Studio for max. 6 persons
Saumane-de-Vaucluse, Provence, (Côtes du Rhône), France

“This villa is quoted as being suitable for up to 6 people, but in fact it was really only suitable for 3 people (one of whom on a sofa bed). We are a family of 4, including 2 teenagers who were happy to share a twin room. However, the twin room, with a pull-out bed, was too narrow to comfortably accommodate both beds. As result one had to sleep in the lounge, meaning there was limited privacy and restricted use of the lounge for the others.

We knew in advance there was no air conditioning, but we were very surprised that there were no fans. However, we did receive two fans after a couple of days of constant asking, and we ended up buying another one so that each room had one. They told us they had 150 properties, but only about 50 fans, which is completely inadequate in hot weather.

It was good that they had a dishwasher and sufficient crockery and cutlery and it was good to have the outside patio. The toilet was separate from the bathroom, but there was no separate hand basin in the toilet (which is really unacceptable these days).

The swimming pool area was lovely, but there were insufficient loungers for the number of people using the pool, meaning that on occasion we had to sit on a wall. There were no sun umbrellas at all, which would have offered some protection from the sun.

The restaurant and bar were very good quality with pleasant outlooks. The staff were attentive and helpful. However, it was very expensive and, as a result, we only ate there once.

Overall, we enjoyed our holiday as we did interesting things in the area, but the resort was disappointing due to the details mentioned above. It wasn't cheap (over £1300 for the week) so we feel it was rather poor value for money. We wouldn't go back and wouldn't really recommend it. Having said that, perhaps a family interested in playing golf and tennis would find it more acceptable.” “This villa is quoted as being suitable for up to 6 people, but in fact it was really only suitable for 3 people (one of whom on a sofa bed).
