Luxury rentals in Bouches-du-Rhone

We have just completed a seven night stay at La Bergerie d'Aix en Provence. A great experience with room for some upside improvements as well. Our contact during the stay was Raphaelle - who was great throughout. We actually arrived early and she was welcoming and accommodating. She showed us the whole house and provided contact details and remained in regular contact with us on a What's App thread. Definitely a highlight of the stay - professional and friendly and very responsive even when she was off duty. The house is actually two houses - the main one and a more modern guest house. All was clean and well maintained throughout. A variety of bedrooms of different standards and sizes and all were available to our relatively small group. Another highlight was the pool - it is large, clean, well heated and with a fully opertional cover - all of which worked smoothly. Plenty of outdoor dining options, two grills, a ping pong table and all in full working order. We used the main kitchen throughout with two dishwashers and plenty of matching and modern flatware and pans etc. We cooked dinner several times. There would be no space problem accommodating a large family group. The house and grounds were comfortable and spacious. It's clear that this is a continuing project for the owners. A lot more potential exists as the property, exterior walkways, pool area and further guest houses / games room are developed. We also found the french speaking cleaner / maid to be lovely. She showed up more times than we expected and managed towel rotation and cleaning throughout the week. We are tidy and used the dishwashers extensively etc and she complimented that and us really well - despite the language barrier. Location is good. A one mile walk to Saint Cannat which has markets, bakery, butcher and others stores and an outdoor market. We had fun sourcing food daily with the friendly local community. What could be improved ? Our collective main feedback is that the main kitchen gas oven and range do not match the quality or reliability of the rest of the house. Very hard to light / set and operate. There is a newer electric oven in the guest house but that is some distance away. If you plan to cook, that's the main watch item. We had few issues in the week. Gas replacement on BBQ grill and a tripped AC system. All was dealt with smoothly and quickly and without fuss. We appreciated that. Thank you to the owners, Raphaelle and the whole crew for a great week in the quiet countryside of Provence.

Lovely house with lots of space for family. We had a lovely time with lots of options for indoor and outdoor activities/eating/playing. Catharina helped with all the Airbnb restaurant bookings as our luxe booker disappeared but she made sure to step in and everything was setup well and she was very proactive in meeting all of our needs. Thanks for a great stay!

This villa is incredible beautiful, in a peaceful and quiet perch overlooking the Luberon valley. The village is a 2 minute uphill walk to a great boulangerie, restaurants and a small supermarket. There is a small parking lot close to the villa, where you can park. I recommend a compact car for getting access to it. The photos look just like the villa. It was hot while we were there so we really enjoyed the pool and the privacy of the spot. Nice linens and good beds. I highly recommend.

A very pleasant stay and beautiful surroundings. The house is well equipped with all comfort and material. Definitely worth visiting.
