Customer reviews of La Roucoulade

Handcrafted Furniture and Decoration, Thuya Wood Essaouira

We were lucky enough to stay at La Roucoulade during our wedding weekend, which took place right next door at the Moulin de la Récense.
We rented the whole house (house + gîte) and everything was perfect. Clémence is very attentive, always available to answer our questions despite the stress of the wedding. She is also very available and adapted to our time constraints. Before our stay, we received a detailed booklet detailing all the features of the house, the surrounding activities and her recommendations, which was very useful. We couldn't have wished for a better location for our last night as unmarried couples and our first night as newlyweds. The house's facilities are exceptional and everything has been thought through with great taste. Our friends and family were also amazed by the place.
We will always have fond memories of this beautiful home where we made our preparations. We both stayed separately, one in the gîte and the other in the house.

What can I say... a moment of family disconnection! We were 10 and stayed 15 days at La Roucoulade in its entirety (gite + house) and the experience was remarkable! A great family moment where everyone is together: granny and grandchildren. La Roucoulade is tastefully decorated, everything is well thought out, nothing is missing (for the youngest as well as for the oldest), even the cicada song is well regulated! We especially like the swimming pool and its view of the unmissable mill and the pretty village of Ventabren. Many thanks to Clémence, Guillaume, Gaspard and Toscane.

I rented the gite and the house for a long weekend, nothing to say except that it was great, a little secret address not to be shared too much which will quickly fall victim to its success. The house is top, Clemence and her family take care of all the logistics with a big smile, I particularly recommend bringing the chef Emilie Cadeau for an exceptional meal. My 2 favourite areas are the pool and lunch under the hackberry trees. A house for a group of friends or family with children. I will return. Thank you for a wonderful stay

Thank you so much to Clémence and her family for making this place an unforgettable memory for our 40th birthday! Everyone was charmed by the setting, the beauty and the ease of living in this magnificent house. The gite is very welcoming. It was very appealing... We will be back!

We spent a weekend with friends at La Roucoulade and it was great!
Clemence knew how to offer us a tailor-made stay by advising us on service providers who prepared our meals and everything was delicious!
Be sure Clemence will do her best to make your stay as pleasant as possible.

A week ago, we celebrated the baptism of our daughter at La Roucoulade, surrounded by our family and friends... we will keep extraordinary memories, and the enchanting setting of the place is for a lot of it! The large table in the shade of the hackberry trees, the bowling green, the superb swimming pool, and the exceptional view on the mill: the garden is ideal to welcome a beautiful party, with the sound of cicadas!
The interior decoration is just as wonderful. Clémence has taken care of every detail, and the equipment is of great quality.
The location of the bastide is perfect, just a few minutes walk from the beautiful village of Ventabren, and easily accessible from the Aix-en-Provence TGV station and the airport.
Clémence was very available and attentive to help us in the preparations, and her welcome was very warm.
Thank you very much Clémence, we had a fantastic weekend at La Roucoulade!
