It is elegantly and very tastefully decorated with plenty of space, light and charm. The domain has a park of more than 12 acres, with a tennis court, a swimming pool and children's playground.
“Le Fruitier” is a ground floor apartment, charming and romantic. It is suitable for people with reduced mobility. It directly opens to the park and the beautiful interior courtyard of our family estate. It includes a living room of 30 m2, a dining room and a kitchen, each of 25 m2 and open, two large and two smaller bedrooms, 2 bathrooms with toilets, a large hall and a washroom. The living room is very cozy, with vaulted ceilings, two sofas, TV, Wi-Fi, HI-FI, ancient furniture and a fireplace to spend comfortable hours by the fire. The dining table can accommodate 6 people; the dishes of white Limoges porcelain and the cutlery are elegant and you will be charmed by the simplicity, taste and purity of the decoration. The kitchen is fully equipped with many accessories and appliances: stove, oven, microwave, refrigerator, freezer, Nespresso coffee machine, dishwasher, food processor, steamer, blender... The laundry-room is hidden behind old wooden doors of the halls and includes a washing machine, a dryer, and iron and an ironing board, a vacuum cleaner... The villa is also equipped with an excellent gas-powered central heating system: everything has been planned for to provide you with a most convenient time in Vincenti. For the bedrooms, we have selected your bedding with great care, in order to give you maximum comfort. We also prepare your villa according to the specific needs of your family and the two large bedrooms can be arranged either with a double bed 180x200 cm (King size) or two separate beds 90x200. The two smaller bedrooms have single beds of 90x200. When you arrive at Vincenti, your rooms and your bathrooms will be ready, carefully prepared with quality linen, duvets and towels. If necessary, we add baby beds, high chairs and changing tables: we want to offer the best environment for your little ones, who will find some toys upon their arrival. We can also introduce you with a warm local food maker from whom you can order some family meals, salads, pizzas… which he will deliver at the Fruitier.

Gîte de qualité pour se reposer
Ce gîte a 2 superbes chambres doubles à chaque extrémités, et 2 petites chambres à lit simple. Il est judicieux de noter que les 2 petites chambres donnent sur la cuisine et la salle à manger, et que le mur est fait de baies vitrées, donc si vous avez des enfants sensibles au bruit dans la cuisine, ce n'est pas 100% idéal. Ce gîte a beaucoup de caractère, avec des plafonds voûtés, donc moins haut que la normale, mais il a l'avantage d'être plus frais. Même si il est situé au-dessous de l'habitation des propriétaires, on ne les entends pas marcher. il est de plein pied, et avec ses 2 terrasses (plein sud ou plein ouest), il n'y a que l'embarras du choix. Les lits sont plutôt fermes mais confortables. L'équipement est fidèle à la description sur le site. Le propriétaire Bernard se soucie toujours de savoir que tout va bien.

Beautiful, well-equipped charming place for our biking group
Our group of four bicyclists thoroughly enjoyed our week-long stay here. It was an excellent “base of operations” for our day trips into the surrounding mountains and countryside. The unit is incredibly beautiful, renovated with historical charm, and is very well equipped (we did our own cooking of meals here). The grounds (Domaine Vincenti) are stunning, spacious, and very quiet. We swam just about every day in either the unheated (yes even in early October!) or heated pool. Walking around the grounds in the morning was particularly relaxing and inspiring as the sun rose. What made our stay truly exceptional was how warm, engaging, and helpful the owners were. Excellent communication beforehand to answer questions and prepare for our stay. Bernard was very kind in getting us a proper bike map, and spending time with us to talk about the local area, things to check out by bicycle, and even an in depth history of Domaine Vincenti, clearly a passion of his. His sense of humor and interest in our explorations was very welcome and we wouldn’t have gotten nearly as much out of our trip without him. Brigitte was equally warm and welcoming and looked out for us as well. We also appreciated the thorough walkthrough at the start that Henriette gave us. Although the location was a bit outside of town (Crest), it was only a few minutes by car, and a great starting point for our daily bicycle rides. We hope to return and stay again. Merci beaucoup!

Wonderful place!
We loved our stay. It was an incredible property. Just two suggestions -- one is to provide ant traps -- apparently they like to come in before it rains and it would have helped for us to know that and to have more means to handle it. Also, it would be nice to provide more towels to guests. Just one hand/face towel for a bathroom shared by 4 family members was insufficient.

Magnifique domaine, gites très bien équipés
Nous sommes restés 2 semaines avec nos 2 enfants. La maison est magnifiquement restaurée et complètement équipée : cuisine au top, lave-linge et sèche-linge, literie impeccable. Le parc est énorme et très bien entretenu avec piscine, tennis, foret, ruisseau, place de jeux...le rêve absolu pour nos enfants. Vivement recommandé !

Magnifique séjour, une semaine enchantée dans ce merveilleux domaine
Suite à la découverte de ce merveilleux domaine lors d'une première semaine de vacances en famille en octobre 2017 (gîte les Agnelles), nous sommes retournés au domaine Vincenti pour une autre semaine de vacances en famille (gîte le fruitier). Nous avons encore passé de magnifiques vacances. Du domaine très bien entretenus, avec de grands espaces et des jeux pour les enfants, au gîte spacieux très bien entretenu et super équipé, tout est parfait pour une semaine de vacances. Nous y retournerons à l'avenir sans hésiter.

About the host

Hosted by Brigitte de Valence

Host profile image
Bernard and I both grew up in the Drôme Valley and we love this magnificent area of France, with its very diverse landscapes and its Provencal flavor. We have lived a long time in the US and in Switzerland and our large family, which lives in many parts of the world, has kept strong roots in this beautiful region.

Why they chose this property

The Domaine de Vincenti has belonged to our family for a very long time: 400 years. Bernard’s father worked here as a farmer from the 50s to 70’s. Since we took over the responsibility for the estate, we gradually restored it and, in 2016, we finished the complete transformation of its former farm buildings and converted them into luxury holiday homes.

What makes this property unique

Our villas and the park of our estate provide exceptional space, comfort and charm. The site and the region of the Drôme Valley are delightful and ideal for relaxing, site-seeing, active holidays and reunions with family or friends…
