Wilde Romantik in der alten Mühle

Der historisch interessante Ort war grossartig für unseren Familienanlass. Die Küche ist super ausgestattet. Es gibt Spielsachen, einen Pingpongtisch usw. Es ist möglich für grosse Gruppen zu kochen. Der Garten ist ein Traum. Unsere Kinder haben im Oktober noch jeden Tag im Pool geplanscht. Die Umgebung ist wild romantisch und lädt zu Ausflügen ein. Der Jüngste war vier und der älteste siebzig. Alle sind begeistert.

Entspannte Tage in wunderschöner Umgebung

Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt in der Mühle vom ersten Augenblick an genossen. Das Objekt hat ein großzügiges, ruhiges, geschmackvolles Ambiente. Im Garten oder auf der Terrasse läßt es sich entspannt sitzen, lesen, zusammen zu sein, Mahlzeiten genießen etc. Auch bei hohen Temperaturen ging eine schöne Brise. Der Pool ist wunderbar. Recht groß, sauber, prima zum Abkühlen. Es sind Liegestühle, Sonnenschirme und Platz zum Sonnenbaden direkt dabei. Die Küche ist fantastisch und bietet alle Möglichkeiten, für eine größere Familie zum Essen vorbereiten und kochen. Das Wohnzimmer ist geschmackvoll eingerichtet und bei hohen Temperaturen schön kühl. WLAN war einwandfrei. Die Schlafzimmer sind nett eingerichtet, ausreichend geräumig. Besonders schön ist das Elternschlafzimmer mit eigenem Bad. Waschmaschine und Trockner waren sehr gut nutzbar. Es sind sehr gute Einkaufsmöglichkeiten ganz in der Nähe vorhanden. Auch für Ausflüge liegt die Mühle sehr günstig (Sisteron, Gorge de Meouge etc.). Trotzdem ist man entspannt auf dem Land. Wir haben wirklich nichts Negatives zu berichten und würden gerne wiederkommen!

Idyllic - pure relaxation

I didn't want to submit a review for fear that this charming place will become more and more popular thereby potentially limiting the chances I will have of rebooking in the coming years. That would be doing the owners a massive disservice though and so I will also add my words of praise for this charming place which has been lovingly restored by it's charming owners, who, I should add, were an absolute pleasure to deal with as were the onsite couple who welcomed us and showed us the ropes as it were. We were two young families, each with a young child, and we stayed here for a week. We were lucky - the weather was fantastic, which allowed us to lounge by the pool, eat out every night and generally recuperate and recharge our batteries. The kids loved the pool and the ample space the "park" offered - essentially around half a football pitch worth of grassed land to run about in. The petanque pitch was also put to good use! I shall always think back fondly of the Moulin de Fombeton and equally I shall always look forward to my next stay there. The area is beautiful, rural, peaceful (bar the deafening crickets at night - but that's the type of "noise" one wants on such a holiday in such a fantastic place) and offers plenty to do if you are not satisfied by doing almost nothing but swimming, coooking, eating and drinking.

herrlicher Motorradurlaub in der Provence

Wir waren mit 11 "Donnermeistern" eine Woche in der wunderschönen Moulin de Fombeton und haben einen ereignisvollen, erholsamen, lustigen, romatischen Urlaub inmitten der wundervollen Natur der Provence verbracht. Das Haus ist in einem absoluten Topzustand, die Abende vor dem Kamin werden unvergesslich bleiben, die Aussicht beim Frühstück auf die Bergmassive sowie die Ausfahrten quer durch die Provence ebenfalls. Nathalie und Michel waren stets zur Stelle, falls mal aus Versehen der Alarm ausgelöst wurde und auch sonst fühlten wir uns rundherum gut betreut. Die "Donnermeister" werden garantiert nicht das letzte Mal in diesem herrlichen Urlaubsdomizil gewesen sein.

Eine tolle Woche in DER Mühle

Wir waren zu elft die letzte Mai Woche in dieser Traum-Mühle, 8 Erwachsene im Haupthaus, 3 im Anbau und es hat alles geklappt. Die Übergabe durch Natalie ging zügig und wir haben uns unglaublich wohl in der sehr persönlich eingerichteten Mühle gefühtl. Betten sind top, Zimmer sehr schön eingerichtet, der Kamin ist unglaublich. Pool und Aussenbereich ist sehr gepflegt und der Weber Grill hat uns mehrere Abende sehr gute Dienste geleistet! Wir werden zurück kommen!!!

einsames, wundervolles Paradies

Von A-Z einfach ein perfekter Urlaub. Wir waren zu acht (davon 4 Kinder 2 - 6 jährig) und unsere Kinder haben ein grosses Abenteuer erleben dürfen. In der Mühle und der Umgebung gibt es so vieles zu entdecken. Der Park ist gross genug um Golf zu spielen! Und für uns war es Erholung pur. Zudem wurden wir herzlich empfangen mit bereits vorhandenem Abendessen und Wein. Wie unser Vorredner empfehlen ich auch eher nicht mehr als 8 P., das Nebenhaus ist recht feucht und eignet sich höchstens für Teenies. Wer gerne ans Meer reist: Fahrtzeit recht lang, ca. 1h20min. Wunderschöner Markt in Forcalquier (Fahrtzeit 40min). Markttage der Umgebung sind am Kühlschank angeschlagen.
