About the home

Gite St Sophie is perfect if you’re looking for calm, tranquillity, open space and ‘real Provence’

It sits in a lovely location, at the end of a farm track, surrounded by 7 hectares of vineyards. Throughout the year the landscape and colours change and the in summer the vines come right up to the terrace of your gite.

The Gite is a traditional building with a large and welcoming dining kitchen, a cosy living room and interesting ‘millers’ stairs that lead up to double bedroom. You may find it hard to get out of bed in the mornings as from a horizontal position you can look out of the bedroom window and admire the fantastic view of the Luberon hills.

There is a 8 x 4 m private pool, adjacent to the Gite, ideal for cooling off and admiring the views of the surrounding countryside. The pool is protected by an alarm.

Despite it’s rural location, this gite is only 3 km from the small town of Pertuis, which is really convenient for shops, cafes and restaurants.

This place is ideal for a couple or family with 1 child who want a relaxed and comfortable holiday home away from the crowds.

If you are a family or group of 4 people, there is an additional second bedroom with an en-suite bathroom that you can rent. This is independent to the gite with a separate entrance, so not suitable for young children.

Facilities

Further details indoors:
The owners of Gite St Sophie live in the farmhouse close by and aim to make your stay as relaxed and enjoyable as possible.

The gite is well furnished and includes a few interesting and antique artefacts! The living area has French doors leading onto the terrace, and is comfortably furnished with a leather sofa bed, coffee table and TV, as well as a welcoming open fireplace.

The kitchen/dining area is well equipped with all the appliances you’re likely to need, in including a fridge, freezer, oven, washing machine and dishwasher. There’s also a large solid wood dining table and chairs for up to six people.

The double bedroom is located up a set of ‘millers’ stairs in the attic. The stairs may take a little getting used to, but the view once you’re up there is great!

In this property, there’s a shower room with separate WC.

Additional accommodation - The owners have recently built an ensuite double bedroom close by the original building. This can be rented as an addition to the Gite St Sophie – perfect for slightly larger groups! This costs an additional £130 per room per week during the high season, and £105 per week during the rest of the year.

Further details outdoors:
If you visit during the summer, you’ll probably spend most of your time out on the terrace or relaxing by your own private pool (8 x 4 m). There’s plenty of garden furniture and space for eating outside and admiring the view. If you perfer to cool off inside, the Gite has air-conditioning.

Further details

Bed linen and towels are included in the cost of your holiday and provided by the owners

If you visit between October and March, there is a small additional cost for winter heating.

The owners ask for a damage deposit of 100€ upon arrival, which is of course fully refunded to you at the end of your stay, less the cost of any breakages.

The Provence Alpes Cote d'Azur / Vaucluse region

The winding roads of the Luberon, with spectacular views, are great to explore and you'll find lots of charming villages (Gordes, Menerbes, Maubec, and Bonnieux) on the doorstep.

If visiting is your thing, you really are spoilt for choice. From the Roman architecture at Arles, the Palace of Popes at Avignon, and the cultured avenues of Aix en Provence to the local vineyards, the Carmargue National Park and the Regional Park of the Luberon, there really is too much to do in one visit.

The sea is under an hour away, with the beautiful Callanques of Marseille to explore as well as any number of the local fishing ports you can find on the coast.

The Pertuis area

Despite its quiet location, your gite is only a short drive from the town of Pertuis where you'll find shops, bars, cafés and supermarkets

If you fancy a more rural approach to shopping, there are some great local Paysan Markets. Every day of the week, in a host of villages nearby, local growers gather to sell their produce; Springtime brings fresh strawberries, green and white asparagus, cherries in May and June, with tomatoes olives garlic and courgettes all grown locally and available practically all year round

If you are feeling energetic, the hills around the gite have some great cycling and walking tracks, there are tennis courts available in Pertuis and this area is perfect for climbing and golf.

Guestbook for Gite St Sophie

We loved the gite; it exceeded the photos online! The owners were welcoming and helpful, but discreet. The pool was perfect.

