When you book with Only Provence, you are in safe hands. Should unforeseen circumstances happen that impact your travel and booking, we'll work closely with you and the property owner to come to a solution. If you are traveling during the peak summer season, and wish to have the option to reschedule to comparable dates in 2023 due to Covid-19 restrictions, please inquire with us to include this addendum into your rental agreement.
You can view our booking Terms and Conditions and also see our FAQs for more information.
We’re here to help make your Provence holiday a reality, so contact us should you have any questions.
The main house offers a large formal living room and a dining room for 12, as well as a smaller TV room with satellite dish. The kitchen has just been redecorated, and is truly the heart of the house. Equipped with top-of-the-line appliances, a large pantry, and all the necessary cookware, from family heirlooms to modern pots and pans, it is truly fit for the gourmet cook.
Our Guests will feel at ease thanks to the imported measurement tools, cookbooks, washer/dryer and ice-water dispenser fridge... You may choose to have breakfast on the back patio, have a quick lunch in the cool of the kitchen, enjoy an evening drink in the outside living room and dine outside on the large teak table by the BBQ, looking out to the pool.
With AC in all the bedrooms, very comfortable beds, lots of towels and all paper and cleaning supplies, kitchen staples, hairdryers, high-speed internet access, Satellite TV with CNN and other English-speaking (as well as German, Spanish, Italian...) channels, a separate clothes dryer, a BBQ grill, a heated pool suitable for laps, a pétanque game area, a huge and very private garden with panoramic views of the Apt valley, Laise en Provençe is a vacation dream come true.
You may decide to spend an active day, discovering one of the numerous villages perching on the hills, visiting the splendid Abbaye of Sénanque in its nest of lavender, shopping at the local markets or at the nearby farm for the bountiful produce of the region, or you may decide to do nothing and stay at the house all day, resting in the shade, listening to the humming "Cigales", or going for a walk in the adjacent forest and cooling off in the pool.
The pool is heated, and once you have enjoyed a midnight bath in the starry night, watching the twinkling lights in the valley as you swim, you will truly feel in paradise.

Q. What else could we provide to improve your stay?
R. Not one thing. Perfect.
Q. Is there anything that needs to be replaced or updated?
R. Nothing to replace but steps on main level of villa are hard to see because stone floors are uniform from level to level. It’s dangerous. If there could be some way to make sets more obvious, that would be a wonderful addition! Also, wireless on second floor is very weak.
Q. Did you book any chef or tour services? If so, what was your experience?
R. Yes

Q. What is one thing we could do to improve your experience with Only Provence in the future?

Located in the heart of the Luberon in a natural setting. Laise en Provence is the perfect location to discover the Luberon villages and the surrounding countryside-just a stone's throw from Bonnieux, Gordes, Roussillon and many other lovely hill-top villages.
Getting here:
The easiest way to get to Inland Provence from the US is to fly to Marseilles International Airport (MRS). If you would like to see Paris, fly to Charles de Gaulle Airport then connect directly to the TGV(high speed train) from CDG TGV2 to Avignon TGV(3 hours direct) and rent a car. You would plan to see Paris on the way back, taking the TGV from Avignon TGV to Gare de Lyon, getting a cab to your hotel in the city.

Making your reservation: These properties are reserved on a first-come, first-serve basis. However, before you reserve, you are required to review and sign a rental agreement for the villa (the “Rental Agreement”). We will send you the Rental Agreement by email. The Rental Agreement explains in detail all of terms and conditions regarding rental and use of the property in detail. We shall have no obligation to accept any reservations, unless the Rental Agreement is fully executed.
Payment: After you have signed the Rental Agreement and filled out the appropriate information, as approved by us, a nonrefundable payment of the one-half (50%) of the Rental Fee (which price is defined in your Rental Agreement) must be received by us within seven (7) days to confirm the reservation. The remaining one-half (50%) of the Rental Fee is due 60 days before the arrival date, and is also non-refundable. If reservations are made less than 60 days prior to the arrival date, then 100% of the Rental Fee must be paid upon the signing of the Rental Agreement. Please know that a failure to pay any portion of the Rental Fee as set forth above and in Rental Agreement can result in loss of the reservation of the villa and a termination of the Rental Agreement. We will confirm receipt of each payment and note any outstanding balance and due date(s).
Cancellation: We have a no refund cancellation policy, but usually succeed in rescheduling cancelled reservations to the Spring or Fall or re-booking the cancelled period to another group and refunding the party that cancelled. Failure to pay the final balance (which is due 60 days before arrival) or provide required information for the security deposit may be deemed a cancellation with no refund due. Clients are advised to consider Trip Cancellation Insurance with the carrier of their choice at the time of confirmation.
