De omgeving, het prachtige uitzicht op de Mont Ventoux, het fantastische zwembad.
Eigenlijk niets. Misschien zou een BBQ wel leuk zijn zodat je kan bbq-en tijdens je verblijf.
Perfecte locatie voor uitstapjes. Mooi uitzicht. Rust. Zwembad.
The view was incredible and was quite private and it was reasonable price
Enjoyed everything
Sehr persönlich und individuell, inmitten eines wunderbaren Gartens mit Blick auf die Berge. Absolute Privatsphäre, super gelegen und sehr nette Gastgeber! Der Pool war außergewöhnlich schön!
Heel vriendelijk ontvangst

View is good, but not worth $225 per night.
On arrival, had to search for property, found sign next to road after asking neighbours. Had to hike up 50m path overgrown with grass and weeds, slippery steps and dodgy railings. Walking up 3 trips with baggage through all the junk lying around, boats, chairs, tables, spas. Other junk hidden behind see-through tarps underneath tiny houses. Wet and dirty chairs outside, no table. Tiny house was neat, no place to put your bags or clothes. No coffee machine. Not enough toilet paper to make the next morning. Left after 1 night, as accomodation was not as advertised on Bookings App. Tried to get refund for 1 nights stay, but owner hiding behind small print, T&C’s and supposed bell-hop service. You rather need a sherpa to get all your stuff up there.
emplacement , calme et cozy, vue sur le Ventoux exceptionnelle . Accueil /consignes ,disponibles et très arrangeant : un grand merci à Mr B pour ce we sportif du "France de trail " avec cerise sur le gâteau : piscine à disposition pour les gambettes de nos coureurs bretons 👌. je recommande +++
Host was very helpful and friendly.
We didn't like the access to the property, it was very steep and uneven not suitable for elderly people.
stayed new years eve. Complimentary bottle of wine & fairy lights out the back door were a nice touch. The tiny pod itself is nicely fitted out with ensuite & kitchenette. Welcome teas, coffee & milk. Great shower. We didn't use them but it was good to see a heater & fan. The sea view is amazing but limited as we were warned not to go on the deck as unsafe. A great beach is nearby - not quite beachfront or private as advertised however. Glad to wake up to dry weather & thankful we successfully navigated the track safely multiple times. Luckily we're still pretty mobile & resourceful although both in our 60's! Felt it was unfair not to mention the challenging access for those older or with less mobility - we would have been happier if forewarned that the property is a work in progress. There were no reviews when we stayed so we only had listing details to go by - we would be cautious of that in future.
It was wet when we arrived & with no number marking we eventually found it by a process of elimination after checking each house in the street. Interesting climb to the unit up the track which had been recently cut through the long grass - uneven & very slippery, difficult even with only a bag of essentials. No shelter over the entry door, rain running freely through the sun sail. A door mat or extra towels would be useful. Although we laughed about it later It felt like a bad joke at the time. Listing information was misleading stating "private apartment in a building" " Free onsite parking convenient for all guests!!" The room size said 30sqm but the pod only measures 8 feet x 24 feet which is actually only 17-18sqm. For those reasons it felt like a bit of a con for $200 but we slept well enough.
accueil emplacement tt est parfait
.
The view was spectacular but was limited due to the deck being not useable.
Parking was limited due to excessive stored obstacles eg. boat and trailer, mowers and excessive rubbish. The track to the accommodation was overgrown with weeds and equipment, with exposed power cables, slippery pathway and uneven steps. It was uninviting to get to the door of the accommodation to find excessive stored equipment underneath the accommodation and neighbouring property. We could also see exposed sewerage system and piping, torn overhead shade covered, gas bottles on the wall not secured and two old rusty chairs and a table. Unfortunately as mentioned above the decking was not available due to only having planks laid down fixed by strops. We do questions whether this property is consented? We were surprised to find no soaps in the bathroom, hair dryer, mirror and some areas of dust.
風景優美
太冷沒有暖氣
Beautiful, cosy, very private place with a stunning view. All in all a little querky and very nice.
Nothing to complain about. The ascent to the accomodation is a little adventure. The way through the garden is quite steep. A secure step, good shoes (when raining) and light lugagge recommended
The view & the location were amazing. The tiny house fit out was good.
No signage - took us ages to find it & had to ask a neighbour. No house number or name. The drive was rough, best suited to an AWD. Long, steep walk up to the tiny house on an unfinished, rough path that would be slippery in parts after rain. We hike so were ok, but would be difficult for some, especially when carrying bags. Property was a bit ramshackle from the outside, felt unfinished & a bit rough round the edges.
De gastvrijheid was uitstekend, vriendelijk, behulpzaam en voornaam. Gastheer nam altijd direct de telefoon op als ik hem contacteerde. Hij gunde ons ook de rust, geen bemoeial of niet te curieus.
Het weer de ;aatste week.
Locatie was top !
Inside was great, Veiw was spectacular
not clearly numbered along with a permanent resident neighbour’s assistance took quite some time to figure out the place we’d booked and The Exterior/outdoors was extremely untidy & didn’t look like it would be a rental accommodation property, more like it should have been on the tv show horders
Fabulous view of the sea and very reasonable price
No blind on the rear door so lights outside the rear door reflected into the room, they were dim , so not a big issue, but a blind on ear door would be a plus
The view was amazing
No heating
Sehr freundliche und rücksichtsvolle Gastgeber. Schönes Haus und toller Pool, den man quasi für sich hat. Sorgsam und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Geschützter, geräumiger Parkplatz.
Das Haus liegt ruhig und daher etwas abgelegen. Auto oder Fahrrad für Einkäufe und den täglichen Gang zum Bäcker sind unabdingbar.
Fabulous pool and surrounding garden/views
We loved the privacy. There’s a private garden at the back of house with a hidden path that led to the owners’ shared pool. The pool is kept beautifully clean, and the gardens are very well maintained with care and attention to wildlife and the environment. We had a lovely welcome, and our hosts were available if needed, very discreet and always had lots of advice and information. We loved the house, it’s in a perfect place to view the amazing sunrises over Mont Ventoux. The local village Caromb has everything you need including an excellent boulangerie/cafe, supermarket and pharmacy (who were extremely helpful). The house is has a separate private entrance, off road parking, a lovely sitting room/kitchenette with an patio looking on to Mount Ventoux. Simply spectacular. The gardens are wonderful. There’s so much to see in and around Caromb. Bernard our host had lots of good suggestions. We can’t wait to go back.
Nothing to say here!
Beautiful place to stay. In a great location with amazing views of Mont Ventoux. Friendly helpful owners and great facilities. A beautiful shaded terrace with good garden furniture and a well stocked kitchen area. Wifi was excellent. Beautiful gardens with home produce leading to a wonderful pool area. Was well designed for privacy and very peaceful.
