Nearly 10 years of vacationing in the south of France meant we finally had to visit the Luberon area. But those famous villages are so over-crowded we decided on the eastern region and this country house in Cereste, which proved to be absolutely perfect. First, all of our booking questions were answered promptly and most thoroughly, so we knew exactly what kind of house to expect; we were also provided with endless tips on what to see and do, where to eat & explore, in the area. Just prior to our holiday I had a terrible biking accident which required a local doctor to tend to my head injury. Both Lynne (who managed the reservation) and Patrick (the French owner) were absolutely wonderful to me in every respect, and reassured me prior to departure that good medical care would be arranged. Both Lynne and Patrick made doctor appointments, and checked in on me to find out how I was doing. (The local doctor was fantastic, too). We have 2 kids (aged 10 and 15) who loved the solitude of the property and the beautiful views from the pool top area. If they were not out exploring during the day (Colorado Rustrel, Apt, local markets), the large pool was where we spent most of our time. My husband is a gourmet cook, and found everything he needed. Patrick gave us our choice of grill (he has 2 properties, but you cant see or hear the other party whatsoever) and provided bikes, and immediately tended to any question that came up. We couldnt get the DVD to work, and he came immediately and the next day he brought a brand new Blueray, for example. The location provides 100% solitude but is also minutes from Cereste, minutes from the local stable (important for my horse rididing daughter) and the many lovely hill-top villages in this area are so unlike the tourist traps of Lacoste, Lourmarin, Gordes, Bonnieux etc., but as distinct and beautiful. How long this area remains unspoiled is the question then! As for the house, it is simple and basically decorated, but our main priorities were proper facilities, high standard of cleanliness and comforable beds, all of which were fulfilled. Most of all, Patrick and his family made us feel most welcome and went out of their ways to ensure that our 2 weeks exceeded our expectations! Merci beaucoup.
