Beautiful place, wonderful stay
My husband and I just returned from two weeks staying at Veronique's property, and we loved it. The apartment is light, airy and very spacious. There is a large dining room table, a very comfortable sitting area with chairs and a couch around the fireplace, a workable kitchen, and two bedrooms. Everything was spotless clean, and the bed very comfortable. Everything is provided for, including a thoughtful market bag for purchases at the many markets in Provence. But lovely as the gite is, what we loved most of all was the location. The property is very rural and private, surrounded by beautiful vineyards and olive trees, with mountains in the distance. It is incredibly quiet and peaceful, and there are beautiful walks through the fields. You definitely need a car but with that you can easily explore Provence. We were there in March, and the weather was quite chilly some of the time but the fireplace was easy to use and lots of firewood was provided. The floor tiles are heated which was much appreciated! The swimming pool of course was not yet open, but it looked beautiful, situated among the olive trees.
Veronique was a pleasure to deal with as host, replying very quickly to emails and answering all questions, and Marie-Pierre (the contact at Le Barroux) was wonderful and very accommodating. We were later than expected getting to the gite -- we didn't arrive until almost 10 pm -- but she was there waiting to greet us when we arrived. And we much appreciated the bottle of wine waiting for us from Veronique, after our long trip!
It is a very special place. We highly recommend staying here, and definitely plan to return!
