This house is a real gem. Although a little difficult to find, once there it is a dream rental. The house is much bigger than expected, luxurious yet comfortable, and has all the conveniences you could want. If I could give this one more than 5 stars I would. Richard met us and spent a lot of time making sure we knew how to operate everything in the house. He was extremely friendly and let us know he was a quick phone call away if we had any questions or needs. Between lazy mornings enjoying the calmness of Provence, watching the kids swim, large group gatherings for dinner in the barn, evening drinks under the stars, and bike rides to the bakery we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The town of Maussen-Les-Alpilles in small and very charming with a nice plaza area filled with restaurants. We used the house as a home base for day trips to St. Remy, Les Beaux, Pont Du Gard, Uzes, Arles, Orange and Salon De Provence. I found the location to be ideal.
