Commonly asked questions about the Villa

 

Is there a washing machine?  Yes, we even provide laundry soap for you.

​

What about coffee in the morning?  We will have the coffee going when you get up for the day,  as well as tea.  We also provide breakfast which consists of fresh pastries, baguette from the bakery daily, jam & butter, yogurt, cereal, milk and juice.  Hard boiled eggs and anything you request are possible.

 

Are there restaurants in town?   In Provence, there are restaurants in the nearby villages of Lacoste and Bonnieux.  If a meal is not provided, we drive the group to one of these villages to enjoy the local cuisine.  In Mallorca, we are in a village and there are several restaurants to visit.  In New Mexico we are on a ranch near the town of Abiquiu, so will provide a ride to nearby restaurants when meals are not included.

Are there stairs in the house?  Yes there are stairs in the house and some of the bedrooms are located on the second floor, in both Provence & Mallorca. There are also cobblestone streets and uneven terrain in the fields so steady footing is important.

 

Is there Wifi?  Yes the wifi works throughout most of the house.  

 

Is there a T.V.?  Yes we have a television in the living room for your use.

 

Is the pool heated?  No the pool is not heated.  Depending on your tastes, we have had guests swim at both locations.

 

Are sheets and towels provided?  Yes all linens (including pool towels) are provided.

 

Is the water safe to drink?  It is safe to drink the tap water in Provence and New Mexico.  In Mallorca, bottled water is prefered and provided.  It’s nice to take a water bottle with you for the day however, as water fountains for drinking are not too common.

 

What if I don’t want to go somewhere every day?  That is perfectly fine.  All excursions are optional.  If you’d prefer to lounge by the pool or enjoy a novel, painting or just hanging out “at home”  you are perfectly free to do that.
