About this house rental
Sleeps up to 15. 4 bedroom secluded XVIIIth century watermill with swimming pool and large garden bordered by the river Sasse. Further bedroom with 7 beds in separate building ('cabanon') for younger guests. 3 km from charming old village of Valernes and 10 km from Sisteron. This charming provençal house, a fully refurbished watermill, was built shortly before the French Revolution; it has no directly visible neighbours. The river Sasse runs in the back of the garden. Its large terrace is located under a huge sycamore tree providing shade in the hot summer days. The house has been renovated and provides all modern comfort. A separate stone building, the 'cabanon', provides a bedroom with 7 beds, ideal for kids or teenagers. From the house, you have a wonderful view on the Montagne de Lure, the Rocher de Gache and the River Sasse. No direct neighbours to be seen or heard! Enjoy the quietness of this secluded location. Or make as much noise as you wish: there will be no one to hear you!
Additional information: The house will be cleaned once a week.

I didn't want to submit a review for fear that this charming place will become more and more popular thereby potentially limiting the chances I will have of rebooking in the coming years. That would be doing the owners a massive disservice though and so I will also add my words of praise for this charming place which has been lovingly restored by it's charming owners, who, I should add, were an absolute pleasure to deal with as were the onsite couple who welcomed us and showed us the ropes as it were.
We were two young families, each with a young child, and we stayed here for a week. We were lucky - the weather was fantastic, which allowed us to lounge by the pool, eat out every night and generally recuperate and recharge our batteries. The kids loved the pool and the ample space the "park" offered - essentially around half a football pitch worth of grassed land to run about in. The petanque pitch was also put to good use!
I shall always think back fondly of the Moulin de Fombeton and equally I shall always look forward to my next stay there. The area is beautiful, rural, peaceful (bar the deafening crickets at night - but that's the type of "noise" one wants on such a holiday in such a fantastic place) and offers plenty to do if you are not satisfied by doing almost nothing but swimming, coooking, eating and drinking.
