    Property not prepared to an acceptable standard. Owner out of the country no local help or contact available. We left early. Owner has proposed £200 discount which I look forward to receiving shortly.

    We had a great holiday in this charming property in the centre of the beautiful village of Venterol. For us the situation and accommodation were perfect, as was the weather for the whole 10 days! Must also add how obliging and flexible the owners were- very anxious to ensure everything was good for our stay. Highly recommended.

    Venterol is a tucked away gem in the Rhône-Alpes region, a medieval perched village, and this house is lovely, comfortable, and right off the center of the square. We loved the country hillsides of the area, where wine, olives, cherries, figs, apricots, and lavender grow in abundance. The people in the village couldn't have been nicer, and we felt particularly welcomed by the young proprietors of Café de la Poste. Our stay was heavenly: we woke up every morning to birdsong and the sound of church bells from the wrought-iron bell tower, and we spent our days roaming the countryside (this is a great spot for accessing nearby Roman ruins, vineyards, markets) or sitting on the terrace with tea and fresh bread. We even had the added curiosity of watching a film crew that was shooting in the town square. The house was well-appointed with all the amenities necessary for a very relaxing stay, and Ian was an excellent host. The only downside is that we booked this stay for far too short of a spell!

    Im happy to offer a reference for this house in Venterol where i have spent two happy holidays. One aspect that appeals is it's location in the middle of a beautifull Provence village which is quiet and untouristy. Its ancient and winding streets are a pleasure to explore and there is s sense of calm and tranquility which is very restorative! Also the walks in the immediate enviroment are both stunning and well signed. Inside the house is much period charm and a comfy sitting room with grat dvd's for the evening. I would thoroughly recommend this house to anyone who wants to experience France without the tourists.
