Great stay at the heart of Provence

It was a very enjoyable stay in the heart of Provence, in a beautiful house overlooking the home's vineyard with great local wine from the owner and the opportunity to cool off in the pool

A special stay in Provence

Laura and her family made us feel so welcome and provided us with tons of local intel. The pool and outdoor areas were fantastic, giving plenty of options for sun or shade. We enjoyed taking the complimentary bikes out each morning, to make the short cycle into the village to get fresh baguettes and pastries. So much to see and do in the surrounding area if you can tear yourself away from the pool. Will definitely be back!

Amazing !!!

An absolutely delightful week with grown children and their partners at this beautiful place. Laura the host was fantastic with communication. The place itself was just stunning. A short walk to town where too many pasties were bought. Spent alot of time laying by the well kept pool and eating in the quaint little garden area. Want to return again as quickly as possible. The whole family loved it !!!!!

Gorgeous place - tranquil and comfortable

We stayed here for five days at the beginning of the summer, using the home as a base for exploring the beautiful region. We were thrilled with the whole experience. The house is located a short drive from a small town with a grocery store, butcher, and bakery. The house itself is on a beautiful property surrounded by a vineyard and olive groves. Our apartment, although attached to the main house, felt very separate from it, with its own terrace and a lot of privacy. There are three large bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, and a large living room and kitchen. There is also a shaded outdoor eating and sitting area. The apartment was clean and spacious and well-equipped. The beds were very comfortable. We were able to buy local produce and cook every day, enjoying the outdoor space tremendously. Even though we were there during summer, the thick walls, shutters, and ceiling fans kept us comfortably cool. The best part was the beautiful pool, shared with the owners and one other apartment. The setting was beautiful no matter where we looked! The hosts were gracious, informative and responsive. Within 30-90 minutes we were able to visit many wonderful villages and sites by car: Avignon, Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Uzes, Nimes, and Roussillon. This rental was a remarkable find, and we hope to return! Thank you to our wonderful hosts!

Excellent séjour

Magnifique propriété au calme, grande piscine, maison de charme et hôtes tres accueillants , disponibles et discrets a la fois. De gentilles attentions à déguster qui nous ont fait bien plaisir. Plein d'équipements pour cuisiner. Le 2e gite n'était pas occupé et nous nous sommes sentis comme chez nous. Les 3 chambres ont leur espace et leurs salles de bain (petit bemol pour 2 d'entre elles qui auraient besoin d'un petit rafraîchissement). On a beaucoup apprécié l'emplacement et le charme de ce séjour, au milieu des vignes.

Very comfortable!

Despite the stricter lockdown in April we really enjoyed our stay. With all the information about attestations and tips from the owners we could still visit several markets within a radius of 30 km's, for example in Uzès en Laudun itself. And the wine domains in Tavel and Chateau Neuf du Pape. Waking up with the singing of the birds and the rising sun form behind the Mont Ventoux really did give our stay something special. And everything in the house did function very well. Did make our stay very comfortable too. Thank you and we'll see you again hopefully!

Hübsches Ambiente auf einer Wein Domaine

Unsere großzügige Ferienwohnung Mit 3 Schlafzimmern und 3 Bädern war geschmackvoll eingerichtet und lies auch nicht französisches Flair vermissen. Die dazugehörige Terrasse war hübsch gestaltet und lud sehr zum dort Essen und verweilen ein. Es machte viel Spaß in dem großen Pool in wunderschöner Umgebung mit Blick auf die Berge in der der Ferne zu schwimmen. Alles sehr gut gepflegt von den netten Besitzern Laura und Thierry. Wir hatten das Glück während der Weinlese vor Ort zu sein und haben einiges über die Weinerzeugung gelernt. In der Gegend gibt es so viel zu sehen, dass wir in 10 Tagen gar nicht alles erkunden konnten und sicherlich gerne noch einmal wiederkommen würden.

Comfortable gite

Quiet, clean, spacious with quite firm beds. Very friendly and helpful English-speaking hosts. Two gites contiguous with main house, overlooking host’s field of organic grapes and pool. In small town 30 minutes from Avignon or Orange. A good location as a base for exploring northern Provence.

Wonderful stay

We were extremely happy with the accommodation provided by Laura. Very private outdoor area with comfortable chairs and table for eating at. Three large bedrooms all with ensuite bathrooms and good beds. The living room was also a good size, and kitchen/dining area also great. Two couples had lots of room, and everything was on one floor. Couldn't have asked for more, and with Laura's hospitality, it was just that little bit better.

About the host

Hosted by Laura Hicks d'Esperonnat

Host profile image
Thierry and I are a Franco-American couple. We bought and renovated the Domaine des Charmettes when we moved to this area in 2001.

Why they chose this property

We chose this area for many reasons. The first two that come to mind are the weather and our passion for winemaking and of course wine tasting. Other great reasons are the people, the Provençal markets, local food, the restaurants and all the different things to do and sites to see close by.

What makes this property unique

The Domaine des Charmettes is a haven of tranquility in a Povençal setting of grape vines, Olive, Cypress and Pine trees that takes you back in time. Having a glass of wine or the typical Provençal "apero" around the pool or on your terrace is perfect after visiting the local markets or Roman ruins.
