General Description

• This one’s a real gem, tucked away in the maze of vineyards that characterise this region. If the owner hadn’t shown us the route we would never have found it! (Don’t worry, comprehensive directions are provided!)

• If you crave idyllic Provencal tranquillity, fresh air, sunshine and magnificent views, this one has your name on it!

• This beautifully restored building is adjacent to the owner’s farmhouse and as their guests, you’re encouraged to make yourself at home.

• Use the beautiful gardens, play Boules on the terrain de Boules, explore the wooded parts of the 8000m garden or simply relax in the pool with a view!

• The locally born owners have managed to retain the charm of a traditional Provencal property whilst providing all the modern facilities you need, including some very useful air conditioning.

• There are two bedrooms; one double room and the other with adult bunk beds. There is a shower room and separate WC. The open plan living area has a fully equipped corner kitchen and dining table with 4 chairs. The Gite is air-conditioned, in case you need a break from the Provencal heat.

• The traditional stone fireplace compliments the exposed stonework of the walls and the high-beamed ceiling with skylight window make the place feel light and airy.

• There is a charming courtyard with a built in BBQ area and dining table and chairs for eating al fresco.

• Although we haven’t seen them ourselves, we are reliably informed that the sunsets are worth savouring from the garden. The owners’ suggestion is to grab a glass of the local wine, settle down and watch.
• Please note: This gite is not available for rent in July and August.  During these months it is rented alongwith the main farmhouse that sleeps 13 - please see

  Mas St Marcel for details.  

The Local Area

• Although you may feel miles away from life’s hustle and bustle, this gite is only 2km from the village of Bedoin where you will find plenty of small local shops and restaurants.

• If you like to explore the local Provencal markets, you’ll be spoilt for choice! Bedoin Carpentras, 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!)

• If you are feeling a bit sporty, cycling, walking, rock climbing, horseriding, golf, quad biking, canoeing and even Paragliding can all be found within 20kms of the village.

• Further a field but within easy reach, you have the attractions of some of the South of France’s best known towns: Avignon is just 30 minutes away and Aix en Provence, Orange, Marseille and the Carmargue National Park are all under an hours drive.
