Home description
Nestled in a quiet corner of the Luberon, overlooking the famous Mont Ventoux, Gite St Jacqueline is one of two new properties, built specifically for holidaymakers who are looking for an authentic (and comfortable!) taste of life 'en Provence'.
The gite is very clean and good value for money. The owners have used an open plan design and kept it simple and stylist with tiled floors and tasteful furnishings. There's a double bedroom and a spacious mezzanine level with 2 single beds and a folding bed - perfect for a family of 4 or 5.
Although you're in a rural setting it’s actually only walking distance to the small village of Methamis where you can pick up your morning 'pain au chocolat' or baguette.
The owners of the Gite are locals and farm grapes on the surrounding land. They offer a warm and friendly welcome, and can provide lots of information about the local area should you want to do a bit of exploring.
It's understandable if you just want to relax by the pool, admire the stunning views of the countryside around you, read a good book or sip aperitifs on the shaded terrace.

The Provence Alpes Cote d'Azur / Vaucluse region
This location has the convenience of being close to a village, but is also ideally situated for exploring all that’s on offer in the surrounding countryside.
If you like to wander around the local Provencal markets, you’ll be spoilt for choice! Bedoin Carpentras, Vaison, Mazan and many other towns in the area are well known for the excellent Paysan Markets where you will find local produce, grown and sold by some real characters!
The local landscape is dominated by vineyards, country roads and quaint villages, all gently basking in the Provencal sunshine.
Overlooking this vista is the giant of Mont Ventoux. This is a 2000m summit that is famous for the challenge it poses to serious cyclists. If you are in the car, it also makes for a great day out with stunning views on a clear day! (Have a look at our Cycling in Provence pages here for more information about Mont Ventoux)
With good restaurants in abundance in this area, it’s not difficult to spoil yourself – holidays aren’t for dieting!
If you like a tipple, a well-trodden wine route starts at the door of your Villa. Vaqueras, Gigondas, Cotes du Ventoux and Cahteauneuf du Pape are all well known great wines of the region and are all within a thirty minute drive (Just make sure you have decided who’s driving back!)
Methamis area
If you are feeling a bit sporty, cycling, walking, rock climbing, horseriding, golf, quad biking, canoeing and even Paragliding can all be found within 30 minutes drive.
Further a field but within easy reach, you have the attractions of some of the South of France’s best known towns: Carpentras is the closest town and Avignon, Aix en Provence, Orange, Marseille and the Carmargue National Park are all under an hours drive.
