This wonderful house, just a stone's throw from the village centre, is the perfect base for a holiday in Provence. That said, it was also so fabulous that we didn't really want to leave it at all! Usually when we stay in Lourmarin we end up going on lots of day trips, but this charming house is so perfect that we ended up making excuse after excuse as to why we should just spend 'one more day' relaxing, and so our big excursion each day was either to the bakery (one minute away) or the ice-cream shop (two minutes away!). Step out of your ground-floor bedroom - there are other bedrooms upstairs, but the ground-floor is the coolest and we were on our own - and you're at the pool, which is the perfect way to cool down on a hot Provence day. Under the olive tree, there's a table which is perfect to eat a meal at regardless of the time of day and inside there's a well-stocked kitchen which is lovely to cook in, a large fridge/freezer, a washing machine, oven and hob. Every single detail has been thought about by the hosts, who are incredibly friendly, helpful and easy to reach. All you need to provide is your own croissants! Despite being so close to the village centre, the house is completely private - the garden is walled, it feels as if you are in the middle of the countryside yet you are next door to absolutely everything you need. We have been to Lourmarin many times and love everything about it, including, now this property. The decor is minimalist and beautiful, the house is airy and spotlessly clean, the pool is just the right size and depth...I really can't praise the house and the hosts enough. We are already looking at dates for next year and hoping the house will be free for a return visit. Thank you so much for an amazing, relaxing, luxurious stay - it was exactly what we needed and we hope to see you again soon! Richard and Stacia X
