Luxury Holiday Home in Gordes - Reviews page 2
Dream come true
There were 16 of us all ages arriving from Wisconsin and Minnesota...none of us knew what to expect only hoped that our stay could be half as good as other reviews! We played tennis--even at night, rode bikes through the countryside of lavender, poppies and rolled bales of hay. Ate on patios, cooked fabulous meals,went to markets, sang, laughed, enjoyed all kinds of beverages, and played Marco Polo in the refreshing pool. It was perfect!!!! Thank you
A simply stunning villa
We stayed at this amazing property for a week in July with our family, 17 in all. Everything about the villa is superb and we could not have had any better place to stay. The villa is very spacious,in fact the website photos do not adequately desccribe it. The bedrooms are very comfortable and some have their own sitting area. There are several libraries of books, litterally hundreds of books. The kitichen is very well equipped and for the enthusiastic cook it is a dream. There is a barbecue area and 2 outdoor areas to dine. There is a play room for children and the generous owners provide equipment for tennis and other games. The views are stunning. The manager, Kaye was very helpful, advising us where to shop and attending to any of our needs. She is a cheerful and generous person. We were lucky enough to stay during the lavender season and took advantage of the lavender field on the property to have a professional photographer come and take photos of our family. I cannot recommend Avalon strongly enough whether you are a family or a group of friends.
A romantic and ideal family retreat!
My husband and I got married at the home in June. Both of our families had a very relaxing, intimate, exciting week. It was an easy drive from the airport, about an hour. We werent given an address, so we got there by GPS coordinates. The property and home were both more than we had hoped for. The grooms family stayed in the bergerie, which was very accommodating and only a short walk from the main house. The lavender field in front was in full bloom! The main house was really fun to get to know, because of its unique floor plan. It was really fun to get lost in and wonder about. Everyone had lots of privacy within the home. We felt like we had gone back in time. The decor suited the architecture, but also felt modern and comfortable. We loved having big dinners in the dining room or under the pergola at the pool. The view from the kitchen was great and we spent a lot of time in there cooking. We also enjoyed cooking on the grill by the pool. We really enjoyed the lighted tennis court! We were only a short, 10 min drive from Gordes (which u can see from the house) and short drives away from the other Luberon villages. The house managers were kind enough to have some groceries, champagne, and flowers waiting for us and everyone's name was pinned to their bedroom, to avoid any confusion. All in an unforgettable trip, and I would be ecstatic if I ever got to stay there again! 1 weeks was not long enough.
