Stunning and peaceful hideaway in the heart of Provence
Beautiful, spacious gite at the back of the owner's house overlooking a vineyard. What could be more pleasant? We were met by Eveline, the owner, who greeted us warmly and showed us around. She was a lovely host, there if you needed her, but discreet to let you get on with your holiday.
We loved the patio overlooking the vines which was shaded for breakfast and lunch. The pool was a good size so you can do some proper swimming.
We walked into Menerbes on a couple of occasions, which took 30 minutes. For the boulangerie we recommend driving to the bottom of the gite road and parking by the community centre before ascending a short way on foot into Menerbes, as it is on the approach road to the village centre. It also has a few other useful essentials such as loo roll! The main supermarket, Super U, is a 10 minute drive away. There is so much to see and do in the area, as well as wanting time to relax by the pool. A week was not long enough!
Highlights included Menerbes, Gourdes, Roussillon, the Colorado Provencal, Saignon, a trip to Cassis and the Calanques and an afternoon in Aix. All fabulous!
Merci Eveline!
