Roussillon apartment or house recommendation

Does anyone have a recommendation for a house or apartment in Roussillon to be rented for one week? Preferably for under 800 euros.

My favorite rental site is www.vrbo.com - vacation rentals by owner although many are managed by an agency. There are many in the Luberon including Roussillon.

I noticed on another posting that you rented through www.theLuberon.com at one point and seemed happy. I'm looking at them and would like to know if your experience (or any other readers) was positive or if there were any problems that I should be looking for - slow return of damage deposit, house not ready or not as billed, that sort of stuff. I'm always leary of sending money to an unknown but the site is great and the houses look wonderful. Thanks for your input.

Hi mimi; We decided not to stay in that location using that web site. Instead stayed in a chateau in St. Remy. Iris

Theluberon.com places are managed by Paolo di Paolis - while for obvious reasons, we've never stayed at one of his properties, we know quite a few people who have and you can rest assured that he does everything in a very professional manner and you won't have any problems at all.

Paolo di Paolis

I met him and his wife a number of years ago when previewing. I also had rented his place and then had to cancel due to my husband's illness. Very nice people. Lovely place...both places...

Merci to Kevin and Grace Joan for your input on Paolo's rentals - I can now go ahead and rent the home of our dream vacation. Because I know of your reputation, Kevin, I feel confident in doing this. Thanks so very much to you both.

I second the compliments regarding Paolo. He was very responsive via email everytime I had a new question or concern. Everything about our house rental in Menerbes was exceptional. Our stay was magical.
