Le refuge - A great holiday rental in Fontaine de Vaucluse near the Luberon

If not the best, one of the best rental experiences we’ve had!The Refuge was extremely well appointed with more than adequate supplies and a host who provided great recommendations without invading our space.

La Refuge is a great beautiful place for your stay in Provence. However, you have to be aware that the owner lives upstairs just above the house. He is eager to communicate, which can be both an advantage or a disadvantage. We felt an eye upon us all the time, so if you just want to be by yourself, this should be considered. The Place itself is very good.

We had a wonderful and relaxing stay at Le Refuge. The gite is close to lots of beautiful villages and good places to eat. Le Refuge is well equipped; we had everything we needed for our stay. Dirk is a charming host. With his tips we visited places we would not have found ourselves. We would recommend it.

Lovely well appointed property which is without doubt the best equipped we have ever stayed at. Off road parking, private pool, secluded courtyard, fully equipped kitchen (even washing powder and dishwasher tablets are provided). Dirk really has thought of everything!Dirk, the host, is attentive and happy to provide ideas for days out or activities should you need them.The property is located in a quiet hamlet about 15 minutes walk into Fontaine de Valcluse which is a picturesque town with a bakery, and many restaurants. The nearest supermarket is about a 5 minute drive The property and the local area are lovely, and provide a great base for visiting wider Provence.

We feel so fortunate to have discovered Le Reguge. The house is exceptionally equipped and beautifully restored. Dirk went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable and shared the environs with us. We’ve never had such a gracious and interesting host. We have been renting for decades and this visit stands out in every aspect. And it wasn’t even pool season!

A lovely, very spacious, very well equipped guest house in Provence. Fontaine du Vaucluse is a beautiful area of Provence and great base for exploring the region. The host, Dirk, was always available and very eager to help plan excursions and adventures during our stay. There is a speed bump situated right in front of the house on the main road which was a little bit disruptive for the front bedroom at night.

Stone house and oversized wooden beams, spacious indoor and outdoor areas, make this a unique holiday home while travelling. Well equipped kitchen with lovely indoor and outdoor dining areas connected by a massive sliding door to bring the outdoors in and expand the overall feel. Used the swimming pool to cool off after a day of touring. Convenient parking for our car. Our host, Dirk, lives onsite and regularly checked in to be sure everything in the gîte was operating as expected and offered suggestions for exploring the local area. Used the washer and clothes ( and wet bathing suits) dried easily outdoors on the drying rack.

Probably one of the best stays we have ever had. We read all the 5 star reviews and understand now why. Property is charming and fully outfitted with everything you might need; meticulously well kept. Great location, and Dirk is a 5-star host who has lovingly restored his home and made this an easy recommendation from us! Dirk, if you'd have put a comfy lounge chair out by the pool for me to read - we probably would never have left!

Our stay in this house was amazing. Very comfortable with a beautiful location. The home was well supplied with all your needs. The host is gracious and full of useful and great advice. You can also enjoy a bottle of wine with him and the view of the Galas Aqueduct is divine. We will be back! The town is sleepy and lovely. During our time we took a horseback lesson, rode Mont Ventoux and visited many markets and towns. Best holiday yet!! Thanks again Dirk!!

Die Wohnung ist sehr gepflegt und top eingerichtet. Die Wohnung ist auch im Sommer bei heissen Temperaturen herrlich kühl. Den Pool haben wir sehr geschätzt. War eine angenehme Abkühlung bei den heissen Sommertemperaturen. In der Wohnung haben wir alles vorgefunden, was wir benötigten. Ist mit sehr viel Liebe eingerichtet. Der Vermieter gibt im regelmässigen Kontakt wertvolle Tipps über die Umgebung. Die Wohnung ist optimal gelegen für Ausflüge in der Umgebung. Konnten sehr viel von der Provence entdecken. Wir hatten einen wundervollen Urlaub für 2 Wochen. Wir empfehlen die Wohnung nun gerne weiter und komme gerne einmal wieder.
