Grand mas provençal dans un trés beau parc à proximité de la cité médiévale

We were part of 2 families staying at the house, 10 people in total. There was plenty of room for us all to spread out and not feel that we were on top of each other. It’s an old house which meant lots of uneven steps to and from the garden, this wasn’t an issue for us but worth bearing in mind if traveling with young children. The location is fantastic for trips into both the old and new town and so many places to visit less than an hours drive away. Pierre responded quickly to any questions we had and made us feel extremely welcome. We had a very memorable holiday!

We were well received by Pierre. We arrived very early in Vaison La Romaine, fortunately Pierre made sure we could check in early. We hade a great family vacation.

This is a gorgeous very old house in a perfect location in Vaison-la-Romaine - just above the bridge to the main market street, just below the medieval town, easy to walk everything and very peaceful and quiet. Vaison is a WONDERFUL place to visit and a great base for exploring Provence. Our host, Pierre, sent a detailed email when we booked the place, of things to do in and around Vaison- very helpful. He stopped by 3 days into our stay with wine for us! Very kind. The grounds are beautiful but seriously in need of trimming and maintenance. We did take most of our meals outside, at the table provided, as our weather was perfect. The house has no air conditioning, which we didn’t need, but just be aware. Unfortunately previous tenant(s) had put away cookware and dishes poorly washed (like visibly dirty) so we felt we had to wash everything before using. ( Everything's else in the house was very clean.) There also were no essential supplies in the kitchen (like paper towels, trash and composting bags, foil, etc.) so we had to buy all those items right away. The bedrooms are very comfortable, with wonderful linens; bathrooms/showers great, (there are only 2 toilets, both upstairs). The house is old with many steps in odd places, so care is needed and not suitable for anyone with mobility problems. All in all we loved the place, and would love to return sometime!

All six of us - two 17 year olds and 4 adults - couldn't get over how lovely the house and its grounds were. We felt transported to a different world, lounging around the pool and terraces. So much space in the house to relax too - loved the moroccan lounge, and loved the fact that it was obviously a well loved family home, not just an impersonal rental house. Such a boon to have a lively town and the medieval village on our doorstep. Many thanks too to Pierre for being so kind in picking up two of us at the bus stop, and being so helpful with local information.

After a small amount of confusion we managed to get in after a very long journey. The Pool and eating area are the focal point and we had breakfast, lunch and dinner outside and spent many hours by the pool. Weather was perfect. Both bathrooms are well equipped and the kitchen worked perfectly, Leading straight out to the eating area. Living room is nice and cool to relax and read even at 30 degrees plus outside. For location its perfect, Vaison is a large town with loads of bars restaraunts and loads of other shops, The market on Tuesdays was full of delicious but expensive food. You can walk to town in less than ten minutes, You have the old city above you and chateaus within 30 mins. If you love wine you are right in the middle of it and it is extremely cheap. All i would say is the garden needs some attention. Thanks Pierre. Salutations Paul

Our experience of the farmhouse and property was a memorable one because it gave us a rearview look back in time. The comfortable terrace was a pleasant place to gather and rest after our busy days exploring the town. The large clean house afforded sufficient comfort and security to us and best of all was its proximity to a marvellous treasure- Vaison-la-Romaine.

We were a family of 6 adults plus 3 small children and we had a blissfully happy 2 weeks in this gorgeous part of France. The house is perfectly situated at the foot of the mediaeval town - mere minutes away on foot to this historic treasure, and a few minutes more to cross the roman bridge into the bustling town and impressive roman ruins. The house was easy to find, with good secure parking for our 3 cars, and a massive park/garden to roam about in. Set in a vey quiet street, the farmhouse has 5 spacious double bedrooms, all with comfy beds, and a rather quirky arrangement of public spaces which worked fine for us. We spent almost all of our non-sleeping hours at the house living outside, eating on the big patio [table will easily seat 10] and relaxing down by the fabulous pool. It was just wonderful to have such a lovely pool as the centre-piece of our holiday, and it can be secured to stop small people accessing it without an adult. heated only by the sun it was perfect for those 30 degree plus summer days. The caretaker cleaned it each Saturday and was on call for problems - but he has no english. There are quite a number of concrete steps outside which toddlers would struggle with, but older children will have a blast and we will certainly come back when our 3 [maybe 4 by then?] are a bit bigger and use the garden much more. Trampoline, ping-pong table and playhouse are great assets for a family holiday. The only slight downside was that the house could have been a lot cleaner and some of the lights didn't work but overall we heartily recommend this holiday house. Although we didn't meet Pierre he was charming online, and very helpful and quick to respond to queries.

If you want a bog standard holiday villa this is not for you, but if you want a beautiful old property packed with character and quirkiness, a pool straight out of "Call me by your name" and acres of fairytale gardens it surely is. The location would be hard to beat; short walks take you to a charming medieval village in one direction, in the other an attractive small town with all the shops and facilities you could need and the largest Roman town open to the public in France. The only drawback is that there are a lot of steps in the garden so it would not suit young children. The house is well equipped and we (parents, 4 adult children plus partners had a wonderful, relaxing time
