Guest Reviews

One of the most idyllic locations

We have waited four years to travel to Europe as a family again, and being here nearly made the wait worthwhile! Thank you for a wonderful stay in one of the most idyllic locations we could possibly hope for. Nous avons hâte de revenir!

Did not disappoint!

Beautiful views, immaculately clean, and high-quality Internet. We loved it! The surrounding villages offer outstanding restaurants. We used the house as a base for day hikes. With temperatures soaring, the pool was very welcome in the late afternoons.

Fabulous holiday villa!

A beautiful villa with lovely big air conditioned rooms though out. Large bedrooms with quality beds and stunning bathrooms, the villa was very well appointed immaculately clean and beautifully decorated! Outside we dined under the wisteria covered courtyard, and just a few metres away from the child safe fenced swimming pool. Both Monteux and Carpentras are just a few minutes drive from the villa, Avignon is a short train ride away and Marcelles airport is 1 hour by car. The villa owner, Eric and his two sons Alexis & Frank were absolutely charming and could not have been more helpful. We look forward to returning in the future to spend more time exploring the area.

Perfect.

Beautiful house, beautiful location. Quiet, safe and easy access to St. Remy de Provence. Beautifully appointed and equipped. We didn't want to leave.

Great location for a family holiday

Villa was very spacious and worked well for us as a mixed age family group of 14. Shallow steps going into the lovely pool were perfect for our two year old granddaughter. Wonderful views and only 5 minutes from Maulacene for shopping. Some air conditioning in the bedrooms would be nice especially on the top floor.

Mas Carpentras is ideally set up for large family or couple groups

We loved many aspects of the house which has been thoughtfully renovated and presented. Found near the end of a paved forest road its about 3km from the nearest intermarche in Carpentras. The network of Country lanes allows easy access to the surrounding towns and villages of Ventoux without having to always go through Carpentras. Location is ideal then, remote enough to be completely private (with good security gates) but no neighbours to bother about disturbing. No expense has been spared in providing facilities for guests enjoyment - a new tennis court, lovely deep swimming pool ( which was a Godsend to cool off!), trampoline, swings, table tennis and fabulous grounds which must be 160m x160m grass at least. Perfect for a game of tennis, cricket or to practice some golf. Outdoor BBQ is well set up with a large wisteria covered terrace for much needed shade. We were there for 2 weeks in the very hot period of 2022 ( exceptionally high across Europe) seeing 36-37 each day. The bedrooms are spacious . a number have cots. The main bedroom on the top floor had air con and its own bathroom with shower over bath. The other 3rd flloor bedroom was accessed by a step staircase. Downstairs bedrooms were linked with the shower and bathroom off the 1st bedroom - so works for perhaps parents and kids but less so for 2 couples. Our opinion was the bathrooms are a not quite the same standard as the rest of the house but thats quite subjective and are perfectly adequate, clean and functional. With being away for 2 weeks some of us needed to still work and attend some video conferences - with perhaps being remote the internet is weak and we did need to rely on 4G mobile data for most internet use. The mobile signal was adequate if not strong. Just something to be aware of. Mejdi welcomed us and could not have been more helpful, we managed to communicate well enough esp via Whats App and google translate!. Any queries we had were addressed immediately - they also provided a mid stay clean and a thoughful basket of garden produce fresh from the garden. Kitchen well equipped with excellent oven and american fridge freezer. Highly recommend - just check who would need to use what bedroom or who likes a shower rather than a bath. Doubt would find anywhere with a better outdoor space.

Vraiment parfait ! Really perfect!

Superbe maison, superbe jardin, calme, proximité commerces de base, accueil chaleureux de la propriétaire ...et magnifique région!

Superb house, superb garden, calm, close to basic shops, warm welcome from the owner ... and a magnificent region!

The home was wonderful for a family reunion.

The house is wonderful and the photos do not do it justice however, it is not as described on the website. Four of the bedrooms are on the 2nd floor (3rd floor for the US). The bedrooms on this floor have 1 bathroom per 2 bedrooms. The other 3 bedrooms (in the main house) are on the 1st floor (2nd floor for the US). It has a master suite with private terrace and bathroom (shower/sink/WC). The other 2 bedrooms have a private shower and sink but share a WC. The guest house has 2 bedrooms with a shared bathroom. Overall it was great but we had small children (due to the shared bathrooms) on the 3rd floor which was a bit difficult. Overall the home was beautiful but would have liked to have a clearer picture of the bathroom situation.

Wonderful Location! Incredible House!

