I had the pleasure of staying in the lovely Villa Saint Marc for two nights, and only wished I could have stayed longer. The hospitality of both Cristiana and Alexandre was exceptional, and even after only two nights, I felt as though I’d known them for years. My room and bath were excellent and the breakfast that Cristiana serves is beyond excellent. I walked into Forcalquier both nights for dinner, and visited during the day too. I highly recommend this Villa Saint Marc.

Hello, my name is Cristiana, originally from the Venetian region (northern Italy), I trained in tourism and events; I come from a family of cooks and chefs, so passionate about cooking to the point that I do a radio transmission of gastronomy, a follower of the slow food movement, practical kitchen km 0, organic, vegetarian and gluten-free, and I believe in ecology recycling. I really like movies, music, and theatre. I moved here in this wonderful area in Provence Luberon, comiong from Paris, with my partner and my three cats, Tissi, Fifi and Loulou. I am really enjoying managing this property, with a particular attention on the relation with the guests, doing all what is possible to make them feel confortable at home.
we are 5 minutes walk from Forcalquier center, with its shopping, services and the new "green village " We are also at the start of many trekking : 45 minutes walk to historic site of “Les Mourres”, 3 hours walk to the mountain of “Lure “ ( saint Etienne les Orgues) Many possibilities of leisure in the surroundings : golf, tennis, stand up paddling, trekking, horse riding, historical visits ( Monastery of Ganagobie, Abbaye Notre Dame de Sénanque,…) ballooning, biking. You can access the sea : we are less than 100 kms from cote d’azur sea side ( Cassis, Bandol ) You can access the Alpe mountains, with ski resorts in winter ( Montagne de Lure – a small ski resort – is about 30 minutes drive . We are at about 10 km from the A51 motorway, which connects to Aix en Provence- Marseille, cote d ‘azur, and to Sisteron- Gap *( Alp mountain ). We are about 10 kms from the railway station of Oraison, connected to the TGV Paris - Marseille) And you can also take the Bus Station in Forcalquier ( 5 minutes walk ) to go to Manosque connected to Aix, Marseille, Avignon .
