5.0mixed
Some rooms may lack a proper sitting area, and temperature regulation can be a challenge due to the age of the building. Guests should also be aware of stairs and hills, which might affect accessibility to certain rooms.
“bedroom didn't have a proper sitting area, just a desk and a side chair.”
“It's out of the host's control, but it is hard to regulate temperature in the room. But it's an old house so there isn't much to do about that.”
“Just be aware that parking is a little difficult nearby. We ended up parking in the post office parking lot and walked up the hill to get to Stefan's Patio en Luberon. It didn't bother us, but it would not be accessible for those unable to walk uphill or climb the stairs to 2 of the rooms.”
