My wife and I have just spent a wonderful week at La Teyssiere, along with five friends. The setting of the house is quite stunning, in the heart of the Luberon valley just a short drive from the pretty hillside town of Bonnieux. The house itself is a beautiful, cared-for property, which feels much more comfortable and homely than other similar rentals. It has stylish decor, spacious bedrooms and bathrooms, modern and plentiful appliances, and, most importantly for us, ample entertaining space. These include a huge living room leading out onto a great terrace, and a lovely dining room attached to a well laid out kitchen. The house is incredibly welcoming; it has a relaxed layout and feel, and its features combine a charming sense of old and new.

With it being mid-May, we were extremely lucky with the weather (or perhaps it is always like this!) - gorgeously sunny and warm all week, with only one cloudy day. Days were spent lounging on the fantastic terrace by the pool (going for the occasional quite nippy but refreshing dip!), evenings around the dining room table or out on the terrace with home cooked local produce washed down with plenty of vin rouge.

The area is very peaceful, with some short local walks leading to panoramic views across the valley, and delightfully still evenings. However there are also plenty of small towns to explore and visit local markets, or head to for an evening demi-pression or dinner. As the closest, Bonnieux is sweet and picturesque, with several bars, restaurants and amenities. Others nearby are Apt, Loumarine and Goult, which are all worth a look.

Overall, we had a fabulous holiday at La Teyssiere, I'm so glad we chose it. In fact we enjoyed it so much that we've already enquired about availability next year!
