Lovely holiday
Modern property with beautiful views towards Mont Ventoux.Very well equipped although it would have helped if instruction book had also been in English.Weather was mixed which meant we were not able to use the lovely pool facility. Overall though very enjoyable.

Unbelievable views
We had a wonderful week in this modern property, with huge terraces from which to enjoy the views across the Provencal countryside. Highly recommended. (Just bear in mind that you will need a car as the nearest village is a (hot) 20+ minute walk away.)

Fabulous view and villa
We were 4 couples together in the house, and it was wonderful. Great view, the pool was nice, plenty of space in the home and a well-equipped kitchen. We enjoyed the proximity to great vineyards, Avignon, and Nimes. Communication with the owner was good, and he responded to questions quickly. The only thing I would note, just because it's different than other VRBO properties I have rented, is that there was a separate contract to sign after booking.

Americans in Avignon
We were very pleased with the house. We are spoiled Americans with very little knowledge of the French language which caused a minor misunderstanding of water heater control. Everything was great.

Fabulous villa!
It was everything as advertised. Location was somewhat remote but it was beautiful for sunrises and sunsets. Rooms and gathering spaces were exceptional! I highly recommend it!

Le miellure vue du rhone
What’s an amazing place. My wife and I and a group of friends traveled here to celebrate my 40th birthday. It is a place that no pictures can do justice to. The Sunrises in the morning will take your breath away. A beautiful house with plenty of space for everyone. Jean-Pierre was a wonderful host. He met us on arrival and gave us very detailed instructions about our stay. It helped to make the stay smooth to know the operations of the house. I hope there is a day in the future in which I get to stay at this wonderful villa again!
