We spent six enoyable days here, the area being within easy reach of all the little perched villages in the Luberon one reads so much about. Gilles and Isobelle... read more made us very welcome. Gilles is a chef with a well equipped kitchen from which he produces the meal for around 20 guests each evening. Guests are from many countries and you have an opportunity to practice your languages. Each course is introduced by Gilles in an entertaining style and he also provides vin de pays plus a special wine to complement the meal. One evening we were entertain by their son on his accordion playing French folk songs to which many of the group sang.
Breakfasts have plenty of choice with cereals, croissants, breads, honey, jams and fresh fruit - grapes straight fro the vine. Our hosts gave freely of their local knowledge to advise on lovely walks or cycle rides and were happy to loan maps, books and even bikes. There is a communal kitchen equipped with kettle, microwave, fridge and washing machine. A swimming pool is a treat at the end of a hot day.
By the time we left we felt part of the family. Many people return regularly and we can see why. We have no hesitation in recommending the place and we shall certainly try to book in if we return to this area. Excellent value for money.

  My wife and I wanted to disconnect some days from our busy life and we decided to go to Provence a region that we know and which is relatively close... read more to us. The area of lavender and the yellow ochre landscape that inspired Van Gogh was appealing to us. We looked through Internet and we decided to stay few days in this gites d'etape in the middle of the park of Luberon. We don't repent!! The hotel is an old mill restored and the rooms are very agreeable. The food prepared by Gilles and Isabelle is excellent. There is a small size swimming pool but good enough to refresh after an extremely hot day. It's a good idea to set a long table for dinner outside in the garden for all the clients together which allows them to meet new people and different cultures. Excellent to go with children. Gilles who is an excellent connoisseur of the area gave us good suggestions about daily trips that we would not probably do without his help. Perching villages, and walking itineraries through different parts of the park which strengthened our legs. At the end we were able to disconnect!! Thank you Gilles and Isabelle. Wish you a lot of success!!
