3 'fine dining' restaurants in Tourrettes (Michelin Stars, Google Reviews, Trip Advisor, etc.) have to limit their opening hours/days because they are very sought after and always fully booked. For your stay of a week you could have had 14 meals out, that is, lunch and dinner, and there would have been a further 6 days when you could have had another 2 dinners/lunches. In addition, you could have had breakfast at any of 4 cafés or bakeries every single day. Essentially, you would been able to eat out every meal every day. I hope that clarifies things. Regards, Andrea

So glad you enjoyed your stay, Chris! Hope to see you again soon!

It was lovely having you and your family to stay, Jonathan. You, too, were very flexible, being so kind as to water the plants and more! Thank you for expressing your thoughts on the house and Tourrettes so beautifully. I hope to be able to welcome you back very soon. Best wishes, Andrea

I'm so pleased that you and your extended family enjoyed your stay. You are welcome back for a 'returner's discount'!

So pleased you enjoyed your stay! Welcome back!

Hi Kay and Tim, So pleased to know that you enjoyed your stay. And that you presumably appreciated the little frogs who are La Plantade's 'secret service' anti-mosquito squadron. That is, no mozzies! It would be lovely to meet again so that you can hone your already impressive language skills and fantastic 'joie de vivre'. And, of course, you would benefit from a returners' discount! Best wishes, Andrea

Thank you, James, for your kind and thoughtful words! You and Chris were delightful guests and it was a pleasure to host you. I hope that someday we will meet again.

Thank you, Maggie, for your kind words! I am delighted that you and your family enjoyed your stay. I hope I will have the pleasure of welcoming you back in the future when , as a returning guest, you will have a discount on your holiday. Best wishes, Andrea

Delighted to have had such gracious and appreciative guests as yourselves, Coleen and Bill, who really inspire one to do one's best! Thank you for coming and for your kind review. Welcome back soon!

I am so happy to have helped to make your stay enjoyable! I had great fun getting to know you and your lovely family, Alexa. Thank you for your visit and please don't forget to come back for the 'returner's discount'. I wish you a happy remainder of the summer! Regards, Andrea

I'm so pleased you enjoyed your stay. Apologies about the pool although having a filet of water running into the pool could not have been very onerous, I should think. The pool was completely renovated this year so the leak was presumably related to that somehow. Unfortunately it was only discovered in July and the repair entails breaking up the travertine around the pool so this must be done 'out of season'. The drain cover you say is in need of resealing was never remarked upon by any other guests this year and the current ones have not flagged it either. With respect to caring for the cat, I offered to take him but you said you were happy to feed him and add his pill. The cat, Noah, and I thank you very much!

Thank you, Ben, for your kind words about the house and village and for being such happy, appreciative, considerate guests. It was lovely getting to know you. I was very sorry to see you leave. I hope we can continue the friendship. I promise to find ever more challenging past times for you. Hang-gliding? Rock climbing? Seeing how quickly you navigate the entryway, breaking previous records?
