  • We spent a delightful month in the Murier house at Crestet in March 2008 to escape the Canadian winter. Paul and Erik were so helpful and knowledgeable and the house was exactly as depicted on the internet. The location provided a great balance of rural and urban, being so close to Vaison and yet with the stunning views of Crestet and Mont Ventoux. I think we explored just about every town in the vicinity, saw so many historical sites and sampled a great selection of food and wines. Happy to recommend it and will definitely be back.

  • The rains were the worst, by many accounts, since the flooding of 1992. Visibility, on the winding road from Le Barroux, was minimal. We missed our turn, but found a public telephone in Vieux Crestet, and called for directions. The parking area was sticky with the Rhone valley clay that is good for growing grapevines, but little else. The air was pungent with the smoke of smouldering clippings from the vines. We were cold, wet and tired. Any sheltered spot would have looked welcoming. As Paul showed us our lodging, we came to understand that we had made a good choice. Over Paul’s shoulder, I saw my wife, Eleanor, smiling, silently clapping. This was our introduction to Domaine du Crestet. We were charmed. In years since, we have visited many times, and have come to consider DdC a second home. The conversation starts, again, as if there had been no pause. It seems that we’ve photographed every quaint farmstead, medieval alley, clothesline, windmill, and cluster of flowers within a day’s drive. We have memorized the market days for each village, and know when the bakeries open and close. We have learned the trail heads for the Grand Randonee, and practiced the subtle art of pétanque. At the end of the day, there’s quiet conversation, with wine, olives, and fellowship, in the courtyard. Our only regret is that our time there is limited. Our visits to DdC have been great adventure, and a most comfortable one. We cannot thank our hosts enough.

  • I cannot think of a more restful or delightful place to stay in Provence than Domaine du Crestet.If you are lucky enough to be there in season, the al fresco lunch and wine tasting events are not to be missed. Rooms are comfortable, clean, well maintained. Staff wonderful! They go out of their way to make your stay perfect.Many sight seeing opportunities and great restaurants in the area. Excellent for families, couples, groups. Don't miss it!

  • We had a delightful, week long, stay recently. The accommodations are exceptional, and the proximity to Provence's greatest treasures is an added bonus. I heartily recommend Domaine du Crestet to anyone traveling to Provence.