This house is located within the amazing village of Isle sur la Sorgue. The location of this house allows you to walk to everything: restaurants, shopping, antique markets, boulangerie, supermarket, churches. It was a quiet oasis away from the hustle and bustle. There were 5 of us (women in our 50s) in the entire house. We loved the courtyard and the little fountain. The indoor pool was refreshing and we swam every night to cool off. We visited during the hottest days in July. The house did not have air-conditioning (although I believe the floors were cooled). So we did find some of the nights a bit uncomfortable even though we religiously closed the wooden shutters every day to keep the sun out. There were fans in all the rooms so we used those at night. Mother Nature just sent the heat - so it was hard to find cool spaces. But we cannot say enough good things about this house. We thought INGRID was the BEST hostess ever! She was super responsive (we used Whats App) and so wonderful. There was no access to a washer/dryer during our stay so Ingrid arranged for Sandy to wash our clothes mid-way through our stay. We had a chef come and cook for us in the kitchen for one evening; he agreed that the kitchen was well stocked. All 5 of us want to come back again. The house is HUGE and the courtyard is magnificent. The 5 of us would absolutely return. Perfect location in an amazing village.

Lovely two weeks

This villa is in a very central but rural position in the Luberon, with beautiful views. It is quiet, with thick farmhouse walls which was a boon in the extreme heat we experienced nearly every day! The pool was lovely and the steps very easy for the older members of the family with creaky knees ! The villa is very well equipped especially the kitchen, with masses of plates, cutlery and utensils. It has been tastefully decorated throughout. We didn't use the Chef service as we have a chef in the family and enjoyed food shopping and doing our own thing! We found the owner's manual really helpful as far as market days, wineries and restaurants were concerned. We had a very happy two weeks in Provence in spite of the temperature hovering around 40 deg C every day !

I just wanted to say how much we really enjoyed our stay.

I know that J has already been in touch, but I just wanted to say how much we really enjoyed our stay. I had forgotten how beautiful it is. We had everything that we could possibly want. You have thought of everything especially in the kitchen! I don’t think there is a view anywhere as good as in the bath! Having those steps to the pool is a godsend as xx is not great on his legs and it made all the difference and with the pool. Geraldine was great and very helpful. You have found a very special place and we love the village it’s so peaceful but everything you need.

Great holiday with family and friends

We had a wonderful week in Provence - the area is gorgeous with beautiful little hilltop towns to explore. The villa is luxurious and has everything you could wish for. The pool and facilities were amazing we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. Thankyou x

We absolutely loved our stay

We absolutely loved our stay at this Villa. The location is close to town yet was a great jumping point to many different day trips. Our kids loved playing in the pool each day and we really enjoyed cooking and eating outside every night. We would absolutely love to stay here again!

Magnifique maison Magnificent house

Magnifique maison dans un décor de rêve

Magnificent house in a dream setting

Une merveilleuse expérience ; parfaitement décoré A wonderful experience; perfectly decorated

Une merveilleuse expérience ; parfaitement décoré, avec un vaste parking intérieur pour nos voitures, nous avons pu déjeuner à l’ombre ou au soleil car elle dispose d’une terrasse couverte très appréciable en été ! Nous avons pleinement profité de sa belle piscine chauffée avec nos enfants ! Un + nous avons eu également accès à la salle de sport.

A wonderful experience; perfectly decorated, with a large indoor parking lot for our cars, we were able to have lunch in the shade or in the sun because it has a very pleasant covered terrace in summer! We took full advantage of its beautiful heated swimming pool with our children! A + we also had access to the gym.

This place is absolutely perfect

This place is absolutely perfect. The house is big and great for families or groups and the yard & pool are beautiful. The location is also great and walking distance to stores, restaurants and museums. The hosts were very nice and helpful. I definitely recommend this place!

Magnifique maison, ce fut une semaine parfaite Wonderful house, it was a perfect week

Magnifique maison et très bien entretenue. Ce fut une semaine parfaite. Nous recommandons cette maison sans aucune hésitation. Lors de notre prochain séjour en Provence, nous louerons à nouveau cette maison. C'était parfait!

Beautiful house and very well maintained. It was a perfect week. We recommend this house without any hesitation. During our next stay in Provence, we will rent this house again. It was perfect!

A stunning property and the perfect honeymoon

The Bastide was an extraordinary property, a main building and a couple of side dwellings, surrounding a sensational courtyard where we spent most of our time. The courtyard was strung with festoon lights which created a delightful glow every evening, and the whole setting felt like our own private valley. There was tons of space, the rooms were all spectacular in their different ways, and we had everything we needed for a perfect week. A highlight would be getting in a private chef via Provence Holidays, and a masseur, and Nathalie the representative from Provence Holidays who stayed in close touch and we extremely helpful. The villa was on the more expensive end of the spectrum, but it was a once in a lifetime trip and this property made it truly magical.

The house is simply amazing

We could not have felt more lucky to have found this home. Th house was beautiful, clean, well stocked and much bigger than even the description let on. The kitchen was fantastic and the pool (which was huge) and yard spectacular with amazing views of the Alpilles. The town of Eygalieres was amazing. The midweek cleaning was a nice touch and the house looked just like when we arrived!
