Stylish & comfortable apartment a delight
We spent three wonderful summer weeks in this stylish apartment. It is perfectly located overlooking the market square - close to day-to-day village life, but away from the touristy cafe precinct. And, the underground car park and lift are a rare bonus.
The apartment is even lovelier than the photos depict, roomy and very comfortable. Plentiful storage space allowed us to unpack and settle in for our stay with our bags out of out of sight - and out of mind.
We love preparing meals from local produce and the well-equipped kitchen made that very easy. We had a glass of rosé and dinner on the balcony most evenings.
The local market is as vibrant and colourful as everyone has said. But our absolute favourite was the small Producers’ Market and cooking demonstrations held on Tuesday evenings from May – October at the former fruit co-operative just across the road from the rear of the apartment building. In the few minutes it took for one of us to return to the apartment with our produce, the other would buy a couple of very reasonably-priced glasses of wine and grab a table. Then we'd relax in the late-afternoon sunshine, with our wine and a pre-dinner snack conjured up from our market purchases while watching a local chef make simple 'Street Food' for tasting. Bliss!
Lourmarin proved an ideal base for exploring; we made good use of the Provence Byways guide provided in the apartment,and even purchased a downloadable copy of our own.
We were welcomed warmly at our favourite café just below – La Reserve - where our coffees were often delivered without us even having to order.
We would love to return to Lourmarin and the apartment in the future.
