The Artist’s retreat is a beautiful, light filled space with windows facing the mountains and the town. You can hear the Sorgue rushing by. The outdoor terrace is a lovely space to relax and enjoy nature. Sleeping with the windows open lets in the breeze cooled by the river. You will find everything you need for a comfortable stay. There are 2 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. Kitchen is well appointed. Joanne is very attentive and available to help with any needs that may arise. I spent 3 weeks here and enjoyed being based in Fountaine de Vaucluse. It is a beautiful haven. I cannot recommend this stay highly enough.

We had an unforgettable week in this charming apartment, perfectly located near the Fontaine. It’s thoughtfully equipped with all the essentials and then some. From the chilled bottle of rosé waiting in the fridge to the compact JBL speaker that set the mood as we relaxed on the terrace. The terrace itself is a highlight, offering breathtaking views of the mountains. A heartfelt thank you to our wonderful host Joanne for making our stay so memorable.

Truly paradise!

A lifelong freind and I chose to celebrate our 60th birthdays here. We spent 3 delightful weeks in this beautifully rustic home in the most picturesque village I could imagine. The host was perfect. The atmosphere relaxing. To many businesses disappointment, I rarely give perfect grades. But to this... I rate it a perfect 10! Ther is not one thing I would change. Thank you, Joanne!

This house is a gem!

This house is a gem, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Joanne and Valerie were both very welcoming and helpful when we arrived. The house itself is charming. The kitchen, dining and living rooms are very clean, spacious and inviting, but the true beauty of the house is its outdoor space. It was great to come home each day and sit on the patio and look at the mountain views. We never tired of it. The location of his house is fantastic as well, as it's tucked away and very quiet, yet you are only minutes away from the village center. Fontaine de Vaucluse is a sweet town, and the river is beautiful. We enjoyed kayaking to L'Isle Sur Sourge, and Fontaine de Vaucluse is a great base to easily explore other towns and areas of Provence. We were sad to leave and hope to be back again soon. We will definitely stay here again.

Ein kleines Paradies mitten im ältesten Teil von Fontaine de Vaucluse, perfekt ausgestattet, selbst Kaffee stand bereit und gekühlter Wein zur Begrüßung. Die Vermieterin ist sehr nett und kümmert sich hervorragend. Einfach die Treppen runter, und schon steht man auf der alten Steinbrücke über die kühlene Sorgue. Auto kurz unten abstellen zum Laden ist entspannt. Große Parkplätze sind am Ein- und Ausgang des Ortes reichlich vorhanden und mit der includierten Parkkarte umsonst. Das rauschende Wasser und die Zikaden waren die Begleitmusik. Hin und wieder laden abendliche Feste zum Mitmachen ein( 3x in 2 Woche bei uns im Juli), das ist dann in der Wohnung nicht zu überhören, Ende war immer vor 24h. Jederzeit wieder!

Magnifique appartement dans un très beau village au pied de la Sorgue avec une vue sublime à partir de la terrasse et sur le château des Evêques accroché à la montagne. Nous y avons demeuré trois semaines et tout était parfait pour nous. L'hôte était toujours disponible pour répondre à nos besoins. Maison très bien équipée dans un décor enchanteur. Nous aurons un grand plaisir à recommander votre location, merci pour tout Joanne.Jacques et Florence

Wir wären am liebsten dageblieben.

Das Haus ist wunderschön und erhöht gelegen am Fluss mit beeindruckendem Blick zum Chateau, Ort und auf die Felsen, die je nach Lichteinfall immer unterschiedlich aussahen. Es war bis ins Detail sehr liebevoll ausgestattet mit allem, was man zum Leben brauchen könnte. Im anliegenden Terrassengarten tanzten bunte Libellen zwischen Blumen, Oleander und dem Mispelbaum. Die Gegend ist herrlich, die Quelle war imposant und im Ort gab es einige gute Restaurants. Die Lage ist strategisch günstig für Ausflüge in die Luberon-Bergdörfer und nach Avignon. Die Vermieterin, Joanne, war sehr sympathisch und engagiert und stand mit Rat, Tat und Ausflugstipps zur Seite. Unser Liebling war der Gartenzwerg mit Ausblick, wir fühlten uns wie zu Hause.

