2010 Rates and Terms

The apartment is new, and has been available for rent since only July 2007. It is not appropriate for children. The entire apartment and terrace are non-smoking. Pets are not permitted. Rates quoted are in U.S. dollars. You can begin your stay any day of the week, unlike most rentals in Provence.

Rates are quoted through 2010; however, until confirmed, they are subject to change. Rates include housekeeping at the end of your stay, linens and internet service, again, unlike most French rentals. Euro rates are determined at 1.4 euros/$US but will be charged at rate in effect when apartment is booked and final payment is made.

We cannot accept credit cards since the charge per transaction is extremely high. Wire transfers are fine. Security deposits can be paid in cash in US$ or euros upon your arrival at the apartment.
