Beautiful grounds and French bastide
Smuk grund og fransk bastid
We were very pleased to revisit this traditional french house with friends and our grandchildren after postponement due to covid. We believe we were the first group in so a few hitches with pool alarm and losing power during a storm. Help from the family and particularly Simon, with local knowledge, sorted these things out. This house is so charming and housed us so well, it is very spacious. The kitchen has everything you need (although some more cups would have been nice) and we cooked in quite a lot as we were such a large group. For me the highlight is the gardens, if only you could bottle the beautiful aromas that you smell as you open the shutters in the morning, jasmine, honeysuckle and mature trees, olive and lombardy poplar or cypress? providing shade and perfume. Fabulous pool, well looked after by the pool lady who visited on Tuesday. Lots of tables to chose from outside for your morning coffee. We walked into St Didier easily and some of us walked up to Venasque, its a bit of a hike up, but we had a lovely lunch in one of the village restaurants afterwards overlooking the stunning view across to the hills.
Vi var meget glade for at genbesøge dette traditionelle franske hus med venner og vores børnebørn efter udsættelse på grund af covid. Vi tror, vi var den første gruppe, så der opstod et par problemer med poolalarmen og strømsvigt under en storm. Hjælp fra familien og især Simon med lokalkendskab ordnede disse ting. Dette hus er så charmerende og husede os så godt, det er meget rummeligt. Køkkenet har alt, hvad du har brug for (selvom nogle flere kopper ville have været rart), og vi lavede mad en hel del, da vi var så stor en gruppe. For mig er højdepunktet haven, hvis man bare kunne aftappe de smukke aromaer, som man lugter, når man åbner skodderne om morgenen, jasmin, kaprifolium og modne træer, oliven og lombardisk poppel eller cypres? der giver skygge og parfume. Fabelagtig pool, godt passet af pooldamen, der besøgte stedet om tirsdagen. Masser af borde at vælge imellem udenfor til din morgenkaffe. Didier, og nogle af os gik op til Venasque, det er lidt af en vandretur, men vi spiste en dejlig frokost i en af landsbyens restauranter bagefter med udsigt over den fantastiske udsigt over bakkerne.
