Jabron-Lure-Vançon-Durance Holiday Rentals

"The room was in a great condition and the breakfast ($$) was very nice with personal touches. I loved the free parking. "

"Wonderful place to stay in Digne. The property is excellent and the staff truly outstanding in terms of care and attention. The amenities are great for couples and families alike. We enjoyed our dinner at the restaurant, and liked the overall commitment to sustainability. "

"This place felt like heaven! We didn’t want to leave. I honestly can’t fault anything about it - it was so lovely. The spa is like nothing I’ve ever experienced in my life. It was absolutely perfect. Can’t wait to go back!"

"We were looking for a hilltop Luberon village in which to celebrate a special birthday and we were not disappointed with Pierre's Gite in St Martin de Castillon. The Gite is situated in the heart of St Martin, within easy 2 minute walking distance from a carpark. The Gite is over 3-4 levels with each area revealing an eclectic range of furnishing, sculptures and art works in what is obviously a well loved and respected family home. All of the rooms were excellent with well appointed bedrooms, bathrooms and lounge, but the rooftop terrace provided an amazing place to sit, drink, eat and simply gaze out over the beautiful valley vista. There is a well stocked local store with everything you would need, and there are major supermarkets in Apt, a 20 minute drive away. The local bar serves great beer and wines and has pizzas available a few nights a week. It's a great place to sit drink and fraternise with the locals.The town itself is fascinating to walk through but it also offers access to the vast number of other local hilltop villages. You would be hard pressed to visit them all! The only down side was that the instructions given to us by BookaBatch were out of date and did not tell us how to access the Gite. However, a quick phone call to Pierre had everything sorted very quickly. This problem was not Pierre's fault, but it might pay to check the date stamp on the access instructions!"

"Excellent location and very friendly host"

"We picked based on location and reviews. Unfortunately the photos were not what we got. The room was very much outdated. The whole property needs a facelift. The rooms looked rundown "

"This is a comfortable house with a lovely view. The house itself is big with new and spacious kitchen and bathroom. The beds are pretty comfortable as well. It has a good sized swimming pool and some outdoor space. The surrounding areas are beautiful with dramatic hills all around. All in all we had a lovely week and we hope to return with more of our family."

"We had the most wonderful stay at La Fenice. It’s a traditional French house with charm and character, making it very special. The communication from the owner was fantastic, answered all of my questions before and during our stay. Pierre Yves (the local manager) was lovely, very friendly, checked we were ok and if we needed anything but never intruded. The kitchen was well stocked, the beds were extremely comfortable, and the house itself stayed cool despite the high temperatures thanks to its thick walls. The pool was absolutely perfect - refreshing, always at the right temperature, and the ideal spot to relax throughout the day. The garden offered the most beautiful view of the sunrise coming up over the distant mountains. The location is fantastic - quiet but not isolated. On a couple of the evenings we were there the local cafe/bar held events, one musical and one a film/food night. At the bottom of hill, La Pastorale restaurant was a real treat and comes highly recommended. We also loved exploring the local markets in Apt and Forcalquier – brimming with fresh produce, local wines, artisan goods, and plenty of treasures to bring home.This was a true home away from home – peaceful, comfortable, and full of Provençal character. We left feeling completely relaxed and would return in a heartbeat."

"A lovely gite, a few minutes walk from all the bars, restaurants and shops in Bedoin. The pool was very welcome during the hot days. Inside the property is well maintained and was perfect for four people for our 2 week stay. The hosts are a delightful couple who invited us over for an aperitif at the start of our stay and then provided us with lovely home made jam during our time at the gite."
