It isn't the kind of luxury you find in a swanky shiny hotel but it is the kind of luxury I like coming from a big city like London. It's a quiet getaway in the treetops, it's peaceful, it's natural and it's personal. Diane was very helpful in when booking as well as when we had problems getting there (we got the bus from Nice - quite easy and pleasent - but there are 2 buses going to St Paul de Vence that don't both stop in the same place. Our taxi was waiting at the other bus stop!) You also get personal touches like a glass of regional wine and nibbles on arrival, advice on local excellent restaurants from the Michelin starred to the cook over a fire type (so many within a ten minute walk - well this is Provence!)
It's perfect for a romantic weekend because there is no where else like it. You have your own detached space in the tree, a balcony, a natural pool and we even had our own swings under neath the tree house! St Paul de Vence is also a lovely town for relaxing and sampling the local cafe culture. We also did a lovely walk to Vence ( very hot when we were there). For us this was a treat for a long weekend. It wasn't cheap but I felt the experience over all was well worth it.
