Further details for this holiday rental in Lourmarin, France

Lourmarin - 'One of the Most Beautiful Villages': The village has an outstanding Renaissance chateau. Fully restored, it is open to the public and houses an arts foundation which sponsors cultural events throughout the year. The village also has several art galleries and the best features of Provence: the café terraces, a great weekly market, games of boules, the bustle of village life. The surrounding hilly countryside is very pretty, and the back roads and paths are great to roam on, whether on foot, mountain bike or horseback. Within 10 minutes' drive there is rock-climbing, canoeing and swimming. There are also wineries, and various organic food producers to visit.

The Luberon Regional Natural Park: Lourmarin is in the Luberon Natural Regional park, which is famous for its beauty and history. The village lies on the southern side of the Luberon range of hills, at the entrance to the valley which separates the Petit (Western) Luberon from the Grand (Eastern), and is ideally placed for exploring some of the hidden valleys and 'perched' hill-top villages of the area. North of here lies the 13th century Cistercian abbey of Sénanque and its lavender fields, the villages of Gordes and Bonnieux, the ochre quarries and ochre-coloured houses in Roussillon.

Major tourist attractions: Within easy reach are the walled city of Avignon and its medieval Palais des Papes (Popes' Palace), and the beautiful spa town of Aix-en-Provence, with many shady sidewalk terraces and excellent shops. Other good day trips include Arles, with its Roman amphitheatre and medieval cathedral, and Marseille, which has opportunities for boat rides and scuba-diving, as well as the Côtes-du-Rhône vineyards of Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Gigondas and Vacqueyras. You can also go westwards and visit the Camargue, a unique wetland nature preserve - a paradise for bird-watchers and nature lovers.

Other Activities: wine tasting, gourmet shops & restaurants, art galleries, lavender fields

A month in Lourmarin

Owego Upstate New York USA
Review Submitted: September 11, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
I spent a month at La Petite Maison after discovering the property online. It was exactly as I had pictured it -- very charmingly Provencal. I found the people in the village itself very friendly and helpful, making my stay comfortable and a thoroughly positive experience. Lourmarin has abundant cafes and restaurants but, I was able to prepare many of my meals in the well equipped kitchen. There are also great boutiques and art galleries in the village. Joseph and Elizabeth answered all my questions before my arrival (as well as during my stay) and even helped me to arrange transportation between the airport and the village. This is a clean, well laid out apartment in a very beautiful part of France -- a great place to relax and unwind.

A delightful Provencal experience

JJGS Red Lion, PA USA
Review Submitted: August 28, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
As a business professional, I travel frequently for business and try to travel internationally for pleasure. Finding La Petite Maison on-line was by pure chance. Even before my trip, interactions with the owners, Joe and Elisabeth were prompt and helpful. Upon arrival in Lourmarin, Joe met me, lead me to the apartment and made certain that I was aware of all the facets of this delightful accommodation. This charming 16th century house immediately felt like home. From the well equipped kitchen, dining and living area to the second floor spacious bedroom, everything I needed was available to make my stay comfortable. As I had not realized that internet connection was available - this added convenience was a great surprise. Elisabeth made sure that I had directions to not only a local market but a much more comprehensive one nearby. The village of Lourmarin is not only picturesque but offers a range of restaurants for most palates. Art galleries abound as well as historical sites and everything in the town is within walking distance. A little over an hours drive in any direction is sufficient to provide activities each day - from markets to awesome scenery to Roman ruins to vineyards or olive oil producers. I have been to Provence before but my stay in this self-catering accommodation was by far the most relaxing and pleasant I have experienced. I would happily recommend La Petite Maison to a friend, relative or anyone who is searching for a 'home away from home'. Thank you, Joe and Elisabeth!!

Dreadful reality compared with superficial gloss

Review Submitted: August 24, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
Lourmarin, Luberon, France, La Petite Maison, 25th to 31st July 2009
In appearance this is a very cute little house albeit the ceiling heights were very low particularly on the stairs and bathroom. We were, however, prepared to make some concessions to the age and size of the house thinking the charm would outweigh the inconvenience and we planned to stay for a week. The first day we identified three problems which the owner attempted to fix temporarily. The second night was, however, decisive. We could not understand why the bed was moving and why it dipped in the middle until we looked underneath to discover the bed base was held together with loosely tied electrical cables and supported by a pile of books, that had collapsed. On reporting this next morning the owner claimed that they were unaware of the problem with the bed. We packed and left feeling that the charm of the place was far outweighed by the inconvenience, discomfort, poor maintenance and cavalier attitude to guests.
Owner's Response: On Sunday morning, after a Saturday afternoon arrival, these guests (one from Scotland, one from France) called us to tell us about two minor problems which we were previously unaware of. Both problems were fixed by the end of that morning, apparently to the guests’ satisfaction. On Monday morning we received another call informing us that the couple had found a third problem, again unknown to us, and that they had already left the accommodation definitively.

By Monday evening, repair of the third problem (which was significant ) had been completed by our local carpenter. Also, our plumber had been to the house and had installed a new showerhead.

Please note that we have ten years of experience in the vacation rental business here in Provence and that many of our guests are happy to return to our accomodations year after year. When informed of a repair issue in one of our eight rental accomodations, we always make a point of acting as promptly as possible, as we did in this case. Also, we believe that our advertising is accurate, and that we offer a high standard of accommodation for a reasonable price in one of the loveliest and liveliest villages in France.
