We once again enjoyed two wonderful weeks in Chat Perché. The view from the tower remains as unique and beautiful as ever. The small village provides everything needed for daily life – including lively evening chats at the charming Provençal bar.

Two wonderful weeks in the department of Drome

For the first time in Chat Perche we have enjoyed a wonderful vacation. It is a unique experience to be in this residence, swarmed by swifts and with great day trips to the surrounding countryside. Pru even solved for us a small problem caused by a thunderstorm late at night - thank you very much for that.

Le Chat Perché is as good as it gets

We have some experience of gîtes in France and Le Chat Percé is among the best we know. Quirky brilliant conversion of an ancient building close to church at summit of ancient hill village in maze of narrow medieval streets. Very well equipped and comfortable even in an exceptionally hot summer. We know we would like owner from her books. Local manager Nathalie charming and efficient. If you like being close to an active belfry and having many cats as neighbours, this is as good as it gets.

Romantik pur

Wunderschönes, altes Dorhaus mit phantastischem Blick. Das romantischste Haus, das wir je in der Provence bewohnt haben. Die Atmosphäre des ganzen Anwesens mit dem Aussichtstürmchen ist unbeschreiblich. Wir haben dort oben , sobald es das Wetter zuließ, so gern gefrühstückt. Man mag sich dann kaum losreißen von dem Plätzchen, aber die Umgebung lockt mit so vielfältigen Möglichkeiten, dass man es doch tut. Und schließlich kann man ja am Abend wieder hinaufsteigen und mit einem Glas Wein in die Sterne gucken. Wir haben den Aufenthslt SEHR genossen. Gern kommen wir wieder. MERCI!!

Genau so muss es sein

Das Haus zu finden war nicht ganz einfach. Aber als wir auf die Terrasse kamen und dann das Haus sahen, war es einfach perfekt. Ich hatte sofort das Gefühl in einem perfekten Haus mit einem perfekten Garten zu sein. Das Haus ist super schön und es hat alles, was es braucht-und es funktioniert alles. Die Kommunikation mit der Eigentümerin war sehr unkompliziert und freundlich. In der Umgebung machten wir Wanderungen und entdeckten die abwechslungsreiche und gepflegte Gegend mit Auto und zu Fuss. Es war wirklich grossartig und wir kommen gerne wieder.

Maison fantastique

Nous avons passé une excellente semaine dans cette maison "perchée" . Il fait aimer les vieilles pierres et le réveil avec les cloches de l'église du village. Elle est très originale, calme et confortable. On s'y sent très bien. La vue de la campagne environnante est très belle. Pas de vis à vis. Déjeuner face au Mont Ventoux.

Gemütliches Ferienhaus mit Aussicht

Wir haben uns als Familie (2 Erwachsene und 1 Kind von 11 Jahren) sofort in das Haus verliebt. Etwas abenteuerlich ging es durch die engen Straßen von Mirabel-aux-Baronnies bis ganz hinauf zur Kirche. Nach ein paar Stufen und durch eine Gasse standen wir vor einem schmiedeeisernen Tor. Hinter diesem öffnete sich für uns ein gepflegter kleiner Garten/Hof mit Feigenbaum und blühenden Sträuchern. Eine Treppe führte bis auf ein Türmchen, von dem aus man ganz Mirabel überblickt. Das Haus ist gemütlich eingerichtet und man fühlt sich sofort wohl und so richtig angekommen im Süden. In der Küche hat eine Hausfrau die Schränke eingeräumt. Es fehlte an nichts. Das WLAN funktionierte im Haus tadellos. Das Frühstück und Abendessen haben wir im Garten/Hof immer sehr genossen. Da kam dann oft eine süße Katze vorbei und hat ausprobiert, ob sie bei uns etwas Milch bekommen kann. Den Gefallen haben wir ihr getan. Sie war uns eine treue Freundin. Unvergesslich bleiben die Abende auf dem Türmchen bei einem Glas Wein mit Blick auf den Mont Ventoux. Beim Anblick des Sonnenuntergangs und des fantastischen Sternenhimmel mag man gar nicht mehr hinunter steigen. Kurz gesagt, dass Haus ist super für alle, die ganz individuell die Provence und die Baronnies entdecken und am Leben in einem lebendigen Ort teilhaben möchten. Die Kommunikation mit der Vermieterin funktionierte auf Englisch per Mail ohne Probleme.

About the host

Hosted by Pru Allington-Smith

I live in England with my husband but come down to Mirabel when we can get away. I love being there and have been visiting for over 30 years. The house is managed in France for us by Nathalie who is lovely and highly praised by our guests.

Why they chose this property

Our parents bought the house in 1986 in a semi ruined state and it was renovated by local craftsmen. They had the tower in the garden built to take advantage of the wonderful views over to Mont Ventoux.
Since my parents death my brother and I have taken over the house with considerable help from a local manager as we live in the UK.
The house has benefitted from many improvements over the years including a new roof and most recently a new boiler.
