Perfect in every way

Our plan was to have a long summer stay in the south of France with our large family. From the moment we booked the house Nina was very accommodating; answering my questions and preparing the house to welcome my family including my children. When we arrived she had built a cot for my baby as well as put up baby stair gates! The house itself is wonderful. We all felt at home with it’s beautiful decor and comfort. The kitchen is an absolute pleasure to cook in as it is so well equipped. We had many memorable meals sat out at the huge dining table outside watching the sunset. The Swimming pool is delightful and maintained well. Nina and Rupert we always available but were also keen to give us privacy. There is a great selection of reading material and plenty of games to enjoy. I do not have a negative thing to say about the house and garden or our stay. We enjoyed exploring the beautiful surroundings including the magnificent Aix en Provence, a truly beautiful French city. We also visited on multiple occasions the romantic town of Cassis by the sea. With family coming and going throughout our holiday the fact that the airport was only 25 minutes away meant that pick ups and drop offs were easy. The local market in the nearby town, Gardanne was fabulous and is a dream come true for anyone who enjoys food and cooking! I cannot describe how lovely this house is. We had such a special holiday and I am very grateful to Nina and Rupert for providing their home to enable us to relax, laugh and create such wonderful memories.

Beautiful property in lovely Provence

Our two families with children 10-14 had a fantastic stay in this amazing house. The garden and grounds are immaculately kept and provide a range of seating areas for relaxing, BBQs and watching amazing sunsets. Indoors, the house is very well laid out with plenty of space and enough bathrooms to comfortably accommodate two families and the beds are comfortable. The house is also exceptionally well equipped with Weber grill, cooking utensils, TV, washing machine etc. Good quality linens, including beach towels were provided. The owners were extremely friendly and helpful, from the moment of providing detailed directions to the property to helping us make the most out of our last day and late night flight. The welcome pack of local grocery items left by the owners was really appreciated as well as the store cupboard essentials. The spacious pool and petanque court mean that you could happily spend the entire holiday around the house, but you would be missing out on the attractions of the local area. We enjoyed lovely day trips to local markets, Marseille, Aqualand, Cassis and Les Baux-de-Provence. The supermarket and an excellent bakery are 5 minutes down the road and the house itself is set within scenic woods. In summary, we really enjoyed our stay in this house and highly recommend that you book, you won't regret it!

Excellent!

It was a beautiful well equipped villa. Both Nina & Rupert were very friendly and open for questions and tips. If we were to plan a holiday again in the region we would for sure put this house as our first choice!
