| We had a wonderful week at Villa Manon. Located on a quiet hillside it is well designed, nicely appointed, and in excellent condition. Our group of 9 adults and 2 young children found many places to gather for conversation or to spread out when we wanted privacy or quiet time. We especially enjoyed lazy afternoons by the pool and dinners overlooking the hills and valley below. The surrounding area has a wide range of attractions and there is something for everyone whether you are looking for history, natural beauty, wine, or shopping and markets. The French-American owner provided detailed and helpful suggestions regarding attractions, towns, and restaurants in the area. I would recommend this home to friends and family. |

The photos just don't do the property justice, it is a
jewel! I concure with all the other testamonials
regarding the beauty of the property and its
location. Just one addition is how accomodating
and helpful the owners, the caretaker and the lovely
cleaner all were. As with anything, things can go
wrong or you need assistence, and thing were
always done quickly and with a smile.
I am tempted to go again and I never travel to the
same place twice! Just to wake up to thjat view! Or
to try to get a table at the comedy Auberge in the
village! |

| From the moment we arrived we knew we had made a mistake. Our mistake was to have booked this fabulous villa for such a short period. By any standard this villa was beyond any of our expectation. As you take your first steps in this property you realize the attention that the owner has put in the smallest detail. I could write an entire book about how uniquely pleasant this villa is but that would be spoiling your own experience. Close to most popular sites of Provence, this villa is very conveniently located and will allow you to take full advantage of your stay. Do yourself a favour and stop your research; you have found the dream villa in the dream location. |

| Villa Manon is truly more fabulous than either the description or photos on this web site can show. Our group stayed there in April. With internet rental properties, you pretty much have to cross your fingers and hope that the actual property approximates its depiction on the web, but you can never be sure. Villa Manon exceeded all of our expectations. I won't repeat the site's description, but assure that the description is accurate or even understated. My favorite feature was the way we could literally open the glass walls of the house to let the outdoors in. It was heavenly to wake up in the master bedroom, sit up in bed and look across the Luberon Valley. The views are breathtaking. The furnishings are all of the highest quality. The outdoor furniture is especially cushy |

Provence at its best!
What a complete Provence experience our trip was, thanks to Villa Manon! Situation is ideal, with modern amenities inside, and true Provence outside: The house is made in "pierre blanche", the local white stone used in Provence, while inside the rooms are oversized and comfortable, with each bedroom having its own bathroom and closets. The pool is a modern work of art, blue tile and overflowing, with Provence-scape and Mont Ventoux for backdrop. We were swimming into infinite provencal delight, with nothing between us and Mont Ventoux but the wind, birds, and a few lavender beds... Adjoining the pool is a covered area with a big table and bbq, just perfect for sharing the meals made in cook's dream kitchen... We were eating dinner sitting 12 so comfortably, it made it hard to go out for dinner! As for groceries, Goult is a 5mn drive, and offers the best of Provence's groceries, and with its windmill and fortress walls still defining the village, makes food shopping a stroll in Provence's history... Provence's smiles and kindness were also present at every corner: The "epicerie" owner said to simply pay another day when I had forgotten my purse, and the cafe owner was offended when I offered to pay ahead for the pissaladiere and "plat du jour" I ordered to go for 12 people for the following day... We felt close to everything, taking walks in the forest and nearby Hameaux, on ways and paths accesible practically out of the backyard, and only to pedestrians. Some of Provence's most interesting villages: Gordes, Roussillon, and Bonnieux are all within 15mn drive. The Senanque Abbaye which is one of my favourite monuments is probably 40 mn away. As for shopping, Avignon is 45mn, Apt 25mn...
