We just spent 11 days at Sima's home, La Source, in Mayronnes (Sept 2019). I don't often write reviews, but I'm compelled to this time. Sima's home is absolutely stunning. It is, in fact, even more beautiful than it appears on the site. It's extremely private; the views of the surrounding mountains are gorgeous; there are vineyards everywhere; and there are trails all through the area for hiking. The Sculpture Trail is particularly lovely.
The property itself is beautiful. The pool is very large and the decks surrounding it are expansive and well maintained. There are upper and lower decks for sunning, relaxing, having evening meals or just to enjoy the beautiful views. The yard is full of olive and fig trees, rosemary, lavender, and basil.
The house is charming and very French. It's large and well equipped. It's got everything you need for cooking, barbecuing and enjoying the pool. There is a lovely upper level sitting area as well as a downstairs living room with an enormous old fireplace. Lots of room for everyone to do as they wish.
Sima is a wonderful host. She provides excellent (and accurate) recommendations regarding sites to visit (beaches, towns, vineyards) and restaurants to try. She's also extremely responsive to needs and requests. When we arrived the pool was a little cool because they'd had some heavy rain for a few days. Sima sorted the problem immediately. She really is the finest host we've encountered. Thanks again for a lovely time, Sima. We'd go back to La Source in a heartbeat.
