Sablet holiday house

When we were looking for a rental in Provence we wanted a village in which we could find all the essentials without it being "touristy" and a house that we'd be really comfortable in - with a little luxury! We found exactly what we were looking for in Quatre Terrasses in Sablet. We adored the village and the house was perfect. We were two couples and a baby (grandparents, parents and a year old baby). Louise was extremely helpful and arranged for a crib and high chair for the baby. Linda and Paul, who live just opposite and were the contact people for the house, were lovely to deal with. The house is large and airy - there are two sitting rooms, the bedrooms are comfortable, the terraces are all delightful, the views are enchanting, the kitchen is well-equipped and the bathrooms are large and well-appointed. The garage was convenient because we had bikes that we wanted to secure (and mom, dad and grandpa!! all made it up Mt. Ventoux). The village was marvellous. By the time we left we had fallen in love with it - fresh meats, bread, vegetables and wine were within a two minute walk - and everyone we dealt with in the village was patient and helpful. There's also a cafe, a restaurant and a marvellous take-out pizza place (the mushroom and eggplant/aubergine one is to die for). The library has internet (if you happen to have need of the wired world instead of the gentle easy-going one that you relax into in Sablet...) and you can get the International Herald Tribune at the tobbaconist (just in case you care about the outside world). The walks and cycling around Sablet are utterly charming - and the view back to the village lifts your spirits. It's an easy drive to so many other delightful places (though none that made us wish we were anywhere but where we were). We would all love to return, and we wouldn't change a thing.
