We were looking for a home with a swimming pool within walking distance to town and a short drive to interesting spots nearby. We couldn’t have found anything more perfect. Catherine has a beautifully appointed home that looks exactly as the photos! She made us fell so utterly welcome and had a terrific personalized guide of things to do. Merci a Catherine for everything. We will return again. A bientot.

Great Base for Day Trips
This property was a great home base for discovering the charms of Provence. The cottage is very comfortable and exudes the flavor of Provence both inside and out. Morning expresso in the courtyard was a great way to start the day. The village center was a 10 minute walk, and all of the other villages we visited were within a 45 minute drive. Catherine, our host, made sure we had everything we needed, and we were delighted to meet her and her friends, Stuart and Ruth, who met us upon our arrival. If you are considering a visit to the Luberon/Aix region of Provence, you would do well to stay at Catherine's cottage.

Perfect
Stayed for a week with four generations of my family with ages ranging from 90 to 2 years old. The accommodation was perfect for all age having adaptations for the less mobile and safety features such as safety gates on the stairs and the swimming pool. Salon old town is lovely with lots of restaurants in the picturesque narrow streets. There is a choice of supermarkets, the nearest only 5 minutes drive away. We all wished we had booked a longer stay

History, art and nature beauty
We spent a wonderful week in Salon.
The house was very nice, cosy, clean and provided us with a very charming atmosphere. We had everything we needed. Bedrooms are completely separate and comfortable. The kitchen and the living room allowed us to spend calm and relaxing evenings with a bottle of fine Provence rose. The garden is quiet and perfect for the coffee in the morning.
Catherine was very helpful and kind.
Salon is a very good starting point to explore Provence. One can find the extreme diversity from nature beauties (Fontaine-de-Vaucluse, Les Calanques, the red ochre sands of Roussillon), Roman history (Arl, Nimes, Orange), unforgettable French villages and small towns on the hills with castle ruins (Les Baux-de-Provence, Gordes, Lacoste etc.), art (the home of famous artists and contemporary approach - Carrières de Lumières is a must), tasty food and fine wines.

A Beautiful Property Conveniently situated
My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful week in this delightful house. This is primarily a home and as a consequence enjoys all those extras and comforts that distinguish it from a Gite rental. It is very stylised, beautiful furnished, spotlessly clean and decorated with a charming private courtyard type garden that includes a proportionately sized swimming pool. On the day of our arrival we were warmly greeted by friends of the owner who acted as managers of the house whilst the owner herself was on holiday so sadly we never had the opportunity to meet.
The house is very convenient for walking into Salon-de-Provence and we rarely had need to use the car other than for the initial supermarket shop and the odd trip out to The Carmargue, Arles and the Luberon Mountains which are all within easy travelling distance.
The only blight that prevents me from giving the house a full 5 star rating was the rather intrusive noise from construction works being undertaken to the school building at the end of the long private drive. This was unfortunate and obviously outside of the control of the property owner.
So to conclude - thank you so much Catherine for allowing us to stay in your beautiful house and please extend our gratitude to your friends Stuart and Ruth whose company we so enjoyed.

An ideal house in the heart of Provence
An excellent description of the property! The layout was ideal for our family, which allowed for some privacy -- we much appreciated having washrooms attached to each bedroom. The property was very clean, the kitchen was well equipped and we greatly enjoyed having a space for outdoor cooking (BBQ with a counter and sink). The yard is well designed with a dining area under a beautiful vine, a lounge area under a tree and a sunny pool area (which was used daily!). The bed linens could be improved by having higher quality sheets and having at least one duvet for optional use. The proximity to the village centre was ideal and accessible within a short walk. We were well greeted by the owner despite our tardy arrival and were pleasantly surprised to have a few basics in the fridge (eggs, milk, butter, bread, coffee, wine). Catherine made herself available during our stay and quickly addressed our questions. She took the time to check in with us mid-stay and shared good suggestions for activities in the area. No hesitations in recommending this property to family and friends, which I have already done!

Perfekt um die Provence zu erkunden
Charmantes Haus in naturnaher Umgebung, SdP hat selbst genug zu bieten, ist ebenso guter Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge von Montpellier bis zu den Schluchten bei Marseille. Haus und Aussenbereich ist mit allem ausgestattet, was man zum Wohlfühlen braucht. An die Sicherheitsmassnahmen mussten wir uns etwas gewöhnen. Am Ende aber ein gutes Gefühl. Sehr warmer, persönlicher Empfang und Abschied.

