The lovely golden sunlight is shining on your beautiful mas.  Just enough really to annoy us at having to leave!  We’ve had a wonderful time "en famille" and have enjoyed every minute of our stay.  I'm sorry I haven’t written before this, to tell you what an absolutely fabulous time we all had at Mas des Roseaux.  Your beautiful house is ideal for a family like ours, and every bit of the house was well used, particularly the outside area, where we had many a delightful lunch with the region's wines and cheeses and beautiful fruit and vegetables.  France does things better than Australia - we can get fruit and veggies all year round, but then of course they are not seasonal, and don't taste nearly as nice as yours.  I never eat strawberries [in Australia]!  We had a great time wandering around Les Baux, Eygalieres, Nimes, Arles, Avignon, Port du Gard, etc.,  and still didn’t get to see nearly enough.  We had a final dinner at Hotel des Valruges, sitting outside and having a wonderful meal, which was memorable.  We were all very sorry to leave although it was good that we had a few days in Paris before going home.  Angeline was really great and looked after us well.  It must be very nice for you to know she is keeping an eye on things.  Haven't got the photos back yet (mainly because the kids have got my cameras) but will send you one of us all so you can see what we all look like - very relaxed and happy, I would think.  Kindest regards, Bente - and if you ever want any recommendations, please use our name.

Our stay at your beautiful Mas des Roseaux was fabulous; the sun was shining two weeks long and the pool was wonderful.  As for the mas - it is a beauty!!!  We really enjoyed our stay and we are already looking forward to our next holiday at your home.  Merci et à bientôt.

Thank you for a wonderful week we will remember for years.  We celebrated Raffi's 60th birthday, and enjoyed our stay.  The whole holiday surrounded the beautiful kitchen!  (Provence's best restaurants can't compete with the place's ambiance.)  And now a few words in the bible's language:

(How come we are the first Israelis here?  If others come after us - enjoy it!  The house is great and the surroundings are beautiful.)

We've had a lovely two weeks celebrating my special birthday at your beautiful, peaceful and welcoming home.  Dear friends have come in and out over the time and we'll have great memories of fun times, great food and wine, interesting excursions and just general relaxation in
an utterly divine environment!

 We spent a wonderful week in your house.  The little one just said that she had a lovely time and that she had nice dreams every single night!  Thank you so much for letting us stay in your home.

Thank you so much for allowing us to stay at your beautiful home!  We have had an absolutely fabulous time.  We can't wait to meet up with you both in Fontainebleau, and make some more happy memories.  Your home is so warm and inviting we all felt like it was our home away from home.

 Thank you so much for letting us use your beautiful home for the weekend.  Your house is gorgeous - warm, decadent but cosy and comfortable at the same time.  We have loved our time [here] - it has been wonderful getting an insight to life in France, and you both have made the whole process so much easier and more enjoyable!!  Thank you for all your help and support!  Stay in touch,

Many, many thanks.  The house provided us with the perfect “ bonne arrière” from which to enjoy the run up to the wedding.  Your kitchen has been divine – we have cooked up a storm every night and barbecued twice a day all week.  Enjoy the “Château des Tours”.
It is our special favourite which we drank at the wedding.

What a blast we have had at your fabulous house.  The kids have loved the pool and we have enjoyed the garden and terrace immensely.  The house is so well kitted out with all we needed.  The three mile run to St Rémy is great and the town gorgeous.  We hope we can return at some point.

Today is my 60th birthday and what a wonderful way to celebrate with a beautiful week in Provence at this warm family retreat.  Our extended family of nine and a one year old had such fun and good times.  The house, yard, pool and light were exceptional.  Thank you so much.  I am glad we were able to meet you at the start of our visit.  As I sit at your lovely kitchen table
our family wishes your family blessings and peace.

These 2 weeks at your Mas des Roseaux were weeks of complete rest.  Just like last year, the Mas was splendid, the ideal place to recuperate.   Even when the sun wasn’t always strong.  Our BO was a great host for the baby squirrel in the garden; he was very interested in this jolly jumper.  We sincerely hope to return to your wonderful Mas later on this year.  Un grand merci et à bientôt.

Thank you for letting us stay the last 6 ½ months in your beautiful house. It has felt like our own home, and we are very sad to be leaving.  We experienced the most wonderful winter and spring in Mas des Roseaux. The snow falls in January and March were such a new experience for us as was our new French way of life. We loved everything at the house including M. Oukili and wonderful Angeline – she has added a richness to our time which we will never forget.  We have watched the garden change through the seasons and enjoyed opening our shutters in the morning to be greeted by a wonderful view.  We will never forget our time here
and meeting you both was an added bonus.

 We have had the most wonderful week in Provence and are so glad we were fortunate enough to stay in your beautiful “mas". The warmth of your home enveloped us immediately. It is comfortable, tastefully decorated, and provided us with every amenity we could need. And your gardens – they reflect the same care and attention as your home. We have loved every minute.

We have appreciated everything that you have created and everything that was created!  Your home was instantly comfortable for us, much like our “cottage” on Lake Simcoe in Ontario, Canada.  This week
has easily exceeded our expectations and your home was a big part of our experience.  Both Provence and your house are special places.  Thanks for all.

A wonderful retreat in sun-bathed late September days.  “Lovely”  food, strolling, biking, talks about life, reading, swimming – le Mas des Roseaux is a time reflective and re-energizing place, filled with warmth.  Danke.

Voici deux ans nous découvrions cet endroit magnifique avec Nicolas.  Cette année Camille nous accompagne.  La maison, son jardin et sa terrasse ombragée sont toujours aussi accueillants.  On se sent bien, on se relax et on regarde les petits et leurs amis grandir.  Un grand merci pour ces moments de bonheurs passés chez vous. 
(It has now been two years since we discovered this magnificent place with Nicolas.  This year, Camille is with us.  The house with its gardens and shaded terrace are always so welcoming.  We feel comfortable, we relax, and we watch the little ones and their friends grow older.  A very big thank you for these happy moments spent at your home.)

We had a lovely week at your beautiful house.  Your kitchen is so wonderful for cooking
large meals, and having bikes to explore was a blast.  Thank you so much.

Saint Rémy revisited ... after 25 years.  Your lovely house was the meeting point for the whole family! – and for the first time with our two grandchildren, Alexine and Maxime.  A magical place; a real home with a family spirit.

 

We really enjoyed staying at your beautifully decorated house.  Our little son of 9 months spent a great week here in Provence.  It was his first trip.  Great kitchen and cooking books.  Many thanks.

Our first stay at your Mas des Roseaux was splendid!  Congratulations with the decoration of your inviting home and with your lovely garden.  We found the recovering rest we needed so much.  As for our little “cochon” BO, he behaved very well.  Can you hear him now?  Yes!  Accompanied by an orchestra of cicadas and the mistral breeze he barks loud and clearly, “Happy Birthday to you,Bente!"

We just wanted to send our thanks for allowing us to enjoy your beautiful home.  My hope is that we can come again and spend more time.  Angeline [the caretaker] was fantastic, professinal and extremely helpful.  We could not possibly say that anything needed to be improved.  We love to cook and the kitchen was a dream.  The house book of instructions was very helpful.  We used the restaurant suggestions and had the most fabulous meal at Alain Assaud.  I will share this very special place with my family and friends.  Thank you again for our great Provence experience.

If you pick up any cocktail table picture book on Provence, "this house" in Saint Remy will just jump out at you from every page. It is everyman’s vision of a Provencial paradise.
