The Gilded Rose

You'll be smitten as soon as you see this home's garden. Blossoming with French flora, boasting a private pool and showcasing views of the rolling hills, it's a lovely spot to while away dappled afternoons. Inside is a bit more modern – albeit a little less exciting – but families will have a decent amount of space to spread out and relax. There's a trundle bed in the third bedroom, which we think is best suited to little ones, while the separate study in the mezzanine is ideal for business travellers. On your doorstep is Saint-Saturnin-Lès-Apt, a typical Provençal village with buckets of character. Villars and Apt are further afield.

Home truths:
*Your host can provide a cot if you're travelling with little ones. There's also a single bed with a single trundle in the third bedroom that's best suited to children.
*Dogs are welcome on request. Please ask your host if you're planning to travel with pets.
*Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. One mountain bike is provided if you'd like to explore the immediate area.
*We think some areas of this home could do with a refresh. In particular, the bathrooms and kitchen are a little dated.
