My wife, our 16-month-old, and I thoroughly enjoyed our week in Provence. Maria and her husband were amazing hosts who truly could not do enough for us.The gîte is perfectly located just outside the lovely market town of Apt, which gave us easy access to supermarkets and amenities. It was also an ideal base for exploring—we were within a 30-to-40-minute drive of some incredible places, including the Musée de la Lavande, Gordes, L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, and the Chemin des Lavandes.The property itself is fantastic. The gîte was well-equipped, featuring great indoor and outdoor dining areas as well as comfortable sun loungers. The pool was absolutely beautiful and kept impeccably clean.We also happened to visit during a major heatwave, and even though the gîte doesn't have traditional air conditioning, the underfloor cooling system worked perfectly to keep the property incredibly comfortable despite the 40C heat. Surrounding the village are stunning lavender fields and orchards.As an added bonus, we loved the occasional visits from the family dog, who was never any trouble and was incredibly sweet and gentle with our son. We highly recommend staying here!
