About the home

Located in the Drôme Valley, the gate to Provence, the villa of La Forge, 185 m2, is part of the Domaine de Vincenti, our family country estate for more than 4 centuries. We have built our villa in the charming stone building of the ancient farm and provide our guests with top-of-the line comfort, fully equipped facilities and the most elegant settings, with lots of light and space and many children-friendly amenities. The surrounding valley offers all sort of opportunities for outdoors, sports, cultural events, wine & food tasting, the discovery of old villages, small restaurants and traditional markets..., and it's only 1 hour and 15 minutes from the mythical cities of Lyon and Avignon...

Flowers in the summer and a warm log fire on cold days

The Rhone / French Alps / Drome region

The Drôme Valley is right in between Lyon and Avignon, in the South-East of France. The climate is almost Mediterranean, with 2400 hours of sunlight/year and, usually, very dry summers. As always in the South of France, you can expect some windy days, it's part of the landscape in the region! The Drôme River flows through the valley and is very clean, allowing plenty of kayaking and bathing in the summer. Our property is located in the countryside and the pace of life is peaceful and tranquil, all geared towards enjoyable vacations on site, simply relaxing in the park. Within less than 30 minutes, in the Forêt de Saoû, the Pre-Alpes or the Vercors, one can find magnificent hikes in open nature. The area is also well suited for lovers of old villages, Provencal landscapes and local markets where sympathetic farmers sell their products, fruits, vegetables, olive oil, garlic, truffles, goat cheese..., with a chanting accent. For the sports oriented, biking, running, climbing, golf, horseback riding, adventure rides, are available year-round in the area and it's easy to rent bicycles if you haven't brought yours.

The Crest / Divajeu area

The small town of Crest is only 3 kilometers from the Domaine de Vincenti. You will find there everything you need during your stay: 4 supermarkets, gas stations, bakeries, cafés, bookstores, pharmacies..., and a lively Saturday morning open market...

Visit the Medieval tower of Crest, and the region's many old villages, often perched on hilltops: charming little towns with artists, small shops, bistros and unassuming restaurants. A bit further out, at about 1 hour and 15 minutes, the "old town" of Lyon and the Pope's Palace of Avignon, both offer world-heritages sightseeing, together with the joyful opportunities of these bursting cities. Year round, look for and choose from the numerous cultural events offered in the region. In the summer, you can even have a day at the exceptional Festival of Avignon

Within 40 minutes, visit also some of the famous wine makers of the Rhône Valley, at Tain l' Hermitage (Crozes Hermitage) and the surroundings wineries (Cornas, Saint Joseph…). In Die, about 30 minutes from Vincenti, taste the famous Clairette, a delightfully light sparkling white wine and about an hour to the South, discover the gentle hills of the Nyonsais, with its many lavender fields and its great variety of red wines, produced there since the Romans. If you need to celebrate a special event and love gastronomy, the famous Restaurant Pic in Valence, at 30 minutes, has been awarded 3 stars on the Michelin Guide.

Vincenti is located near the Rhône Valley, in the South East of France. Most of our guests reach us by car. You can drive there very easily from the A7 or A49 highways. We will give you detailed directions at reservation. Our place is simple to reach and we will warmly welcome you at your arrival. If some of your party comes by rail, the easiest is to take a high speed TGV to Valence (only 2 hours and 10 minutes from Paris) and rent a car there or get a bus/train connection to Crest and hop on a taxi when you arrive. We are 2 miles from the train station. However, Vincenti is located in the countryside, about 2 miles from the nearest town and if you come by train, and we recommend that you rent a car in Valence. If you come by plane, the nearest airports are Lyon (1.30 hour) and Geneva (2.45 hours). You would need to rent a car there.
