Bettys house has all necessary comfort and is beautiful located. The interior design is very stylish and she is a perfect host. We will be back.

Comfortable, clean, well supplied with kitchen and bathroom items, pleasant paintings and ornaments. Great for two couples. Well-located ten minutes from Apt shopping, with many villages close by suitable for day trips, yet very peaceful on top of the ridge in the oak forest. The owner was very helpful and pleasant.

Both Betty and her gite are great! She is a welcoming hostess, and the cottage was just what we wanted. We highly recommend them.

Lovely cottage with everything we (3 adults) needed. Quaint & quiet & comfortable & really clean. Pretty area. The owner was wonderful. Close drive to many beautiful country towns for all day touring. Passed several restaurants on the way back though we mainly had dinner & wine in the cottage.

We had a fantastic stay in this lovely property. Comfortable, well equipped and a garden to relax in. Betty the owner was welcoming and friendly. Wish we could have stayed longer.

We've just returned from our fifth visit to this lovely cottage. Clearly, we just can't get enough. The gite is beautifully appointed in every aspect--bedrooms with fine linens, ensuite bathrooms with fine Provencal soaps, a well equipped kitchen. The layout is superb. The cottage's two bedrooms are at opposite ends of the beautiful building, assuring privacy. The owner, Betty, is just terrific. She makes restaurant reservations and offers suggestions about must-see villages. There are wonderful hikes right from the gite, a goat farm to explore in the valley below, and all manner of adventures nearby for walkers. The Luberon is mystical in its ancient beauty with hilltowns in both walking and a short driving distance. Just can't say enough about this amazing place.

Loved this beautifully decorated stone cottage in a great location near Apt and Bonnieux - great ambience. Stayed 10 days - great opportunity to take in all the beauty of the Luberon. Spent most days touring the amazing villages in the area, a car is a must. Discovered an awesome artisanal bakery in Apt with mouthwatering breads straight from a real wood fired stone oven -- a real treat for us Californians! Favorite villages would be Gordes, L'Isle du la Sorgue and Rousillion but there are so many it is truly hard to have a favorite. We were there during the height of the lavender season (July) amazingly beautiful and fragrant experience! Cottage has everything you need including appropriate "bug spray" for the uninvited guests (insects summer brings!). Unfortunately for us, we were there during a heat wave but in general, possibly Spring or Fall would be better weather. Owners are very gracious hosts anxious to please - one is ex-pat American and her husband is French - makes it easy if you are English speaking. Beds are comfortable and everything was very clean. Very handy to have a washing machine during a 10 day stay. We ate lunch out in a different village every day. Breakfasts and light suppers at the cottage - worked very well. Apt provided easy access to food stores. We loved the use of stone for sinks, showers, etc - really beautiful. All in all a delightful experience. Highly recommend it!

We loved the Barrulaires Gite! It’s a meticulously restored stone farmhouse cottage atop a small mountain in the Luberon a few miles from Apt. The property features a lovely view, and the cottage itself has wonderful décor coupled with all the up-to-date conveniences one would hope for. The owner – the irrepressible Betty – greeted us in the driveway with a flashlight at 10:30 pm when we arrived very owing to an Air France strike. She provided sage advice throughout our stay as to local attractions, stores and farmers’ markets, restaurants, etc. Some might find the location a bit remote, but we enjoyed the solitude and privacy and did not mind the short drive into town for provisions or restaurants. Many of the major sites of the region are less than an hour’s drive. Apt itself is filled good restaurants, bakeries, grocery stores, wine shops etc. It’s a lovely jog or walk from the gite down the mountain into the picturesque village of Buoux. Nearby Fort Buoux is definitely worth a half-day visit and the climb to the top is exhilarating. Our only problem was a bit of difficulty with intermittent internet service during our week in September, but we understand Betty has since fixed the problem. [She is a U.S. expatriate married to a Frenchman, and she used her bilingual abilities to help us with dinner reservations]. Too many great restaurants in the area to mention, but it’s hard to go wrong.

My family & I stayed here during the second week of September in 2013. We really enjoyed the comfortable accommodations. It is the quintessential Provence cottage. It is very well located, whether you like to hike, bike or drive. There are many villages close by and a week is too short if want to see it all. This is a wonderful place and Betty the landlord is very accommodating. We will go back for sure!

