La Pinède review

Dear Emotional Escapes,
We stayed at La Pinede for two weeks in September 2014. We had family join us from the UK and Australia. We had a wonderful time. The house is fantastic as is the garden and swimming pool. All roo... Read more ms are decorated beautifully and all have their own bathrooms. There is plenty of space in the house to accommodate the numbers. We used the outside area every day and the pizza oven and bbq daily. The house is in a quiet area but only a short walk from Eygalieres village which has a lovely cafe for coffee and wine, a great butcher, cheese shop, grocery store and bakery. The market of Friday morning is great. Great location to visit the Provence villages but also great just to stay at home, relax and eat great local produce and of course some Rose! Close

Dear Emotional Escapes,
Excellent property, pretty much all you need for a perfect relaxing break.

La Maison à Caromb review

Dear Emotional Escapes,
We stayed at La Maison à Caromb in August 2014 and found it to be a delightful villa, full of character and space. We were a group of 12 ranging from 1 to 75 and there was plenty of space to accommod... Read more ate everyone, in fact more than enough. Centrally located in the heart of Caromb, the house is a few seconds walk from the boulangerie for morning croissants, plus all the other shops in the village and several restaurants and bars. However, the house feels very private and there was no issue with noise. The terrace is lovely and the gate down to the rest of the garden can be kept closed if you have small children to contain! We couldn't fault anything with the villa - a very enjoyable holiday!! Close

L'Oliveraie review

Dear Emotional Escapes,
We loved this property and the setting - it has been so well thought out and looked after. There was everything you needed to have a great holiday, and especially to entertain children and relax. The ... Read more shaded area by the pool is great, as are the other two wooden areas in the gardens. The house was beautifully decorated and generally well equipped. This properly offers both a great location to explore the area (which has so much to offer), but also to take the opportunity to simply chill out and relax. Make sure you have stocked up on Saturday, as we really struggled to find open shops on the Sunday! We will hopefully visit again in the future.

Aqua Vita review

Dear Emotional Escapes,
We rented the place for a week in August. The excuse was a pending 50th anniversary and the guests we invited included all the people who are the product of that long-ago event. There were 18 of us, o... Read more f three generations ranging in age from 2 to 72. Now the review.
It was beyond perfect! The rooms were large and beautiful and immaculate. The views are indescribable! The pool area is the icing on the cake. Speaking of cake and icing, we were lucky enough to arrange for a chef to do all the dinnertime cookin.. That turned out to be the highlight of the whole experience. Three course dinners - French, of course - that were perfectly prepared, beautifully presented, nicely served, and always topped with a desert that delighted and excited.

The surroundings are lovely with several small towns nearby among the most beautiful I've ever seen. Andrew was on hand and very helpful when we needed a sticking door oiled up or additional instructions on pool or gate maintenance. Don't forget to ask the two of them for bakery and market recommendations.

There aren't that many travel experiences in my life where every high expectation was met or exceeded. This one is now at the top of that list. Close

Château d'Eygalières review

Dear Emotional Escapes,
We had an excellent stay in this fabulous house. There were 9 of us in our party and the accommodation was extremely comfortable at that level. All of the facilities were of a very high standard, with... Read more the property and grounds very well maintained by Daniel and Mireille, who were friendly and extremely helpful. The rooms were presented very well and the air-con in the main three rooms made life very easy on the occasional stuffy night. For a full party (15) I would have thought an additional fridge in the main house would have been a worthwhile addition, if only to chill the vast quantities of Rosé wine that have to be consumed when in the Alpilles area. It would also be helpful to have a BBQ a little closer to the house.

The house is well placed for Eygalières (little to do, but plenty of restaurants - we went to three and the quality of the food was great), Cavaillon (a bit of the same, but much bigger, and where would highly recommend a meal at Prévôt). Aix is a 40 minute drive away, but easily accessible and a lovely town. St Rémy is also very nice (but we prefer it when the market is not on, as it is absolutely packed then).

There is a very good local taxi firm, who we found to be extremely reliable (0033 680 323 673) and the local boulangerie is extremely good and open seven days a week.

This is our third visit to the area and was our most enjoyable - I'd highly recommend it. Close

Aqua Vita review

Dear Emotional Escapes,
This is a splendid property. The photographs on the web site do not exaggerate its attractiveness - indeed, they don't convey the full beauty of the 22 acre property planted with vineyards, olive tree... Read more s and lavender, or capture the full splendor of the views from its hilltop location. Our party included 18 members of three generations of our family, ranging from two to seventy years in age. It was perfect for everyone, with more than enough room inside and out for all to engage in whatever activity they wished, without stepping on one another's toes. We had expected the house would be a base for excursions in the area, and it was; but we'd underestimated the extent to which most of our group preferred simply to stay and enjoy the house and grounds.

No description of this property would be complete without reference to the resident property managers, Louise and Andrew Cross. Apart from being personally delightful, they maintain the property beautifully, are accommodating and responsive in every way, and Louise organised a superb chef for the two catered dinners we arranged during our too-short one-week stay.

Highly recommended.