Ms S, Cambs, UK, August 2011.

We really liked it and the gite was ideal for my husband and I for a week 's holiday. The cottage is cute and had everything we needed. Well situated for sightseeing. We liked being in the middle of nowhere as it was very quiet. The owner Jean Louis is very friendly and fascinating to talk too. There was a problem with the pool as there was a major storm on our first night which transformed the pool into muddy green water but JL dealt with it promptly and with a good sense of humour. The only thing we did not like is that there is no security barrier in the bedroom around the stair area and it would be so easy to fall and seriously injure yourself! Every else was great and we will no doubt go back again.

Mrs E, Berks, UK, August 2011.

We have spent excellent holidays better than we expected.It was the quiet retreat we hoped with a beautifil view on the " montagne sainte victoire " and the vine yards.We loved this self catering and the surrounding area of Luberon.We would like to come back there another time.

Mr L, July 2011.

Excellent, better than we expected. We loved the gite!

Miss O, London, July 2011

We were pleased with it. I had doubts about your company because you are not ABTA registered but these were unfounded. The property wouldn't be to everyone's taste as it was rustic but it was in a beautiful setting and provided all we needed for 2 people. The owners were helpful. We felt it was a proper French experience rather than a posh villa on an estate. The views could be made more of in the blurb. The stairs were quite scary! Pertuis has little to offer but the South Luberon was lovely and an area we didn't know. We had an excellent holiday.

Mrs W, Bucks, UK, June 2011

Overall simple but very good, access to upstairs rather precarious. Owners very welcoming & helpful. Very satisfied.

Mr W, Arundel, West Sussex, September 2010

Excellent - this was our 2nd visit and our daughter and son in law have stayed there as well. Very Satisfied

Mr H, Kent, UK, July 2010

Just the quiet retreat we were hoping for really - great setting with friendly owners made us feel welcome there , this accomodation suited us very well and we had a very peaceful time there. Very satisfied.

Ms D, Dublin, July 2010

Absolutely fabulous!! Better than expected. Very Satisfied

Mrs B, Perth, Australia, June 2010

The accommodation was very good value for money.

Dr H, Dublin, August 2009

The Gite was lovely, and the private pool was a big surprise. Aircon would not have gone amiss, and we understand that will be put in this autumn

Mrs B, Zuid-Holland, August 2009

We had a wonderful holiday - the gite was delightful and peaceful and the owners were extremely welcoming and friendly! We were extremely pleased with the service from your company and will be looking to book Gite St Sophie again!

Mrs C, Dorset UK, August 2008

Gite St Sophie was excellent. Pretty well exactly what we were looking for. Many thanks for the trouble Colin took following our telephone enquiry.

Ms R, Colchester, Essex, August 2008

Accommodation was clean & well presented. Location was very good. we were a party of 3, couple and 1 single & it worked out well. Owner very nice & helpful.

Miss C, Richmond, Surrey, June 2008

Superb. Very well equipped, beautiful location, very friendly owners who respected our privacy whilst also making it clear they were available to help.

Mr L, Tunbridge Wells, UK, July 2008


Lovely place, exactly as described - owners friendly, available, yet discreet - brilliant privacy (which is just what we were looking for) - we were always alone at the swimming pool and it felt as if it was our private one, just for us! (by the way, the "short walk" to the pool as described on your web page really WAS a very short walk... thought it would be further, so a nice surprise) - extremely clean - everything we could hope for was available. The only negative - bed was bit hard but we loved the place!

Ms M, Geneva, September 2007

Excellent accommodation and nice location.

Mr C, Warrington, UK, September 2007

Very nice. The owners were incredibly friendly and helpful.

Mr C, Canada, April 2007

We were very happy there. The premises are quite quaint with the unusual upstairs loft/bedroom, but we liked it. We also liked the privacy by not being overlooked. Our hosts were very friendly.

Mr M, Surrey, March 2007


Fantastic location and pleasant accommodation. Owners were helpful whilst respecting our privacy

Ms S, Derbyshire, September 2006
