Location: Vaison-la-Romaine, Provence, France, Europe (In the Seguret vineyards, 5 miles from Vaison la Romaine)

Accommodations:  House, 5 Bedrooms, 4.5 Baths (Sleeps 10)

We have dropped the price on this exceptional property by 30%!

Our spacious 3500 sq ft house was built in mid-19th century. We recently renovated it, adding a large heated pool, terraces and gardens, and a new wing containing a dramatic living room, additional master bedroom suite, and a large dining conservatory.

We gained additional space and installed modern comforts (including satellite TV, broadband access and wi-fi) but kept the essence of Provencal style. All rooms are well ventilated and face South, with wide open views of vineyards and hilltop villages. There are many screened windows and French doors, plus airy, shaded conservatory on the ground floor.
`
Maid, pool and garden service weekly (more if desired) and gourmet cooking/serving is available for modest fees. We will also gladly arrange for food shopping to be done in advance, so you can arrive to a full fridge and pantry.

The house with its extensive lawn and gardens is on a very quiet dead end road among the vineyards of Seguret, designated "one of the 100 most beautiful villages of France." A major market town, Vaison la Romaine, is four miles away.

The layout and facilities are ideal for a large family or for sharing, with five large bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms. One master bedroom has five windows and three exposures; it therefore can get hot so we had it air conditioned. Four modern baths with tub and/or shower and two additional toilets. All bedrooms have plantation fans.

The sunlit 450 sq ft salon has 3 sets of French doors to the conservatory, pool and garden, ample seating and hi-fi. There are satellite TVs (with English-language news and programs, plus VCR and DVD players).

Dining options: modern eat-in kitchen, dining room seating 10, large dining veranda and a Provencal summer kitchen with BBQ/grill near the pool with plenty of garden tables, chairs, and an open dining / sitting terrace.

For more active leisure: great biking for racing and mountain bikes; hiking on the flat or on more challenging trails, including technical climbing in the nearby Dentelles de Montmirail; an 18-hole golf course 15 minutes away, and a tennis club (where you have guest privileges) even closer. There's even white water kayaking in season in the Ardeche Gorges.

Vaison la Romaine and Orange, with their archeological sites, cultural activities, fine restaurants and shopping, are minutes away. Avignon, the Papal city, is 25 miles away, and you can drive to Aix on Provence, Marseille and the Mediterranean coast in little more than an hour.

Music, dance and theater performances abound, and there are famed festivals - including opera in the unique Roman Theater in Orange, the Avignon Theater Festival, and jazz and classical festivals in Aix en Provence, and dance, theater and music performances in every town in the area. In Vaison la Romaine, most performances are in the outoor theater built in the 1st century AD by the Romans.

This is a very special home and not the usual rental variety. We want to share it with those who will love and respect it as much as we cherish it.

  • We spent two weeks in this lovely place. The home can easily accomodate two or more families. The kitchen has every amenity you would expect at a US home. The living rooms are bright and comfortable. The setting is exquisite. You are close to wonderful hiking, climbing and Cote du Rhone vineyards. We especially loved being close to Vaison and it's weekly market and the close proximity to other weekly markets. Roman ruins and other sites are all close at hand. This is a truly lovely home in a gorgeous setting. The housekeeper and gardener work to maintain the house at all times. The housekeeper is available (for a fee) to cook delicious dinners. Provence could not be better appreciated than it is here!

  • This is the most amazing home in which we have ever had the pleasure of staying. Luxurious puts it lightly when you consider the size, deluxe comfort level, and of course, the sparkling pool with a view of the vineyards. I cannot imagine anything better than sitting by the pool, enjoying a glass of wine and a good book. This place is beautiful, and no normal human being could possibly be disappointed with their stay here, except that eventually it must come to an end!

  • This house while incorporating every amenity and then some, retains the classic charm of Provence and exudes the warmth and comfort of “home” Too often a vacation destination does not parallel our anticipation; this idyllic setting exceeds all expectations. As a retired travel consultant, I have had the privilege of traversing the world but the days spent at this property in the Seguret vineyards remain among those rare singular travel experiences. It truly doesn’t get better than this!

  • If you want the most perfectly comfortable house in Provence, this is it. We have stayed here many times and know that nothing has been left to chance in making this the best house to rent. Vaison la Romaine is nearby, with its famous market and roman ruins, as well as many other hill towns to explore. And don't forget Avignon--not too far either. Don't pass this up---it's a winner.

  • I've stayed in this home twice and it's as close to paradise as imaginable. There's room for adults and older children to "have their own spaces." My daughter Jenkins, can't wait to return. Nor can the rest of our family! There's so much to do for every age bracket and the house is a dream.
