We returned a month ago from our 3rd visit to Les Vergers, and the fact that we have just booked it again for next year speaks for itself! The property is welcoming, comfortable and practical, as well as being always clean, well-equipped and well maintained. We also really like its location - it is just a 5 minute walk to the centre of Goult, which has an excellent range of shops and restaurants. The village has bags of character too, and it is always a pleasure to stroll around its streets and lanes, before enjoying a good meal at one of its 5 restaurants, or shopping at the boucherie, the Epicerie Maurel, the boulangerie, or the fish van which visits the main square every Thursday morning. It would be quite possible to spend a restful and relaxing holiday at Les Vergers without using the car at all, but we also enjoy visiting the many lovely villages and small towns within easy reach of the property - Bonnieux, Lacoste, Menerbes, Saignon, St Saturnin-Les-Apt, Gordes etc, etc. There is so much to see just within a 20-mile radius!Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, families with young children.
Owner response: We love staying there too! It is so pleasing that people want to keep coming back, and we are delighted we can share our holiday home with them. Now, in August, we are fully booked for summer 2013, and all with repeat bookings!

We enjoyed our week at Les Vergers and felt very much at home. It is exactly as the pictures shown, if not better. The agent met us and showed us how things worked. Everything was clean and in very good condition. The location was great for exploring - Avignon, Nimes, Arles, Saignon, Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Roussillon, Gordes...there was something new to see everyday. We had a couple of sunny late afternoons on the patio and can imagine that when the pool is open for the season, it would be quite an attraction. Grocery shopping in the area is easy. Maison Gouin (butcher) in Coustellet was impressive and we liked Leclerc in Apt as well as the Super U in Coustellet. I would recommend this property to anyone wanting a comfortable base from which to see the area.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, age 55+, families with young children.
Owner response: well, what can I add? Our feelings exactly. We can't be in Les Vergers all year round, so we are really thrilled to be able to share it with others who appreciate the atmosphere, the location, and the pace of life in Goult.

This is the most perfect house we've ever rented in France! You get everything you see in the photos & more. The location is great for relaxation - even with three children - so perfect in fact you have to drag yourself away from the pool to visit the many wonderful places nearby. During our stay we had visits from the cleaners, the gardener & the pool company - they maintain the property to an extremely high standard without interrupting your enjoyment. There is plenty of wardrobe space & a comfortable area for dining outdoors. Internet access was useful for the children when they wanted a break from the pool or ever present sunshine! I can't wait to do it all again..........Recommended for: Families with young children.

I stayed twice at Les Vergers. Both times the stay was wonderful. The description was accurate, the house clean and well-maintained, and the area perfect. The proximity to the bakery, grocery store, and cafe in town was great. Staying here gives one a taste of the real Provence.Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, tourists without a car.
Owner response: these are just some of the reasons why we still look forward to our own holidays at Les Vergers after 17 years! We just dont want to go anywhere else!

We love the house and the area. It is excellent value. We have nothing but praise for the way that Les Vergers is rented out. We appreciate being left to our own devices when we are there, but really like knowing that back up is available when needed. The whole process, from booking to leaving, is as hassle free as it could possibly be. Having wi fi this year transformed things for me as I was able to answer booking enquires for our own business as they came in. Logging on was straight forward. I don’t know of a nicer place to stay!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Hello Colin, just saying thank you for the rental of Les Vergers last week. My wife and I have enjoyed another wonderful week there. The weather was beautiful though not as hot as last year but still hot enough. The house was lovely and the garden has grown. Flore met us as planned and there wasn`t any problems. The pool man was there when we arrived so it was lovely and clean for our stay. Sadly we are taking a break from Provence next year, but it`s on the cards for the following year.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

About the owner: Anne and Colin have been in love with Provence for over 30 years. We have spent all our family holidays getting to know the region and its people. Now our 3 grown up children (and grand children) still want to spend time with us in Goult, and share the relaxing atmosphere of the Luberon. Colin is a surgeon, Anne has always worked in education. We can unwind completely at Les Vergers, sinking into a leisurely holiday rhythm, and soaking up the sunshine.
Why the Owner Chose Goult:
We spent 2 years working in Marseille in the early 1980s, and a friend introduced us to the 'hidden valley' of the Luberon. We just kept going back every summer after we returned to England, and decided we had to own a little part of it for ourselves. We love the views, the endless sunshine (over 300 days per year) and the pretty hill villages scattered round the valley. It is easy access from the A7 motorway, and within an hour drive from Marseille airport, 40 minutes from TGV at Avignon
The Unique Benefits at this House:
Step out of the front door every morning and see the constantly changing pattern of light as the rising sun makes a moving pattern of shadows on the ridges and gullies of the mountain across the valley. The garden has a secluded private pool, and stunning uninterrupted views across the valley. Enjoy the setting sun on the terrace by the pool, and eat dinner outside, cooked on our large fixed BBQ.
Within 5 minutes walk there is a baker, general stores, 3 restaurants, and a cafe-bar. Wine lovers can find excellent value and quality a short drive from home. Street markets selling local produce within easy reach every day.
Tennis courts 3 minutes walk, cycle hire close by, and quiet back roads for running a 3 mile/5km route around the village if you have the energy!