Everything we dreamed about

We had a list of criteria and this property met all our expectations. We wanted a small village to call home for a month, a place with a selection of good, reasonably-priced places to dine, some shopping, and sights. A house with two bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, kitchen and laundry facilities, and if possible, some character. We didn't want a generic modern place. This little stone house was perfect for our 4-week stay. The owner met us when we arrived and showed us the basics for the house; whenever we had any questions, she was just a text message away. Without question the terrace was the best part of the house - the view of the limestone cliffs was amazing and we had some lovely meals sitting out there. We did a ton of sightseeing, using Fontaine de Vaucluse as our base and I must say after facing the traffic out of Marseilles and Aix, I was so happy that we chose a small town. FdV is small - just the one boulangerie - but because it's also a tourist destination, there are more restaurants and shops compared to other small villages. For groceries, it was a short drive to L'Isle sur la Sorgue. We hated to leave!

Peaceful Retreat in a Beautiful, Bustling Village

We really enjoyed staying at this quaint house in the heart of the village and Joanne was a wonderful and attentive owner. The house is beautifully decorated and full of quirky character, while providing comfort and convenience. Two clean and modern bathrooms are a definite advantage. We spent many evenings enjoying the secluded, furnished outdoor patios, soaking in the marvellous views and sunshine. Thank you for helping to make make our Provence experience wonderful Joanne!

A wonderful, fabulous stay

This house was exactly what we wanted from a place to stay in Provence. The house is historic, lovely and charming and yet has all of the updates needed for a comfortable stay. The kitchen had everything we could possibly need to cook our own meals and we visited the farmer's market in the next town numerous times for the freshest, best ingredients imaginable. When we didn't want to cook, there were great restaurants right in the town. Probably my favorite part of the house is the lovely outdoor terrace. We had our breakfast out there every morning and watched the light change on the limestone cliffs. The river is just below the house and we could hear the water rushing by. We were there for a week during some of the highest temperatures ever recorded in the area but the thick stone walls and closing of the shutters kept the house comfortable. The house is located right at the lovely town, but it felt private and removed from any bustle. Most mornings one of us would walk over to the bakery and grab a pain au chocolate and croissant to bring back for breakfast. The river through the town, castle ruin (which is easily seen from the terrace) and short hike to the spring headwaters is every photographer's dream. It is an easy drive over to all of the other well known Provence towns too. The house was spotless. We are a family of 2 adults and 2 children (ages 11 and 14) and the space in the house gave us plenty of room. There is definitely room for more. We could spread out for some private reading time or gather around the large farm table for a game of cards. The terrace had a large table where we could also eat and gather. The owner, Joanne, went above and beyond to help us with anything we needed and helped us navigate a few travel hiccups. She was always available for any questions and I am not sure I can adequately express how well she runs the rental of this house. Honestly, the house looks and lives like something out of the perfect Provence movie. I would love to stay here again sometime. It was a great vacation!

Heart of the Village & Unbelievable Views

Our family of four had a wonderful week at this property. The views were exceptional and the summer kitchen was a real treat. The house is rustic in the very best way. It was as clean as a whistle and had everything we needed. Joanne was absolutely lovely to deal with. Highly recommended.

Our stay was outstanding!

The property is a bit quaint, but that added to its appeal and our experience. The location was very central to all the villages we had planned to visit. In the evenings it was very quiet. We particularly enjoyed the ability to forage at the area markets then return "home" to prepare and enjoy a variety of meals. The villages offered many wonderful photo opportunities. The owner was very gracious and helpful. This is an experience we will recommend to our friends.
