Amazing villa in Fuveau!
The villa was perfect for our family's stay in Provence! It was well-equipped with everything we needed (towels, kitchen ware, washer/dryer). We did a lot of day trips in the region (Avignon, St Remy, Cassis, Aix, Nice, Eze, Bandol, La Ciotat, etc) and it was lovely to come back to the pool to cool off and make dinner in the house.
Ambi was easy to communicate with - including in simple English. There weren't any instructions in the house, but when we had a question, he was quick to respond.
I highly recommend this villa!

Truly a dream come true in Provence for our family of four from the US and an excellent contrast to the busyness in Paris. The house and property are absolutely beautiful, clean, and well maintained and the owner was super nice and an excellent communicator as well. You get a large private yard, views of the mountains from the rooftop, and there are markets and an excellent bakery within a mile. We enjoyed the proximity to Aix en Provence/TGV and were able to do several day trips by car to towns in the area including lunch and a walk through Fuveau right up the road, and although we didn't go down to the coast it's right there for exploring. We made sure to take some downtime at the house and enjoyed cooking in the nice kitchen/grilling, playing in the pool every afternoon, and watching movies in the evening. Overall staying here was one of the best decisions we made for our trip and I hope we get to come back again.

An amazing stay in Provence
We had a wonderful weekend getaway in this amazing property in Provence. The host's home is everything as advertised: quiet, modern, clean and peaceful. Check-in and check-out was quick and easy. Loved the heated pool which allowed us to swim in the evenings! Great indoor and outdoor spaces all around. There are about 2 grocery stores near the property, and it's a quick drive to Aix-en-Provence or Marseille. Highly recommend staying in this super contemporary villa. Thanks for the great stay!

Nous avons passé un séjour mémorable dans cette superbe villa. L'accueil a été fort sympatique. Nous n'avons manqué de rien tant la maison est bien équipée et surtout elle est super propre. Côté localisation rien à redire, tout ce dont on peut avoir besoin est à portée de main. Et que dire du calme pour pleinement profiter de la piscine. Nous avons adoré et nous reviendrons à coup sûr.

Très bon séjour
Très bon séjour en famille dans une villa confortable, impeccablement propre, bien équipée ( matériel et équipements de cuisine, wifi), avec une grande piscine vraiment appréciée, bien entretenue. De nombreux jolis villages à visiter aux alentours, dont Fuveau, et à 30 min d'Aix et Marseille.
Seul bémol, la terrasse ne possède aucun store et il y fait vite très très chaud.
Bons échanges avec le propriétaire (prêt d'un petit parasol par exemple) et bonne réactivité aux messages.

Überteuert und überbewertet
Pro:
- Direkter Zugang zum Pool
- Sehr umfangreiche Küchenausstattung
- Ruhige Lage Nähe Wald, ideal für Hunde
Contra:
- Keine Sonnenschirme, obwohl in der Beschreibung angegeben. Terrasse konnte daher tagsüber kaum genutzt werden
- Nur ein Handtuch pro Person
- Nur ein Schlüssel
- Leere Gasflasche, die nach Rückfrage ausgetauscht wurde
- Im Obergeschoss nur Badewanne ohne Duschvorhang
- In einem Schlafzimmer funktionierte die Klimaanlage nicht
- Trotz Bedienungsanleitung komplizierter Inbetriebnahme des Fernsehers
- Keine Auflagen für Sonnenliegen
- Spielgeräte im Garten sehr alt
- Concierge konnte ausschließlich französisch, Kommunikation war daher schwierig (in Beschreibung stehen mehrere Sprachen sprechend)
Fazit: Total überteuert. Die anderen Bewertungen sind nicht ganz nachvollziehbar.

Villa et accueil au top!
Nous y avons passé un excellent séjour en famille cet été, la description est tout fait conforme à la réalité. La villa possède tout le confort nécessaire : climatisation (très appréciable en pleine canicule), grande piscine ensoleillée toute la journée , immense terrain ( pour le plus grand bonheur des enfants et du chien) , situation calme et isolée mais commerces à proximité. Maison spacieuse , idéale pour 4 à 6 personnes. A noter la gentillesse et la disponibilité d'Ambroise, toujours disposé à partager ses petites adresses. Que demander de plus?
Les 5 étoiles sont amplement méritées! Nous reviendrons sûrement.
