Lovely 3 Month Stay
It was a very special time for us to be in Michele and Mijo’s “La Vista” for our winter rental of nearly 3 months. The house is one of the most attractive we’ve rented during almost 50 years of travel. It has everything in the ways of convenience and need--- roominess, comfortable furnishings, well-stocked kitchen, washing machine, reliable high-speed internet, convenient parking in front of the house. Too, there are delightful hangings and prints on the walls; a wonderful variety of objects on shelves; and a full range of books of literature, maps, and information on the area. In the morning you wake to a view of the small valley below with Mont Sainte-Victoire towering above (a stunning sight that is panoramic from the lovely terrace); and when you return in late afternoon the house is flooded with light and warmth. The family-centered and community-centered village is charming and lively with the village market open for basic needs 7 days a week. The area is a hiker’s delight with many, many trails in the surrounding hills and mountains. Beyond Vauvenargues, the region is richly filled with villages, towns, and varied landscapes. And only 20 minutes away by bus is Cezanne’s Aix with its history, art, architecture, culture, markets, squares, fountains, shops. Added to all of this was the kindness and thoughtfulness of Christine, who cares for the house. Simply put: our entire stay, day after day, was pure pleasure.