Empfehlenswertes Ferienhaus
Ein perfekter Urlaub für die Ü-70 Generation in der Provence
Hervorzuheben sind:
- das perfekt ausgestattete Haus; das beste, das wir in der Provence bisher gemietet hatten
- die absolute Sauberkeit der Räume, der Geräte und der Sanitärbereiche
- das Ambiente (Außenbereich mit dem Pool)
- die Verwalterin Patricia, die stets für uns ansprechbar war und uns in allen Belangen hilfsbereit zur Verfügung stand
- der sehr nette Nachbar
- die absolute Ruhe
- und nicht zuletzt das Wetter: 14 Tage angenehme Temperaturen und fast immer blauer Himmel
Wir haben uns rundum wohl gefühlt und haben uns sehr gut erholt.

Des vacances parfaites pour la génération de plus de 70 ans en Provence
Il convient de souligner les éléments suivants :
- la maison parfaitement équipée ; le meilleur que nous ayons loué en Provence jusqu'à présent
- la propreté absolue des chambres, des équipements et des sanitaires
- l'ambiance (espace extérieur avec la piscine)
- la gérante Patricia, qui a toujours été disponible pour nous et disponible pour nous aider dans tous les domaines
- le voisin très sympa
- la paix absolue
- et enfin la météo : 14 jours de températures agréables et un ciel presque toujours bleu
Nous nous sommes sentis complètement à l’aise et avons très bien récupéré.

Comfort, privacy, peace
This is a comfortable house, with multiple bedrooms, ideal for a large group. We were just the 2 of us.The house and kitchen are fully equipped, the garden area and small pool are very pleasant and the towncenter is just a short walk. It is very private.The interior is a bit dated, and on the dark side - but that may be our personal view..It is clear it was once a house where the owner/family lived. I have never seen so many comic strips/bandes dessinees, they must be fans! This house seems to be one of a number of original villas, that are now bordered by a newer area with modern, but attractive flats. It sits a bit isolated and you have to pass the property of the neighbours house after opening an automatic driveway gate with a code - which is not a problem. Parking and leaving the lot is a bit tricky, we often parked on the nearby street/square. Overall a very good vacation rental, with responsive and pleasant hosts.

La maison est idéalement située, au cœur d'un îlot de verdure et toute proche (à pied ) du centre ville. Beaucoup de charme dans ce mas spacieux et très bien équipé. Nous avons apprécié la piscine : se baigner chaque matin pour bien débuter la journée est un luxe pour des citadines ! Situation parfaite pour parcourir les alentours, les Alpilles, et même Marseille où il ne faut surtout pas rater les expos du Mucem. En conclusion, de très belles vacances !

Comme attendu
Avis global excellent. La maison correspond exactement à la description.
La propriété est top.
Point de vue extérieur :
- Piscine de bonne taille. Attention pour les petits, elle fait 1,60 m de profondeur partout. Par contre, elle est sécurisée donc pas d'inquiétude.
- Partie salon de jardin spacieuse et ombragée.
- Partie table de repas sous une pergola de verdure très agréable.
- Plancha à disposition.
Point de vue intérieur :
- Maison spacieuse et bien agencée.
- En famille ou entre amis, toute le monde peut avoir son intimité car chaque chambre est équipée de sa salle d'eau et de son wc.
- Climatisation dans chaque chambre.
- Equipement de cuisine ultra complet. Je n'avais, jusqu'à maintenant, jamais trouvé une cuisine aussi bien fournie.
Emplacement :
- Maison isolée des buildings aux alentours. La présence des buildings et des routes proches peut faire peur, mais la maison est suffisamment isolée pour ne pas être gêné par le bruit.
- Le quartier proche est calme
- L'accès est sécurisé par deux portails.
- Le centre historique de Salon est accessible à pied.
- Plusieurs centres commerciaux sont proches.
- De belles villes sont accessibles en une heure de route maximum ( Arles, Nîmes, Les baux de Provence, ...) et la plage est à une demi-heure environ.
Accueil / Contact :
- Nous avons été accueillis par Patricia, qui est d'une extrême gentillesse. Les explications sur l'utilisation de la maison sont claires et complètes. Elle reste également disponible pendant la durée du séjour.
- Contacts par courriels très cordiaux avec la propriétaire qui répond très rapidement.
En résumé, le seul critère pour lequel je ne mets pas cinq étoiles est l'emplacement, car ça fait moins "vacances" lorsqu'on est dans le quartier de la maison. Par contre, une fois passé le portail, on se retrouve dans un petit coin de paradis duquel on n'a même pas envie de bouger :).
Pour tout le reste, je ne vois pas comment ne pas être conquis.
Je recommande pour :
- Les familles ou amis qui cherchent un point central pour des visites dans cette partie de la France.
- Les personnes qui ne veulent pas bouger et recherchent du calme.
