'Terrific kitchen with all the equipment you could dream of - beautiful garden with lots of different places to sit and look and read and drink and eat.'
'We have just spent 2 wonderful weeks at 'Les Hauts Saints' in Provence with our family. The house and gardens were beautiful, and the pool spectacular. The weather, too, was perfect: 30 C every day for two weeks. Maggi (the cleaner) and Daniel (the caretaker) were both delightful, and only too willing to help in every way. Thanks again.'
