Stay in the beautiful village of Venelles. Great hosts Laurence and Roberto - I will not hesitate to use the word that from now on our friends ;) Helpful, kind - we had a problem with the car, the insurer did not help us but we could count on Laurence and Roberto. We will definitely come to Venelles again of course to Laurence and Roberto. We can wholeheartedly recommend the stay to others. Monika and Piotr. P.S. In the area there is a nice bar with delicious coffee and a pizzeria with delicious pizza.

We stayed 3 nights, the apartment has everything we needed for our stay. The location is ideal- local bus to Aix-en-Provence rather than driving and parking, boulangerie on the nearest corner, butcher, supermarket and restaurants all an easy walk. Laurence and Roberto were charming and helpful hosts.

This was an excellent choice of place to stay. We were within 100 metres of a bakers, a pizza oven, a street market (Saturdays), a supermarket and the bus stop. All we could wish for in a base for our holiday. We hopped on the 35 minute bus into Aix (only €2.20 return!) and enjoyed Cezanne, Chagall, Van Gogh, Monet and Picasso - a feast of art and culture. We even visited Cezanne's studio by bus and walked up to his favour view of Mont Sainte-Victoire. We enjoyed the market - one every day of the week - and indulged in the street food of roast - be it chicken, pork or duck. Being so near to the Luberon, we transversed the small villages from Tour d'Aigue to Lourmarin, stopping off at Cucuron for wonderful meals there (€10.5 for single course to €22.5 for 3-course). Chateau La Coste with its many sculptures was a nice walk after a very pleasant 3-course meal in the restaurant (expect €35 for three course daily menu). Altogether this was a location to enjoy, and the bonus was the well catered kitchen with the essential items that we only needed small quantities of but otherwise would have had to purchase in significant quantities. It was nice to have ready on hand items such as oil and vinegar, salt, pepper and sugar, toilet paper and hand soap. An exceptional apartment in an exceptional location. Thank you Laurence and Roberto.
