"A tastefully decorated, beautiful old Provence farmhouse (Mas) in the countryside outside St Remy, set in a lush garden with a large pool. We particularly looked forward to this stay after seeing the beautiful pictures online and chatting (online and on the phone) to the friendly German owner (who doesn't live on site). However, we were quite disappointed on our arrival to find our accommodation - COLETTE - to be very dusty and full of spider webs. The child's bedroom was so dirty that our youngest son refused to sleep there. We spend the first evening cleaning, finding piles of dirt and dust under the beds - quite annoying, seeing we had already paid a 70 Euro final cleaning fee. The French-only speaking housekeeper got very upset when we complained and it all turned into a bit of a drama....anyway, she did apologize eventually and did clean the place the next day while we were out sightseeing. Once it was cleaned, we ended up having a lovely and comfortable stay. Hayfever sufferers will battle with the pollen from the plane trees though. The website also doesn't mention that the house backs directly onto quite a busy country road, but the road is quiet at night. There are several other apartments at Mas Dagan. There were 9 other guests, including a young child, staying there while we were there, but it wasn't noisy and everyone was friendly and sociable. So, apart from the initial lack of cleanliness, I found it a lovely, relaxing place to stay."
