Beautifully restored farmhouse in the rolling green hills of central Provence. Great Provencal food and wine coupled with friendly, efficient staff make this property the perfect place from which to explore the many unique towns and sights of Provence. This property just perfect: beautiful countryside, great pool and tennis area, great staff and terrific food. The house itself was just perfect.
