The place offers the bare minimum. A €10 kettle, hot water that runs out, 4 sun loungers, the 5th was broken (please see below Re dishonesty of the owner), a property crammed into an end of garden plot.
The owner hassled to check in early as this keeps her cleaning cost down. It was plain that the cleaner was completely adverse to the stated VRBO check in.
Despite the property being advertised as a 4pm check in, I was repeatedly called by Brigitte the absent owner, asking if we could get there in 30 mins from Avignon, from around 11am onwards. I was with my 5 year old daughter and had to pick up a car and had planned all of this because it was the stated check in time, ie my itinerary was focused around a 4pm check in, because this is what BRIGITTE (the absent owner) wants. I was then met by a charming and helpful woman called Flo, a local who could not have been more helpful.
The place is ordinary, it’s a ‘cut and shut’ built with minimal respect for the aesthetic of the environment. There are other properties crammed along side it. For example on looking out to the pool, the pool is lined by a hedge probably 3ft from its edge. Immediately on the other side of the property is another property. The area is overwhelmed with building work.
The inside of the property is fine, but ultra basic. A €10 kettle, cheap crockery, two small ikea looking sofas, a cheap coffee machine. It has the feeling of a place where profit margins are measured to ‘perfection’.
The water system does not provide for 4 people to shower. It was always cold by the 4th shower.
We waited patiently for 5 days for the pool geothermal pump to be activated. Having arrived on Saturday, it was finally activated on Wednesday. So 2 full days of pool before we had to leave.
I can and am more than happy to provide WhatsApp correspondence with the (absent) owner showing this to be true should anyone question the accuracy of this assertion.
It was very annoying corresponding over 3 days until our host finally sent her ‘pool guy’ round as she referred to him.
It’s annoying that the house has 4 working sun loungers (a house for 6 people) and one broken one, but even more annoying when our host (who was not in the country) contacted me and complained of a broken chair AFTER our departure. We had been in the house with the cleaner and the owners son in law and perhaps unsurprisingly it was never raised.
