About the host

Hosted by John Hillier

Host profile image
We live in London and love France, especiially the Luberon which we have been visiting for years. Our children and grandchildren of all ages love the house and the area.

Why they chose this property

The house is extremely versatile. You can easily accommodate 12 or more people whilst for smaller group of 3-4 people the upstairs works extremely well. The house was the first house built in 1969 and the owners chose the best site with amazing views. Originally the owners lived upstairs. Later a new garage was added to the side and rooms established downstairs. The cabin in the garden adds a great additional dimension to the property. We have been making the houe more green by adding solar panels and air-source heat pumps for the airconditiong and the pool.

What makes this property unique

Children and teenagers love the cabin. They spend the evenings there and adults can enjoy the house and eating area outside. The proximity to Apt means teenage children can walk down the hill and enjoy the town and the market whenever they want. This makes for a much more relaxing holiday for everyone and frees you from having to get in a car to go anyway. We love the cycling to Saignon wehere we go most days for morning coffee - and our bikes are availble to all.
