  What visitors have said about Mas de Cornud
   
 
Mas de Cornud, home of David and Nito Carpita, nestled in the lavendar- scented countryside of Provence welcomes you and invites you to enjoy the many pleasurable experiences of St. Remy and surrounds. The market at St. Remy is the most fascinating market I have ever visited. Nito and David celebrate the food, wine, people, culture and history of their area which is nutured by the summer sun . The visit to the Hospice where Van Gough painted in vibrant yellows and vivid blues was a highlight to me as I studied art.

We can't thank you enough for making our trip to Saint-Remy such a wonderful one. Our evening at MDC was so much fun, the people were so interesting and the food was fabulous. Being able to connect with "locals" makes all the difference in the world when it comes to learning about, and experiencing a new area. You are both so welcoming and friendly, we feel as if we have known you for years -- you have the perfect personalities for the business you are in because the interest you take in each person you meet is entirely genuine.

Just a quick note to tell you again how much we enjoyed our stay with you. I found a site that covers "Social Petanque on a Bounded Court." The author maintains that this form of Petanque is becoming very popular in the U.S. but says "My only knowledge of locations to play Petanque on bounded courts is at family oriented, clothing optional resorts and campgrounds." Fortunately you don't have "clothing optional" rules even though you have a bounded court. PS. Please give Cleopatra a little scratch for me.

"Mas de Cornud is perfect and after spending a week with the two of you, I know what the payoff is of hard work and tender love. I appreciate your commitment to excellence whether in the kitchen or out."

Every year I hurry to get here in order to slow down . . . It keeps getting better."
