Use us as a base for those wonderful summer music festivals - Orange and Avignon just a short drive away.

This is a delightful spot with lovely gardens and surrounding area. The accommodation is attractive and spacious all of which are accessed by fairly steep stone steps. The kitchen is well-equipped with washing machine and dishwasher and the bathroom has a bath and shower. There is no TV but there is no need in such a peaceful place. A car is essential as the area is quite rural. There is a local small supermarket within walking distance and other larger supermarkets further away. Tim and Pippa are excellent hosts and produce a delicious welcome supper the first night of arrival. They have dogs, cats and hens so a love of animals is a help! The guests are always free to wander the gardens and enjoy the swimming pool. Tim and Pippa are not at all intrusive. Although the accommodation is on the more expensive side, it is worth it. |
