Recently restored country house with a heated pool

Beautiful Home in Provence

We had an outstanding experience at Bastide des Chênes. This is a beautiful home, optimally located for short drives to all of the spectacular small villages of the Luberon. Inside, the house includes 5 well-appointed bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, a large living room and dining room, and nicely equipped kitchen. All bedrooms and the common spaces have air conditioning units which are controlled within each room--the air conditioning worked perfectly. Despite high outdoor temperatures typical of summer in Provence the air conditioning worked so well that it kept the home very cool and comfortable. Outside, as the pictures suggest there is a beautiful pool area, extensive grounds, and several outdoor seating areas. With the beautiful weather we were outside enjoying the views of Murs and the Provence countryside at the pool in the afternoons and had dinner under the shaded area by the home in the evenings. We made use of the electric grill as well. The property caretaker, is superb. He welcomed us to the property and provided a helpful overview. He was immediately responsive when we had questions or if any minor issues that arose. We also made use of the grocery delivery on the day of our arrival which worked out perfectly. The onsite lady was amazing in obtaining all of the items we had requested and truly went above and beyond. We also had her cook two outstanding meals of Provence cuisine during our stay. We have had outstanding experiences with Provence Holidays over several years, including with all aspects of a recently completed rental. The staff are extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and timely in their responses. Their concierge services have also been of great help in assisting in arranging drivers, grocery delivery, etc.

Spectacular views over the valley, the photos do not do it justice

Bastide des Chênes is a spacious, extremely comfortable and well equipped house in extensive grounds which include a beautiful pool and spectacular views over the valley. The bedrooms and bathrooms are all completed to a high specification. The photos advertising the house do not do it justice, it really has to be seen to appreciate the quality. On arrival we received a very warm welcome from Francois, who was also always available via phone to deal with any questions. When we were there in late June/early July we were enthralled by the extensive variety of butterflies on the lavender and birdsong from the surrounding woodland. The house is rurally situated so there is no shop within short walking distance but the small shop at Murs is only a short drive from the house. This was one of the best of many places in Provence that we have stayed at over the years.

Intimité et raffinement Intimacy and refinement

Je recommande vivement la Bastide des Chênes pour tout groupe désireux de profiter d'une propriété bien équipée. "Le diable est dans les détails" : le soin apporté à la décoration et aux détails, à l'intérieur comme à l'extérieur, force l'admiration. La qualité des équipements (dont la connectivité) a été fort appréciée. La gentillesse des hôtes et de l'équipe de maintenance complètent une offre fort agréable. Il fût difficile de quitter la Bastide...
