A perfect spot in a perfect place

As others have said, this is a beautiful old house which has been done up charmingly and appropriately by the owners, but lacking nothing that you might need for a relaxing holiday. The roof terrace is the real star, however, with its dining area, barbie and, of course, the sunbathing four-poster bed. The views across vineyards towards the distant hills was wonderful at any time of the day, but the sunsets were often truly spectacular. The village of Villedieu did not disappoint either. For such a tiny place, it was well stocked with places to eat (including weekly visits by a pizza van and a paella van), a shop where you can order your morning croissant, and a variety of public entertainments, from jazz to Europop. A local vineyard also had a free weekly concert of young talent where you could enjoy their wine and a platter of organic food. Further afield, we enjoyed all the history (especially at Vaison), the walking and splashing about in rivers and swimming pools. Our thanks to Mandy and Ian, who were extremely helpful, before and after. There was only one downside: we had to come back.

Maison agréable, bien situé dans un village comprenant quelques commerces, calme malgré l'affluence de certaines heures. Les étages inférieurs, d'une maison ancienne, ont permis de ne pas trop souffrir des canicules à répétition. Hôte très disponible et attentif.

Séjour dans un joli village provençal

Séjour de 10 jours dans la jolie maison de Mandy et Ian, très agréable malgré la canicule. Heureusement des points d'eau aux alentours nous ont permis de profiter de cette belle région. Villedieu est un petit village ravissant et très animé avec sa place sous les platanes, ses restaurants, bar, concerts, .... Bref, un séjour fort agréable !

Traumhafter Urlaub - mitten im Dorfleben

Das Haus ist wirklich ein ganz wunderbares Ziel für einen Urlaub in einer (wie wir finden) der schönsten Gegenden der Provence. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen, die Lage des Hauses mitten im Dorf, die Nähe zum Dorfplatz mit Café, Restaurants und Dorfladen (und trotzdem sehr ruhig gelegen) und auch das Haus selbst, vor allem die Dachterasse mit dem traumhaften Ausblick. Das Haus ist sehr liebevoll eingerichtet mit allem was man braucht und idealer Ausgangspunkt für viele Ausflüge. Der Kontakt zu Mandy und Ian Moore war sehr herzlich, Fragen wurden sehr schnell beantwortet. Wir haben uns sehr willkommen gefühlt.

So Close to Heaven! Dem Himmel so nah!

What a stroke of luck! This charming accommodation leaves nothing to be desired. The owners have created a small oasis for themselves, which they trustingly make available to their guests. Not only the beautiful and tasteful furnishing and the unique view from the terrace put us in ahhhhs and ohhhs but we also appreciated the proximity to the central square of the place as well as the short distance to Vaison and Nyons. There is hardly anything more to add to what others have written here and the photos also speak volumes. The only thing we really regretted was that we did not have the opportunity to meet the very sympathetic owners in person and have a sun downer together on their truly celestial roof terrace. Thanks so much, Mandy and Ian for doing everything to make our stay in Villedieu an unforgettable one. H&E Was für ein Glücksgriff! Diese bezaubernde Unterkunft lässt keine Wünsche offen. Die Eigentümer haben sich eine kleine Oase geschaffen, die sie vertrauensvoll ihren Gästen zur Verfügung stellen. Nicht nur die liebevolle und geschmackvolle Einrichtung und der einzigartiger Blick von der Terrasse versetzten uns in ahhhs und ohhhs, wir haben auch die Nähe zum zentralen Platz des Ortes und den naheliegenden Orten wie Vaison und Nyons sehr geschätzt. Dem, was andere hier geschrieben haben, gibt es kaum noch etwas hinzuzufügen und die Fotos sprechen ebenfalls Bände. Das einzige, das wir wirklich bedauert haben, war, dass wir nicht die Gelegenheit hatten, die sympathischen Eigentümer persönlich zu treffen, um mit ihnen einen Sun Downer auf ihrer wahrhaft himmlischen Dachterrasse zu nehmen. Danke, Mandy und Ian dafür, dass ihr alles getan habt, um uns diese Zeit unvergesslich zu machen! H&E

