Our family of 4 stayed in Bastide Etoile Lourmarin for one week and truly enjoyed our stay. Booking online vacations can sometimes be scary, as the pictures are usually nicer than the property. In this case however, the property far exceeded the pictures. From the moment we walked in the door we knew we had chosen well! The house is very spacious, much more room than we needed. We could have easily traveled with friends or another family. The house is only 18 months old, beautifully, yet simply decorated, with very unique touches we really appreciated. The outdoor pool and grounds are beautiful. Lourmarin is about a 15 minute walk from the home. Some of which does not have a sidewalk, and the cars do speed down pretty fast. We decided to go to the "Marche's" in the local towns each day and buy food to cook at home. The kitchen is well equipped to do so. The only reason I did not rate the home a 5 star is due to the lack of air conditioning (which the owners are putting in for next year). As most the rooms have doors that open up, not windows, it was not as easy keeping it cool at night. Being americans as well, we are used to our air conditioning, and that was a challenge at night. But this however, is a personal preference. Others may not mind. Knowing that their will be air conditioning next year, I would, without hesitation return, as well as recommend this home to our friends. Christel, as well, was very attentive and helpful, and responded very quickly any time we had a question. Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful home! We hope to be back again!
