This was a delightful gite outside the small town of Tarascon. A very old stone house in the heart of a working vineyard so that you feel you are a part of the winemaking that goes on here. Access to the property is clear and easy, through a gate with a key code. The gite has a well equipped kitchen, we cooked every night we stayed here. You are out in the country, (quiet at night) yet close to grocery stores and gas stations. The host Cecile is outgoing, warm and most gracious. Upstairs are 2 bedrooms, one with a queen, the other with 2 twins, and a separate shower/sink. VERY comfortable beds and pillows! Downstairs is the toilette. This gite is well equipped for 2 small children with a large yard for running around, or adults just lounging in the afternoon sun taking in the warmth of Provence. Highly recommend if you are looking for a quiet, outside type of environment. Perfect for one couple, or a couple with small children. Secured parking right on site. I would stay here again absolutely!

Peaceful and bucolic

A beautifully refurbished, centuries old stone house located on a working farm, but a quiet setting with no other neighbours, except the very pleasant owner, Cecile,who leaves you to enjoy it all in privacy. Very secure.

Lovely Quiet Villa

We loved our stay in this charming private villa on a beautiful active vineyard. The villa/cottage has everything needed to make it feel like home. We enjoyed cooking up our purchases from markets in the evening. The beds and bathroom are comfortable, and everything was clean and in nice condition. It was also helpful to have a washing machine The host, Cécile is friendly, welcoming, and helpful, communicating before and during our stay. The location was perfectly centralized for traveling to many of the most desirable towns by car. The town of Tarascon doesn’t have much to offer, so we needed to make the most of our trips out before returning to the villa. What a gorgeous place with so much to offer in nature, history, ambience, and markets! We didn’t want to leave!

Lovely Hideaway Near Tarascon

A lovely, comfortable, well appointed apartment with beautiful views of an historic estate. Cécile was most helpful every step of the way, including assisting us with navigating the French health care system. We hope to return.

Provencal Stone Farmhouse

Wonderful setting on a large vineyard and apricot farm. We chose this location as our home base for a 2 week vacation in Provence. We wanted to be halfway between Arles and Avignon, and drove all over Provence from here as well. Host Cécile is delightful. She offered us complete privacy and autonomy - the entrance and parking spot amongst the cypress trees are private - but we wanted to meet her and so glad that we did! Fascinating history and stories, and we learned how a vineyard works. C’était un séjour très agréable! Merci beaucoup!

Delightful home on a winery

This is the perfect location to explore Provence! Close to many Roman sites and stunning hill towns. Cecile's charming home is part of a very old and still active winery. It is quiet and peaceful, nestled among the vines and with views over a garden. Very cozy, comfortable and has everything you need to enjoy your stay. A lovely place to return to at the end of a days adventures. A short drive into Tarascon to many wonderful bakery, vegetable/fruit/cheese shop and meat shop ... everything was amazing. Cecile is a terrific host and very helpful. I wouldn't hesitate to return.

Peaceful in Provence

My friends and I stayed here for three nights while we explored the Provence region. The location was great to explore nearby towns. Cecile was an excellent host! The house was very clean and comfortable. We walked the property and admired her family's residence for many generations. We will be back!

The property is beautiful. It is in front of a big vineyard, so is peaceful and quiet.

We had a lovely stay. Cecile recommended great places for us to go which was really helpful. The house was exactly like the photos described and it was nice and clean and had all the things we happened to need, so it was well furnished. It is safe for children, and it is peaceful. I felt very happy with the rental.

Perfect location in beautiful Provence

Lovely characterful Provencal house in perfect location for visiting the local towns and villages, Arles, Saint Remy de Provence and Pont du Gard, all within easy driving distance. The house was very clean and comfortable with everything we needed for our 4 day break. Cecile was an excellent host, warm, welcoming and gave us plenty of recommendations of places to visit. It was our first visit to Provence, just perfect and we hope to come back. Thank you Cecile :)

Wonderful Property

We had an amazing stay at this peaceful and beautiful VRBO rental. The place is perfect for unwinding, surrounded by nature. Cécile, the host, was super easy to communicate with and always quick to respond. The location is fantastic for exploring the area. We loved visiting the Pont du Gard aqueduct—perfect spot for a picnic by the water. Also, don't miss dining at La Maison Penchée. The food is delicious, and their outdoor patio is lovely. Overall, this rental is a gem. Highly recommend for a relaxing getaway and as a great base for local adventures. Thanks, Cécile!

Lovely stay in the Provence county side

We had a wonderful time on the property. Cecile was a most wonderful host and provided us with everything we needed and also was very helpful in finding us local restaurants and shops. The beds were comfy and the kitchen was well stocked with items to make food with and most important, make coffee. Sitting outside sipping wine and watching the sunset was most magnificent!

Exquisite

An ideal location (a working vineyard/farm near Tarascon), a perfect, elegant little house and a generous, welcoming host in. Cécile. As a base from which to explore some of the best Provence has to offer, it’d be hard to beat. And if you’re looking for a place to just stop for a while and breathe in the beauty… this is it. We didn’t want to leave.

Lovely house, great location and super hospitality

We chose this house because it was between the two places we most wanted to visit - Avignon (20 mins drive) and the Camargue (1 hour). The house was very pleasant, set in a quiet location surrounded by vineyards. The bedrooms were neat and comfortable, the kitchen area was large enough to cook simple meals, and there was enough room in the dining / living area to eat comfortably and relax. Cécile and her family were very friendly and welcoming, and made us feel at home straight away. I can definitely recommend this house to anyone who wishes to explore this part of the Provence!
