We were a group of grandma with her two sons and their families including 4 children aged between 9 and 13 meeting up for a week together. We all loved our stay. The setting was magical, --in fact, everything about the place was magical -- the location perfect, the house beautiful, spacious, comfortable and extremely well stocked with everything we needed. The grounds and the swimming pool were fantastic. We loved eating under the grape arbor at the stone table, barbecuing in the evenings, swimming and relaxing by the pool, wandering around the village looking for the SATOR stone, climbing up to the church. There was plenty of room for all 9 of us --In addition it was easy to visit other nearby beautiful villages -- which we did in the mornings. It was so extremely peaceful and beautiful and full of summer and gave us all the opportunity to spend a wonderful week together. Everyone thought it was one of the best holidays ever, a dream holiday, and wished we could have stayed much longer.

Communication and support from the owners was top notch (before and during stay). House is beautiful - rustic but functional with a superb modern pool area. Very private. Four couples and two teenagers and space was never an issue. Three stories and all en suite rooms. Lots of extra baby/toddler equipment we did not use. A very well stocked kitchen/dining room making family meals and BBQs a breeze. Two fridges/freezers - we used one for the alcohol and ice cream. Separate garden area where the kids played table tennis. Whole house was immaculate when we arrived and was refreshed mid week. We felt relaxed and comfortable the entire two weeks. The surrounding areas had enough to do to keep us occupied for two weeks - especially as it was such an effort to drag ourselves away from the sunbeds and pool. Shops very close by and fab towns for restaurants and hyper marches. Spoilt for choice with markets. Multi generational family would return in a heartbeat. We genuinely did not want to leave. Thank you so much for both being such attentive and kind hosts. This was special family time we will never forget.

We wouldn’t have returned if we didn’t find this place a wonderful place to enjoy all there is to offer in this region of France as well as the house itself. An eighteenth century building with the amenities of today. We liked it so much, we are already dreaming of our return!

We stayed here after a week in Valbonne, and thoroughly enjoyed it. The house is located in the heart of the village, with Le Petit Cafe directly opposite. Communication with the hosts was excellent: Nicolas emailed us weeks before the trip with detailed instructions, and Thierry welcomed us on the day of our arrival. The check-in process was quick. The house itself is incredibly charming and gives you the impression you're living in a castle. The layout can be tricky for very small kids (we had 1.5, 4 and 6 year olds) because the steps are quite steep so you need to watch out where they're walking. The swimming pool, surrounded by fig, almond and olive trees, was almost as if from a novel: deep blue water (reasonably cool when we were there) that offered a refreshing swim and a fantastic view of the cathedral above. The village is surrounded by vineyards and olive orchards, offering superb opportunities for walks or bicyle trips. There are plenty of things to do further afield from Opede: everything worth seeing in Provence (Gordes, Bonnieux, Avignon, Menerbes, Lourmarin) is a 20-40 minute drive from the house. There are summer sunset concerts at the cathedral above the village - unforgettable - and fun events (tapas night + jazz) at Le Petit Cafe. Previous renters left a few things behind here and there (espresso pods, olive oil, sun screen) so you really feel like you're staying in a friend's house. We would certainly like to come back.
