About this property

Pretty 4 star, 2 bedroom gite stunning views

Our gite, part of an 18th century Provençal mas, has its own separate entrance and has been renovated to a high standard in the Provencal style. Recently awarded 4 stars by the Pays D'Apt Office de Tourisme, the accommodation comprises 2 bedrooms each with its own private bath/shower room. The large light and airy lounge/dining room with a fully equipped kitchen has high ceilings and exposed beams with stunning views of the perched villages of Bonnieux and Lacoste. The private heated pool and walled garden, complete with built in BBQ, and recently built summer kitchen, fully equipped with it's own fridge freezer, are for the exclusive use of our gite guests. In the nearby villages, experience typical Provençal cuisine in one of the many restaurants or visit one of the weekly markets for your local produce and return home to prepare lunch or dinner; the evening can be finished by relaxing with your favourite tipple in beautiful Provencal surroundings.

The double bedroom opens onto a roof terrace of approximately 6M2 with views over the vineyards and to the North, Mont Ventoux; perfect for that first cup of coffee or evening cocktail! The walled garden has exterior garden furniture for outdoor dining or relaxing. The south facing heated pool and terrace area is complete with sun loungers & table and chairs for the private use of the gite. There are a selection of outdoor games available.

Well equipped and charming apartment

We enjoyed a wunderfull and restful stay in a charming and well equipped apartment. A nicely cared garden and pool site allows to enjoy privacy. The convenient position of the apartment allows to explore the beautiful landscape of the Luberon area. Thank you Sue and Norman for making our stay with La Marechale so perfect.

Glorious gite in beautiful Bonnieux

The gite delivers a perfect Provencal experience in the Luberon area. With pretty views to Bonnieux and dramatic vistas to the nearby Lacoste every window tells a story. Well equipped a fabulous pool, lush gardens, and a wonderful pair of hosts in Norman and Sue, we would happily return to relax, recuperate and revive. Recommend for anyone looking to disconnect from urban life.

Idyllic location and perfect hosts

We’re just back from a 2 week stay in this gorgeous gîte, and if you are thinking of booking it, don’t hesitate as you won’t be disappointed. The gîte itself is beautifully presented, sparkling clean and well equipped - the kitchen knives actually cut which we’ve found a rarity in self catering properties. In addition there is a summer kitchen, located in the shady garden area near the pool, perfect for storing food for the barbecue and cooling drinks. The pool is a decent size, and kept clean. Sue and Norman are perfect hosts, really helpful and friendly and they went out of their way to make the Big Birthday I celebrated there extra special.

Lovely relaxing stay

A fantastic place to spend time in the Provence. The gite has lovely views all around and the outdoor spaces provide different places to sit and unwind. The exclusive use of the pool is a real treat and offers shade at all times of the day and is great to relax after the heat of the day. The outdoor kitchen is a real bonus! The gite is well placed to visit all that the Provence offers. Sue and Norman are great hosts and we will definitely try and return for another holiday. Just loved it!

Schönes Ambiente

Die Wohnung liegt im ersten Stock und ist großzügig, hell und gut eingerichtet. Man hat einen wunderbaren Blick auf Bonnieux und Lacoste. Garten und Pool hat man für sich alleine. Die Vermieter sind sehr freundlich, hilfsbereit und diskret. Das gesamte Ambiente ist schön und liebevoll arrangiert. Leider führt direkt an Haus und Garten eine Straße vorbei, die während unseres Aufenthaltes Umleitungsstrecke und entsprechend stark befahren war. Wenn, wie der Vermieter sagt, die Straße normalerweise wenig befahren ist, kann man das Objekt sehr empfehlen.

Gite très agréable avec de charmants hôtes

Le gîte était à la fois très bien équipé et très agréable. Il convient parfaitement pour une famille de 4. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié l'accueil de Norman et Sue le soir de notre arrivée. Ils ont su nous faire très rapidement oublier le très long trajet très embouteillé en ce 1er week-end d'août. Il y a énormément de choses à faire dans la région, 1 semaine ne nous a pas suffi. Nous aurons plaisir à revenir.

Wunderbarer Ort

Wir wurden herzlich empfangen von unseren Gastgebern Norman and Sue. Sie bieten Ihren Gästen einen wunderbaren Ort. Wohnung, Garten und Pool sind genau wie im Inserat beschrieben und es ist ein wunderbarer Ort für entspannte Ferien. Sei es einfach Relaxen am schönen Pool oder im Garten oder auch Ausflüge in die Umgebung. Die Wohnung hat eine tolle Lage. Besonders zu erwähnen ist, dass Garten und Pool eben exklusiv den Gästen der Wohnung zur Verfügung stehen. Das ist gerade in der Corona Zeit uns wichtig gewesen. Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Urlaubswoche im Luberon. Wir haben im Luberon schon einige Unterkünfte im Laufe der Jahre kennengelernt. Diese ist mit Abstand die beste und wir freuen uns schon heute auf unseren nächsten Aufenthalt. Dear Norman and Sue, many thanks for the great time we could spent at your lovely place. We hope to return soon!

Gite charmant au cœur du Luberon

Ce gite est très confortable. Il bénéficie d’une piscine privative et d’un petit jardin permettant de déjeuner à l’ombre. À proximité des villages de Bonnieux, Goult et Lacoste et du véloroute. Accueil charmant des propriétaires. Je recommande vivement.

Un coin de jardin paradisiaque et des hôtes charmants !

Appartement très bien équipé, très fonctionnel (avec la clim pour les grosses chaleurs et un lecteur de DVD). Un coin de jardin à la végétation luxuriante, dommage que la route soit si près mais peu de voitures passent et le chant des cigales couvre bien le bruit permettant les siestes ! Les hôtes sont particulièrement charmants, à l'écoute et pleins de petites attentions. La piscine, enfin, est parfaite, à l'abri des regards, propre et il y a beaucoup d'ameublement autour. La localisation est très centrale pour visiter le Lubéron, dommage qu'il faille prendre la voiture pour aller acheter du pain.
