When we returned to Europe more than 23 years ago after years of work in Africa, we fell in love with this house, in all its simplicity but with the greatness of nature around us. It has remained that way for all those years and we are still very happy to come there. We also allow others to enjoy this unique place.

Superb location!
If you like peace and quiet and want to get away from the crowd, this is the place to be.
A bit of a struggle in the shower (small and fluctuating temperatures due to pumping up water) but really a be...

Thank you very much for your nice review. The shower does indeed suffer from a drop of pressure because the water is pumped up from a pump house. Unfortunately, there's not much we can do about that. We will see if we can make ...

Le Piolan is a fantastic place if you like peace and nature. The view is amazing. The cottage is full of character, soberly furnished and special in every way. There's something very nice about that.

What a lovely house in a fantastic place. Gave us a particularly free feeling in the middle of nature. The view remained impressive. With Forcalquier nearby, we enjoyed small-scale and artistic activity. Highly recommended. Th...

Great location, peace and space in abundance.

A special house in a very beautiful place. The space around the house is also lovely. Well equipped kitchen. Beautiful starry sky with lots of shooting stars. Cute "pets": a fat toad, a limping deer and of course large spiders,...

Le Piolan is located in an almost magical place. We spent a week under the shady conifer reading, eating, drinking and playing pétanque, while enjoying the view, and could have continued for a very long time. The house gives yo...

What a lot of praise about our house! Very nice to hear. Fortunately, there is a table where people with long legs can sit. The one in the kitchen is very low indeed. We will think about whether we can do something about this,...
