About the home

A restored stone farmhouse with a large secure garden overlooking the vineyards of the famous Muscat wine region of Beaumes de Venise. La Plantade is a traditional two century old three storey house with thick stone walls to keep the house cool in the summer. The property is surrounded by a wall with double gates and is located on a quiet road on the outskirts of the village of Beaumes de Venise, which is a short stroll away.

The south facing garden has a large well kept lawn, with a circular swimming pool, dining terrace, and many fruit and olive trees. The pool has recently been fenced to French safety standards. The house is bright and airy inside, with every room overlooking the garden and vineyards. There is excellent walking, plentiful wine tasting, and Beaumes has an abundance of restaurants and cafes. There is complete privacy.

Facilities

Further details indoors:
On the ground floor the dining room has a table for eight, natural stone walls and a tall arched window overlooking the garden. The living room has a large fireplace and double doors leading onto the terrace, which can also be accessed from the kitchen.

All linen and towels are provided. The house is cleaned at change-over, but the linen and house can also be cleaned on request if staying for longer periods.

Further details outdoors:
The garden is large and self enclosed with a good selection of garden furniture, umbrellas, BBQ, children's table and sun loungers for the terrace and pool. The pool is circular, provencale in design and looks out to the 'Dentelles de Montmirail'. Perfect for a sunset cocktail. The terrace is south facing and ideal for evening meals. The garden has a separate children's play area with swings and a slide.

La Plantade is a five minute stroll from Beaumes de Venise, a small market town with great character and lots of activities, dominated by a 16th century abbey. The town has all the shops needed for day to day living, and an abundance of traditional cafes, bakers for morning croissant, and restaurants, many with outside terraces. The streets are lined with plane trees.

The Provence Alpes Cote d'Azur / Vaucluse region

The nearby town of Carpentras, 12 kilometres away, was the capital city of the ancient "Comtat Venaissin" that gave its name to Beaumes de Venise. It was ceded to the popes in 1274, when the papacy resided in Avignon, and remained the estate of the popes until the French Revolution in 1791. Carpentras is situated at the foot of Mont Ventoux. This mountain gives views as far as the Mediterranean and the French Alps; it is also famous as a particularly gruelling stage of the Tour de France.

Further afield are the towns of Vaison La Romaine, Orange, Avignon, Nîmes, Arles, and Aix en Provence, all of which renowned for their Roman and medieval architecture, and feature open-air theatres where events are staged throughout the summer months. Every day there are excellent markets to visit where one can buy the freshest regional products. The town of L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue is well worth visiting, as it is full of antique shops. The cities of Marseilles and Montpellier, the beaches of the Mediterranean, the national parks of the Camargue and Vercours, and the spectacular caves and gorges of the Ardeche and Verdon rivers are all well situated for a day trip.

The Beaumes de Venise area

La Plantade is a ten minute stroll from Beaumes-de-Venise, a small market town with great character and lots of activities, dominated by a 16th century church. The town has all the shops needed for day-to-day living, and an abundance of traditional cafes and restaurants, many with outside terraces. The streets are lined with plane trees. Beaumes-de-Venise is famous for its sweet white wines made from Muscat grapes. It is one of the celebrated villages of the Côtes du Rhône wine making region, and has a visitor’s centre where one can taste the wines, take a tour, and view the wine-making process.

Caves can be found in the cliff faces, which are used as wine cellars. Beaumes-de-Venise also has a large tourist centre which hosts many exhibitions from local artists and can offer advice for tours and activities. The olive oil co-operative is in the centre of the town and one can sample the oil and tour the mill.

One kilometre to the west towards the town of Vacqueyras is the chapel of Notre Dame d'Aubune, an excellent example of Romanesque architecture. The magnificent hillside villages of Gigondas and Séguret are both well worth a visit; both have excellent restaurants. There are many marked trails in the hills for both cyclists and walkers.
