A Perfect Retreat in Provence 普罗旺斯的完美度假胜地
Our stay at this stunning house in Provence was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by the sheer space and comfort it provided. Each of the bedrooms was spacious and featured its own (also large) en-suite bathroom, ensuring privacy and convenience for all guests. In fact, all rooms were large, airy, and wonderfully cool, offering a refreshing escape from the summer heat. On arrival, we were met by Celine, the housekeeper, who showed us all of the up-to-the-minute technological gizmos the house has to offer (the house really is equipped with everything you could possibly need, the computer server for the home looks as if it’d be at home at NASA). The modern kitchen was just wonderful, having state-of-the-art appliances and well-considered touches that made us want to update our kitchen at home. And on top of mezzanine hallways and the double height living room, table tennis table, zonal air-conditioning and vacuum cleaner that’s actually built into the walls….., the cellar is converted into a large home cinema with huge sofas - perfect for letting the children unwind with a good film after a long day exploring the local towns. Outside, the high fence and large remote-locking gate provide peace of mind, especially for families with young children, so we felt comfortable letting the children run around without having to follow them everywhere. The salt-water pool was the best possible entertainment system for the children, so much so that we had to abandon a couple of day trips! We also made full use of the outdoor kitchen, which came complete with a built-in barbecue, Big Green Egg, pizza oven, fridge, freezer, and even an outdoor dishwasher. Seating for a dozen made alfresco dining a real Mediterranean family affair. Also, for entertainment, the Petanque court was a charming addition, adding a fun touch to our afternoons..
我们在普罗旺斯的这所令人惊叹的房子里度过了一段难忘的时光。从我们抵达的那一刻起，我们就被它的宽敞和舒适所震撼。每间卧室都很宽敞，并配有独立浴室（也很大），确保了所有客人的隐私和便利。事实上，所有房间都宽敞通风、凉爽宜人，让人在炎炎夏日里神清气爽。 抵达时，管家 Celine 接见了我们，她向我们展示了房子里所有最新的科技设备（房子里确实配备了一切你可能需要的东西，家里的电脑服务器看起来就像在 NASA 的家里一样）。现代化的厨房非常棒，拥有最先进的电器和精心设计的点缀，让我们忍不住想要更新家里的厨房。除了夹层走廊、双层高客厅、乒乓球桌、分区空调和吸尘器（实际上是内置在墙壁.....）之外，地窖还被改装成了一个大型家庭影院，里面摆放着巨大的沙发--非常适合让孩子们在游览当地城镇一整天之后，看一场精彩的电影放松一下。 在室外，高高的围栏和遥控上锁的大铁门让人放心，尤其是对于有小孩的家庭来说，我们可以放心地让孩子们到处跑，而不必跟着他们到处跑。咸水泳池是孩子们最好的娱乐系统，以至于我们不得不放弃了几次一日游！ 我们还充分利用了室外厨房，它配备了内置烧烤炉、Big Green Egg、披萨烤箱、冰箱、冰柜，甚至还有一台室外洗碗机。十几个座位让露天用餐成为真正的地中海家庭活动。 此外，在娱乐活动方面，比坦克球场也是一个迷人的补充，为我们的午后时光增添了乐趣。
