Description from owner
Description
Stepping out of a narrow, winding street in the heart of Pernes you find yourself in a scene from the Arabian Nights-or might it be Petarch? An enclosed courtyard holds a spring fed pool, a wide terrace, greenery galore, a wooden pergola, romantic lighting: poetry that on a warm summer's night would melt the heart of the toughest pragmatist. From here into the 21st century: a cool haven of space with an airy feel, a minimilist decor, earth colours, natural fabrics, and plain good taste. Quirky touches too. You'll want to stay a while to experience both world's the ice-cube lamps against old stonework, the Art Deco style and the abstract art. Comfortable bedrooms have quiet style, the excellent kitchen has an extraordinary quantity of of crockery, cutlery, platters and baskets, and the living area's 30's style leather sofas open arms to a superior music system: the owner is a professional trombonist. Just up from the market square: yet quieter than the countryside: no tractors, no roosters. Fine dining, festivals great and small, history, art and winegrowers are all around you. beautifully converted 18th Century stone barn situated in a typically Provencal village in the heart of the Vaucluse.
La Saga is a very large converted barn situated in the ancient village of Pernes Les Fontaines. The house is entered through a gate from a typically old narrow street in the village. A stunning courtyard with a swimming pool is overlooked by the 3 storey house.
The house has been designed for enjoyment and indulgence. The floors are traditional stone throughout and there is electric central heating as well as three wood-burning stoves.
This is an ideal house for you to unwind from the fast pace of your professional lives or indeed for a more mature group of people to spend time enjoying the surroundings of the Vaucluse and Luberon countryside and relaxing around the pool. It is a perfect place from which to explore the surrounding ancient cities and indulge in the cultural events of Provence.
Ideally situated within a few minutes walk from all the local amenities, yet once inside the courtyard it could not feel any more private.

Response from the owner Dear Qwerty1111111 Thank you for your feedback. Pete and I take pride in knowing that La Saga is fully prepared for the holiday season and do our best to maintain the high standard throughout the year. To receive such a review without any positives is very disheartening, especially as we accommodated your financial needs. We assume you got aggravated when your security deposit was refunded later than you requested (but on time as per our terms & conditions). To clarify the points you made, the photographs are as the house is. The pool is 4x6sqm, we have never advertised it as anything different. I agree, it can feel cold when you first get in due to the air temperature being hotter than the water, especially during the summer season. There is an option for the pool to be heated if you wish. We do have a maintenance man who visits once a week to service the pool. However, If the water appears cloudy there are instructions on how to remedy this in the house book (it normally happens if the sun has been particularly hot or it has had a lot of use). If you don't fancy doing this yourself it is suggested you contact us and we can talk you through it (also written in the house book). There is no air conditioning but electric fans in each room, we have never claimed to have air con. There is a dining table that seats twelve people a couple of metres from the kitchen, we don't suggest you try to fit your party around the kitchen table (it seats six). La Saga was built in the 1700's and unfortunately there was no damp proofing put in place back then, like all old buildings. However, it is not damp, every year we ensure the property is fully aired and definitely not smelly! We redecorate ever year (this year we did the lounge area and master bedroom). Your comments claiming the house is in ‘dire need of redecoration’ and ‘smells of damp’ are simply not true. We are extremely sorry if La Saga didn't live up to expectations. We really do try our best to provide everything and more for our guests. At any point during your holiday if you are not happy we do stress to get in touch and we will do everything we can to sort any problems out. Pete has since spoken to Valerie who stated that her party had a great holiday. We can only hope you enjoyed discovering the beautiful surrounding area, tasting the delicious, fresh local fayre and experiencing the sights of Provence more than you did your stay at La Saga. I'm sure that's one thing we can agree on, Provence really is a fabulous holiday destination.
“Wonderful house for a family gathering”