The previous entries in this guestbook are spot-on. Everything is in like-new condition, beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The location is peaceful and well-situated for exploring the sights of the Luberon. And Betty is very friendly and helpful. We'll be back next year!

Here you stay in comfort (underfloor heating for your morning shower),in tranquil, beautiful natural surroundings, but close to the famous perched villages of Bonnieux and Saignon and the market town of Apt. The whole area is lovely and one couldn't ask for nicer hosts than Betty and Jean-Yves.

Both my husband and I, having spent two nights in Avignon, made our way to Buoux following the very clear road directions emailed to us by 'Betty' (the owner of the Gite) prior to our departure from the US. Just before we got to the town of Apt, we made a right turn for Buoux and within 10 minutes we had found our way into the driveway of this pretty self contained cottage- our home for the next two weeks. Of course, even before the car ignition was off in our car, Betty was already in the driveway to greet us with her radiant smile and welcoming us to Buoux. As Betty gave us the tour of the cottage which was on the same grounds as her home we marvelled at how perfect it was for us. Besides the magnificent mountainous views surrounding the properties, we soon felt right at home seeing the interior of this clean, modern, bright, spacious,tastefully decorated - with great attention to detail cottage. Although, this cottage was over 200 years old with a stone exterior and interior of limestone and hemp walls (which Jean Yves, Betty's husband had basically built out from the old style from floor to ceiling), it was hard to know it was that old.. We were even provided with wireless internet which kept us connected with family in our absence from home. During the course of our stay, Betty asked us several times if there was anything we needed to make our stay more comfortable. Truthfully, there was nothing as she had provided all our creature comforts. There were extra linens, towels, soap etc. She gave us a list of the local restaurants-which we entertained and although each had their own style of cooking we savored each morsel of food and maps of local area attractions. There was countless attractions for us to view right at our doorstep. Fort Buoux, Bonnieux, Saignon, Venages, Montoux and Fontaine De Vacluse were some of our favorite places and of which we returned to at least twice. Each morning we woke up to bright sunny skies and to the aroma of lavender. The rolling hills of lavender, sunflowers, and apple and cherry orchards enveloped us and to top all that was the view of six thousand plus high Mount Ventoux-the white limestone mountain. This little piece of heaven is right in the heart of Provence and where you will find serentiy, endless hiking paths, rock climbing, grottoes, breath taking landscape views, a warm welcome and if your lucky some yummy cookies to munch on, skillfully made by Betty! Thank you Betty and Jean Yves 'til we meet again.

This is where you want to stay on your trip to Provence! The gite is perfectly restored and more than comfortable by today's standards. Plenty of room, comfy beds and seating. The setting is magnificient. What a perfect place for your home base in the Luberon. Close to many villages and markets. Betty is the perfect hostess with wonderful knowledge about the area. This is a Must Stop. We can't wait to return.

Absolutely fabulous gite! Perfectly restored. Just a stone's throw from many quaint village towns in the Luberon! We will come back! Thanks Betty!

Lo jas dei Barrulaires won't disappoint. The house is beautiful, extremely well equipped and very comfortable. Added to that is a fantastic setting in tranquil provencal woodland, yet within easy reach of villages and towns for resources. We had a wonderful time - and it was October. Spring or summer would be marvellous.

Buoux is wonderful, both lost in the Provence of Giono, and yet at the very heart of Luberon with equal distances to Bonnieux, Lourmarin, Saignon,and Apt. Very quiet and calm, with magic lightings I have never seen anywhere else. Here, one feels part of the land and "terroir", not just a running tourist. The gite is a perfect, with fabulous lime and hemp traditional stuccos, and sooooo comfortable bedding and linens.

Minha irmã e eu passamos maravilhosos 20 dias em Provence. A propriedade é fantástica, exatamente igual às fotos apresentadas nesse site. A casa é completa, não nos faltou nada. A proprietária é muito simpática e solicita. Ela dá dica de passeios, ajuda no que for preciso e ainda nos recomendou um restaurante muito bom.Achamos que a casa fica em um distãncia boa das principais atrações de Provence e era muito gostoso poder voltar para casa no final do dia e ainda curtir o por do sol tomando um delicioso vinho.Recomendo essa casa para quem deseja sentir um pouco da vida rural de Provence. Para mim foi o máximo!
