Accommodation: A house on the wall of Venasque Friendly blue shutters are the hallmark of the Maret family home, which is "enthroned" on the city wall of Venasque and is visible for kilometres around. When the artist and chef acquired the estate, which dates back to the eleventh century, it was in ruins. It is now one of the best guesthouses in the region. Guests are enthralled by the magnificent view of the Rhone Valley. Venasque, the only castle which the Pope of Avignon could escape to, is the ideal location for exploring northern Provence. Excursions can also be taken to Avignon and the ancient cities of the Rhone plains or to the mountainous region in the east. Mont Ventoux, for example, is the highest massif in Provence, while the Luberon Massif is known for its beautiful landscapes, agricultural richness and picturesque towns and villages. |

Accommodation: a villa over Vence La Colline de Vence, a 200-year-old villa tucked in the hills above Vence, is an absolute jewel. You will be instantly captivated by its superb setting, stunning views, pretty bedrooms, lovely swimming pool, and, most of all, by your charming young hostess, Kristin. Kristin was born in East Berlin, moving to Burgundy after she married her French husband, Frdric. They both dreamed of living near Vence and opening a bed and breakfast, so they bought an exceptionally large villa with enormous potential to use both as their own home and as a place to welcome guests. Each of the three bedrooms has its own private entrance opening off a sunny, flagstone terrace. The rooms are not especially large, but quite big enough, and each has a large window with a splendid view of the sea and mountains. They are tastefully decorated in a fresh, sweet, uncluttered style. Each is similar in decor, except for the color scheme: Amandiers is green, Orangers is a Provenal yellow, and Mimosas is a pastel lemon. Two junior suites have also been completed, Bougainvilliers in handsome reds and yellows and Oliviers in a decor of soft cream and brown. The pool is gorgeous with a beautiful setting?on a lovely terrace with a breathtaking view over the picturesque landscape of Provence. |
