Every time before going on holiday, I surf the web for hours and hours to search for the best holiday home I can find (size, design, location etc), within my budget. How lucky I was to have found this utterly beautiful house, Ferme St. Roch, for my family vacation in Provence, which was beyond expectations and perfect for us in so many ways.
Starting with the fact that this is an authentic 18th century house (hey, how many times in life you get to spend in such a beautifully restored antique mansion…?), and continuing with the lovely interiors: every room are beautifully designed and tastefully decorated, creating a house with a lovely personal Atmosphere.
The house is full of Art on the walls, Tons of Books and many Decorative Ornaments. I'm glad I don't fully understand French, as if my French was better, I would have needed a year or two to finish reading all the books that seemed interesting to me. Instead, I just enjoyed looking at the pictures of some Interior Design & Architecture books I have found.
Adding to the interior beauty are the magnificent exteriors: A very well-kept garden with a charming inner court yard. There is also a pool and BBQ area and many more pampering facilities (reading room, table tennis, garden dining area etc). Besides beauty, Bedrooms and Public areas of House and Garden are Comfortable and Spacious. Needless to say that everything is very well maintained.
Last but not least is Mr Jary, the owner of the house, whose service
is beyond words. His warm hospitality started much before our trip
had actually began and was very helpful in answering my questions
and advising many traveling tips by email. As traveling date came closer,
he sent welcoming emails. During our stay he kept in contact & was attentive to all of our needs full heartedly.
We were 2 families staying for one week at Ferme St. Roch. My tip for
anyone wanting to stay there is to book your stay for more than a week! I
think staying a longer period of time can give a better balance between
traveling around and home lounging. For us, one week was a bit too short.
House is located in Robion, a cute and small village in the Luberon Region. Besides great proximity to many of the Luberon Villages, this house is also a good opportunity to live like-a-local, as many shops are within walking distance.
