<h1>Paradis en Provence</h1><br />
Should you be searching for the perfect vacation rental property in Provence, France, peruse over the following pages and see how we can make a family holiday such a memorable experience. Not an agent, we own and maintain two fabulous houses. An 18c restored farm-house near Aix en Provence and a stunning hilltop villa in the Luberon, both with large swimming pools and everything you want and need for the restful holiday you dream about.
<p>Time and again locals refer to our houses as "petit paradis" - it seemed like a good name! We are not agents, we own just two wonderful properties in fabulous locations here in Provence. Most importantly they are homes with their own unique character. Having spent many years renting houses in this stunning area, we thought we could do it a lot better. Have you ever been seduced by a glossy brochure? Then to discover a house devoid of character, threadbare towels, lumpy mattresses and a bare kitchen then you'll know what we are talking about. We love cooking (and eating!) therefore both kitchens are fully equipped.
<p>Detail is everything. Crisp white linen, fluffy towels, fresh flowers and the pre-requisite, chilled rosé, await you. Our guardian couple, fluent in English, French and German, will cater to your individual needs. They will welcome you upon your arrival and immediately familiarise you with the house and its surroundings.
<p><h2>Tranquillity and Privacy</h2><br />
Some of our guests love the tranquillity and privacy of the houses and prefer simply to be left alone - no problem. Whatever your requirements may be, we will endeavour to make your holiday as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. On this note, our guardian couple offer an absolutely trustworthy and reliable babysitting/childcare service.
<p>Both our guardians are professionally trained in the hospitality field. Their services can range from personally picking you up from the airport to a chauffeured wine tour around Chateauneuf du Pape - in fact just about anything. Importantly, they can provide you with any kind of catering you require. Be it a gastronomic dinner for you and your guests or a rustic "grillade" BBQ on the terrace, it\'s up to you.
<p>Our motivation is that we get a kick out of seeing people having a great time.
<p><h3>The Area of Aix en Provence</h3><br />
<em>Leisure Activities</em> - Walking/cycling/mountain biking - both houses are situated in open countryside and one can literally walk or cycle from the front door.
<p><em>Tourism</em> - Most guests don't tend to venture too far from the houses however there\'s a wealth of places to visit in the area if you feel so inclined.
<p><em>Shopping/Markets</em> - For fabulous fresh produce, we strongly recommend you do as the locals do and make the most of the daily markets - les "marches paysans".
