This year was our second stay with Frederic and Christophe, after we fell in love with the property last year. We returned with the highest of expectations, which were created due to our stay last year. It blew our expectations away! This year they added a poolhouse which makes the perfect location even more perfect!
The location is breathtaking. It is in the middle of wine-country, situated in between the midst of the grapevines. It has a spectacular view of Mont Ventoux and has nothing other than complete peace and quiet! A perfect place to stay and enjoy the sun, the pool and of course the area and its wines!
The house itself was to our exact taste, as it is designed with a modern taste, very well executed to our opinion. We stayed in both the Loft and the Suite, and both are great! But what is more important is the outside where you will still most of the time, which is amazing. Like I said, nothing but peace and quiet to get away from it all by the pool or in the poolhouse, or to take a stroll through their vinyard.
The owners are just the nicest people you will meet, and will always be open for questions, tips, a small talk, but also very much respect your privacy.
The region is great, with Cairanne as a nice quaint little village. For a bit more to do, go to Vaison la Romaine which has a market once a week (do not miss!!). And of course all of the wineries in the neighbourhood, with Chateauneuf-du-Pape as the main attraction. Visit this little village, but also the vinyards in the surroundings.
In conclusion, Mas Akenes has reset the benchmark for us, and we will definitely stay as a recurring guest! Cant wait till next year!
