Saba

This is a wonderful place, and you are assured a warm welcome by Pascale who speaks perfect English. Cabrieres is a peaceful little village and the rooms here are spacious and comfortable, with the option of air-conditioning as a relief from the heat. Breakfast is out on the shady terrace, chiffon drapes fluttering in the breeze, with bowls of cafe au lait, flaky fresh croissants, crusty baguette and Pascale's delicious home made preserves bursting with fruit. We feasted on plump purple figs and ripe scented peaches from local trees - what a treat! The garden has a swimming pool, a very chic wooden deck by the side of it with sunloungers, a large olive tree and a great view overlooking the misty Luberon Hills. The room has a fridge where you can store your drinks and even a microwave. Pascale went out of her way to make us feel welcome, asking what our preferences were for breakfast and recommending good places to eat. She is an extremely knowledgeable host and many of the fascinating places she recommended for us to visit were not in the guide books. Thank you so much for a memorable trip.
