Casa cerca del Rosellón, Luberon, Provenza, admite mascotas, piscina de chapoteo

The property, which is near Gargas rather than Joucas, is

a comfortable base from which to visit many of the well- known hill towns, such as Gordes, Roussillon, Bonnieux, Goult and Saignon. Slightly further afield are the charming towns of Isle- sur- la - Sorgue and Lourmarin. There are well- stocked supermarkets in Apt and Coustellet ( which also has a good small bakery) and weekly markets in many of the nearby towns.

The house has a well- equipped kitchen for those who wish to eat in, and for those who would like to eat out but close by, there is an attractive hotel within walking distance, where dinner is served in a courtyard under the trees. The hotel is called Mas de la Tour, and you must book for dinner by lunchtime.

The splash pool is a welcome retreat in hot weather, and the shady trees in the front garden help to keep the area cool.

The owners are a charming couple, who know the area very well and are happy to advise on places to visit, restaurants, markets and other matters of interest.

We had a great time the house was well equipped and a great location for sight seeing and walking on Provence.

My husband and I stayed here for two weeks in summer 2018. We loved the authentic Provencal architecture and decorative elements. The house was not only charming, but also very functional. The kitchen was well equipped, and we cooked most of our meals at home, and ate in the pretty front courtyard. The splash pool was a life saver during the heat wave. A very comfortable and charming house--wish I could have lingered longer!

This property is surrounded by exquisite villages in every direction and Marine and Christophe provided wonderful guidance on the places that are incredible but not yet inundated with tourists. We felt we were living as locals in a dream house. The rooms were spacious and cool. The garden and the small terrace provided tranquil spots to rest in the shade or under the stars. The house is lovingly decorated and to walk in the door is to feel immediately at home and relaxed. We simply cannot say enough about how much we enjoyed our week here as there were astoundingly beautiful sights around every turn in the road. We will certainly come back.

Wir haben einen herrlichen Osterurlaub in der Provence bei Marine & Christophe verlebt. Das Haus ist sehr persönlich und liebevoll eingerichtet. Der kleine Innenhof ist ganz zauberhaft und komplett mit Natursteinen ummauert. Alle 3 Feuerstellen haben wir gerne genutzt - es war noch ziemlich kühl. Das Bett im Masterschlafraum ist einfach großartig. Wir haben selten so gut geschlafen im Urlaub. Die Lage haben wir als perfekt für unsere Unternehmungen empfunden. Lange Wandertouren durch die wunderbare Landschaft sind sowohl direkt vom Haus, als auch nach kürzerer Autofahrt in allen Schwierigkeitsgraden reichlich vorhanden. Alle Einkaufsmöglichkeiten sind in 10 Minuten Entfernung (Auto ist notwendig). Marine ist eine ganz reizende Gastgeberin, die da ist, wenn man sie braucht und ansonsten ihren Gästen den nötigen Freiraum gewährt.

Einzige kleiner Kritikpunkt: es ist nur wenig Geschirr vorhanden, auch keine tiefen Teller für Suppe oder Pasta. Wir haben uns anders beholfen, aber hier könnte man vielleicht ein wenig nachbessern.

Fazit: wir werden sicher noch einmal wiederkommen, um all die schönen Wanderungen zu machen, die wir in den 12 Tagen Urlaub nicht geschafft haben.

Merci beaucoup Marine & Christophe
