Our group of seven, including family and good friends, just returned from a one-week stay at the St. Roch Farmhouse. I cannot say enough good things about both the property itself and the family who owns it, specifically Sebastian, who I had been communicating with for well over a year prior to our stay. The farmhouse is ideally located in the heart of the Luberon, an easy commute from towns like L'isle Sur La Sorgue, Gordes, Apt, Avignon, Saint Remy de Provence etc, but with the additional benefit of providing a more local and less touristy feel, being tucked away in a small village. We were instantly bowled over by our accommodations! The house is truly beautiful, with two gigantic master bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, 2 medium sized bedrooms sharing a bathroom, and a delightful bedroom/bathroom unit bang next to the pool, feeling like a little cottage on its own. My son and his girlfriend were so happy to occupy that unit, especially since they got engaged during our week there. The house also boasts a lovely large living/dining area inside with an equally large family/game room on the upper level. Completed by a fully functional kitchen with everything one would need to cook elaborate meals in. The entire house is tastefully decorated with loving attention to detail, making you reluctant to leave the property for long periods of time. With the gorgeous pool beckoning and the table tennis/snooker/piano/library all at one's disposal, we could have just stayed put at the farmhouse the entire week! Robion is a friendly little commune, with the nicest people, and has a couple of great bakeries, a small but more than adequate grocery store, a fruit/veg market, a wine cave, hair salons, and restaurants. All of which are a short walk from the farmhouse. We wanted for nothing our entire week, it was a perfect stay at a perfect place, and we would never think of staying anywhere else in the Luberon. This review would not be complete without mentioning Sebastian again. Having worked several years in the travel industry in the past and being lucky enough to travel many times each year, I am truly astonished and wonderfully surprised to meet somebody like him. He is prompt with email communications, from the time of initial enquiry and booking, to answering innumerable questions and proffering advice until arrival. There is NOTHING he would not do to assist you, constantly going above and beyond to make your stay a wonderful one...
