        <p itemprop="description">What could be better than staying in a beautiful 18th century Maison situated in a little village in Provence, enjoying warm and wonderful hospitality, picturesque surroundings, interesting and diverse local excursions, wonderful cuisine both in-house and out, French wines (and a few unique cocktails!) musical evenings, markets, and so much more?
Why, return the following year of course (the ultimate compliment!), this time with a group of NZ friends who were keen to experience all of this. We were not disappointed!
The 13 days were so much fun, we were well looked after and richly entertained - every day was an absolute pleasure. Amanda Taylor-Ace is an exceptional host and the highly social and varied experiences provided were enjoyed by all of our group.
A three-day visit to beautiful San Remo in Italy at the end of our stay in France was the icing on the cake, a delightful way to end a truly fabulous trip.
Highly recommended (again!)</p>

        <p itemprop="description">We were persuaded by some friends to join them on a culinary experience with Amanda Taylor-Ace at her villas in St Maximin for 13 days and then a further 3 days in San Remo. We were in our own enchanting world at the villas.
Amanda was a great host and we enjoyed great food and wine (plenty of it) and were entertained by first class musicians. It was also a bundle of laughs from start to finish.
Amanda organised some very good daily excursions and was prepared to be flexible to meet the needs of the group.</p>

        <p itemprop="description">If you're looking for a truly fabulous and authentic French experience, then this Provence Culinary Tour (although it's so much more) is not to be missed. It truly delivers the 'Wow' factor!

Two beautifully and authentically restored 3-storey 18th Century Maisons in the quaint little village of St Maximin in Provence was the guest accommodation for the 12 days I was there. My room was large, comfortable and tastefully decorated and had views of the pretty countryside whilst overlooking the garden, outdoor entertaining area, and swimming pool. I had my own separate bathroom.

Most days after our typical French breakfast in the Maison we had the opportunity to receive some basic French lessons, which was helpful, before we headed out to explore and experience Provence. 

The itineray was interesting and diverse - fabulous markets (produce, antique and flea), exquisite food, wine tastings, special cocktails, a gourmet picnic, many excursions including several fantastic ''surprise'' locations, the opportunity to meander through cobbled streets and explore tiny alleyways whilst exploring historical towns and villages, ancient buildings and monuments.  There was musical entertainment both in-house and out, walking tours, cooking school - and so much more. But the tour is well balanced and also gave sufficient time to relax at home, or chill out by the pool.

Not only do Amanda and Judy have warm and effervescent personalities, but they're well-versed in the history of the many fascinating places we visited, and happy to share their impressive culinary skills during the hands-on cooking school lessons.

There was lots of fun and laughter during the tour - it was memorable, diverse and highly recommended.</p>

It accommodated all of us wonderfully. It is an ideal location to be based, with so much to do and see in th region. Amanda and Judy are wonderful hosts and nothing is ever a problem. They even offer a full dining option and with 18 people we took advantage of it 3 of 4 times in the week. Wonderful value for money.</p>

        <p itemprop="description">what a great house, but even more impressive is the hospitality. Amanda and Judy are excellent hosts. The location's fabulous too. St Maximin is a very cute town, and nearby to Uzes, gave us the opportunity to visit the market, and a 'hidden treasure' the flea market, in Uzes. The house is close by to the ancient aquaduct, Pont du Gard, the Palais des Papes in Avignon which we really enjoyed.

        <p itemprop="description">Maison de Maitresse is centrally located within Provence in the quaint village of Saint Maximin.    We visited Mont Ventoux, Sault, Vaison la Romaine, Avignon, and several smaller towns.  Of course we visited a winery and tasted wine at many different wine houses.  Within a few miles of the Maison are Roman ruins and sunflower fields – keep your eyes peeled.  

We rented the Maison  for four nights and also hired the owners -- Amanda and Judy – to prepare two dinners for us– one on the evening of our arrival and another evening.  The dinners were delicious.  Amanda and July were 'absolutely fabulous' hosts and exceptionally hospitable and entertaining.  They even had a welcome basket for us!.   Our visit  to the Maison wouldn’t have been the same without them.  

The Maison is a large old eclectic house with ample bedrooms and living space, both inside and outside on the veranda and pool area, to accommodate a large group of people.  The outdoor living area and the  pool are an added bonus.  We spent a day sitting by the beautiful pool and sipping locally purchased wine.  I recommend a stay at the Maison, especially to enjoy the hospitality of Amanda and Judy.   Tracet</p>
