"Paradise" - this is what Philippe and Rachel call their wonderful place outside of Grans in the heart of the Provence. And they are absolutely right to do so! The apartment adjacent to their own home is well-equipped and perfectly situated to discover this amazing region of France, we really enjoyed our 2-week-stay! All the major places to see (Salon de Provence, Avignon, the Alpilles, Arles, Camargue, Aix-en-Provence, Marseille, Luberon…) are to be reached within a one-hour-drive.
We really found peace and quiet here, as the Santini family is very considerate to give their guests an excellent holiday. With their caring attention and all the lovely animals paying regular visits (including a friendly, but ever-hungry greyhound and some cuddly cats) you really feel like a part of the family. The chickens supplied fresh eggs. The covered outdoor kitchen is the perfect place to spend time outside even when - as it happened to us - Provence weather is a bit changeable and rainy. When it is hot instead, air condition provides a cool climate inside the apartment. And there is a variety of places in the garden to enjoy the sun, including the beautiful pool area which is shared with the family (who will not use it at the same time as their guests). The plancha is grill is easy to use and to clean - no coal needed!
We say thank you to Rachel and Philippes many good advices what to see and where to go. We absolutely reccommend this 'Paradis' and are already considering coming again!
