This small studio apartment was perfect for our two week stay. The bed for comfortable, the kitchen well stocked and the patio was the star of the place. So many flowers and privacy. The hosts Mylene and Alain have a lovely home. Use of laundry washer was a bonus and all of her suggestions on where to go. The town is very quiet, so if you like to go out at night, this is not for you. We loved to relax after cooking dinner and taking a walk around town. The local winery food and wine was delicious. And so nice that the hosts gave us a welcome bottle of their Rose. Thank you Mylene and Alain. Our stay was perfect.

This is a great separate building at the small town/village of Peynier. The apartment is exactly as described and Mylene is an excellent host who will make sure that your stay will be excellent. There were even coffee ready for us. The property is exactly as good as described in the VRBO and everything is very well organized, nice and clean. Lovely stay and would recommend. While the town is small, there is still enough to do and even winery within a walking distance. Great place for exploring Provence.

Beautiful holiday hide-away with lovely hosts

The flat is an own building on the property of the hosts with an own patio surrounded by lots of greenery. It is accessible via an own gate and is, although on the same property, very secluded with lots of privacy. The flat is very well furnished, maintained and very clean. The hosts are a very lovely and caring couple. They gave us a lot if helpful tips for trips and were available for questions anytime. Our stay couldn't have been more comfortable :).

Mrs.

The warm welcome and assistance from Mylene were invaluable. The unit was beautifully appointed, private, secure and cozy. The location in the heart of this quiet, historic village was perfect to experience the unique architecture and lifestyle of old Provence, yet the amenities were totally up to date. We could not have chosen a better rental to enjoy our first visit to the region.

Amazing hosts, who went above and beyond.

Very comfortable, clean, modern. I thoroughly enjoyed the accomodation. Mylène and her husband were more than warm and welcoming, she was in fact ,'Amazing'. She helped me so much with language, places to visit, they were there for me, when the car hire went wrong, she helped me so much. She took me to the farm fir food, she and her husband stayed and helped me when car tyre blew the night before my return flight, she was there sitting everything until midnight, and was up and ready tilonrske me to airport at 5am. They did not have to do any of it. I will be forever grateful to them. She was my interpreter, my friend for the entire week. If you are used to drying in France, then this could be a good base for Aix en Provence as only half hour drive. The village itself is very old and very quiet. There is a very nice Bistro 'Les Vieux Couteaux' only minutes walk away, also, strongly recommend Terre de Mistral for a lovely lunch and vineyard tour. Finally Thankyou so much Mylene , forever grateful to you and your husband

A very big thank you for your kind words. Your stay was a bit tumultuous with a Provence that was very 'generous' with its summer temperatures. We are therefore happy to see that you still have a good memory of our ' Petite Maison'. The owner of the restaurant 'les trois couteaux' also has very fond memories of you and sends his regards.

Für uns war es ein kleines Paradies, in dem wir 12 wunderbare Tage verbracht haben. In dem geschmackvollen Apartment fehlt es an nichts, die traumhafte Terrasse war unser Wohnzimmer und die Gastgeber - Mylène und ihr Mann - sind wunderbar. Bereits bei der Ankunft wurden wir mit Tipps zu Ausflügen und Veranstaltungen versorgt, die nach unserem Geschmack waren. Ganz so, als hätten wir uns vorher schon gekannt.Auch das Parken ist einwandfrei. Der gepflegte Parkplatz ist nur 3 Gehminuten entfernt und es findet sich immer ein freier Platz.Wir können das Cottage nur jedem empfehlen und kommen sehr gerne wieder :-)
