Great villa for a family holiday
The house is beautiful and more spacious than the listing implies. Having a pool and terrace to ourselves was a great feature for our holiday. Unfortunately, we arrived in Pernes-les-Fontaines during one of the most extreme heatwaves the area has experienced (34-40C every day for 3 weeks). The upstairs bedroom was too hot to use and so we had to change our sleeping arrangements to use only the 3 downstairs bedrooms. There is nothing that the owners could do about the heatwave and they have indicated that the upper bedroom will be air conditioned after this season is finished. Our only other issue was the mosquitoes. Whether they were more prevalent due to the extreme heat, we don't know, but we were very badly bitten and after the first 10 days, we had to stop using the terrace in the evenings. No amount of repellent or sprays could control the biting. It was intolerable for us. If mosquitoes don't bother you much then you won't have any issues. They loved us though.
In summary, a fab house that made a great base for exploring and for having lazy days by the pool. In extreme weather, be prepared to battle the mosquitoes.
