Mary says: "A beautifully appointed private apartment with good indoor and outdoor spaces, including garden seating and a balcony with a view of the village chateau through an ancient black locust tree. Good location at the foot of the village of Ansouis, which is a 15-minute uphill walk and has a small but good supermarket. An excellent base for for touring some of the prettiest villages of Provence. Charming and interesting hosts."