Ein wunderschöner Ort/a wonderful place

Die Unterkunft hielt, was sie versprach: Das kleine Dorf war wunderschön gelegen, das Haus mit Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet! Das Haus und das Dorf waren sehr gepflegt. Die Menschen in Villedieu waren alle sehr freundlich zu uns. Auf der Dachterrasse konnten wir den Sonnenuntergang betrachten und am Tag die schöne Aussicht genießen. Am späten Abend saßen wir gemütlich am knisternden Kamin. Informationen zur besseren Orientierung im Haus und in der Umgebung erhielten wir vorab per mail und waren zusätzlich im Haus in einem Ordner verfügbar. Gebrauchsanweisungen zu allen Elektrogeräten waren griffbereit. Das Haus verfügte über eine Satellitenschüssel mit zig überwiegend britischen TV Sendern. Für uns persönlich war das ein unerwarteter Vorteil, da wir französisches TV nicht gut verstanden hätten. Uns hat es besonders gefallen, in der Region wandern/spazieren zu gehen. Trotz Schulferien in Frankreich war der Ort ruhig und bot einen idealen Rückzugsort vom Allag. Wir hatte wundervolle Ferien und wünschen uns sehr, wiederzukommen, in genau dieses Haus! The house fulfilled all our expectations! The little village is situated in a beautiful area, the interiour was picked out with loving care. The house and the village were very neat. The people in Villedieu all were very friendly. Sitting on the roof terrace we enjoyed very much looking at the sunset in the evening as well as we enjoyed looking at the fantastic landscape. Late at night we sat by the crackling fire in the living room. We received some information for a better orientation in the house and in the area via email before starting our trip. The information were also available in the house in a file. Manuals for all electronic devices were also available. The TV offered dozens of british TV stations. For us it was an advantage because we would not have come along too well with french TV. We loved to go for walks or hiking in the area. Though there were holidays in France Villedieu was very calm and a very good place to be free from every day live. We had a wonderful time and wish to come back, in exactly this beautiful house!

A WONDERFUL WEEK AT MAISON VILLAGE VILLEDIEU!

We have just spent a wonderful week at Maison Village in Villedieu. Ian and Mandy's house is beautiful. It is very traditional having kept most of the original features but modernised in a sympathetic way. The views from the roof terrace are superb, we spent many an evening there watching the sunsets! The house is well-maintained and fully equipped and there is nothing the owners haven't thought of. Villedieu is a lovely Provencal village, quiet in the day but vibrant with life in the evenings. It's in a great location, close to all the surrounding towns, countryside and places of interest. A good day out is to Vaison-la-Romaine, only 6kms away. There is a fantastic market there on a Tuesday, also the old Roman town and medieval hilltop quarter with a tranquil river nearby. Other good days out are driving to The Dentelles Mountain Range and Mount Ventoux. There is so much to do and see in this area. We would definitely recommend a holiday here and we will be returning in the near future!

The perfect Provencal hideaway

Our recent stay in Villedieu was what we were hoping for and more. We were keen to find somewhere we would enjoy spending time in,as well as a base to set off and explore the surrounding areas. The house certainly didn't dissappoint - it is a lovely place to be, is decorated stylishly and the view from the terrace is something I could never tire of gazing at. Villedieu itself is a very welcoming and friendly place and from there we were able to drive around the countryside and soak up the wonderful atmosphere of that part of the world. I've been to the Cote D'Azur many times before but never to Provence and I think it's safe to say that I'm converted - I can't wait to visit again. Until then, the workaday stresses melt away when I remember the sights, tastes, aromas and atmosphere we were lucky enough to savour whilst we weere there.

A perfect week in Provence

We spent a wonderful week in this amazing gite. The property was so unusual and imaginative but with everything you could need as a base for the hol. Luckily having great weather meant we could enjoy mornings on the sun decking catching the rays and evenings on the terrace with the barbecue full of steak! The village is idyllic, surrounded by vineyards for exploring and a central square which is always buzzing and full of life, even when the rest of France appears to have closed for the day! Villedieu is a perfect base from which to explore the region - with activities such as canoeing, walking, wine tasting all within an hours distance and even the coast not too far away! I would recommend highly and only wish I hadn't had to leave to return to work!

Beautiful home in an idyllic Provencal village

We can't wait to return. The owners ensured we were equipped with directions and comprehensive info on the house itself and the surrounding area, thus ensuring an excellent start to our first visit to Provence. The house, whilst centuries old, has been tastefully modernised, providing all the necessary comforts and equipment. A beautful outside space has been created at the top of the house, affording breathtaking views across unblemished countryside, much of it vineyards. Given the rural location, you can be sure of a perfect night's sleep. Parking is a few steps from the house, as is the village centre with two restaurants and the archetypal Cafe du Centre, the local watering hole where splendid wine can be bought by the "pichet" for a fiver. There is also a "Tabac" and "L'epicerie" nearby, as well as tennis courts and the local "Cave". The location is superb, you're just a few minutes from the Roman village of Vaison La Romaine, which has the area's, if not France's, largest weekly market and Avignon is a 40 minute drive. We only stayed for a charming and beguiling week, and left feeling that there was plenty more to discover.
