Malaucene cottages

This is a lovely little second floor gîte. Only two rooms plus a bathroom and balcony but everything you will need including a red squirrel, a view of the vines and air conditioning. It is comfortable, well equipped and tastefully decorated.The owners make this clear in their description but it wouldn’t suit people with limited mobility or small children. The tiny hamlet is close to a number of famous wine villages with restaurants ranging from the hearty to the refined. There is much to see within striking distance, the top of Mont Ventoux or the Pope’s Palace at Avignon, for example. The place was spotless and the manager solicitous from the start. She texted to warn us, for example, that the water was off due to an accident and offered to bring us bottles. We were fine as we were wandering around a street market in Orange and it was fixed by the time we got back. One minor plea, can you add an oyster knife please to the well equipped kitchen? I managed with a waiter’s friend but it wasn’t easy. As I hope is evident, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would highly recommend staying here.

Gite was as discribed in the initial booking. Owners, all though there was a language issue we managed to communicate when needed. We didn't see too much of them which was a good thing. The only issue we had was the incline to the property from the car park to the cottage and then to the pool. My wife who has mobility issues could not manage to make the steps up to the very nice pool ares. Perhaps this is something that could be added to the initial discription. Other than that it was an enjoyable stay, we would return...

This is an excellent place to stay, very conveniently situated and in a quiet residential area. We are a couple and we’re lucky enough to have two weeks here. The house is exceptionally clean appliances that all looked new and it is very well equipped. We self catered every night and had everything we needed. There was lots of private outdoor space, comfy chairs and sun loungers. The area is beautiful, so much to see and do all within short distances. We could have easily stayed for longer. Loved the villages. We walked a lot, many routes locally. For those that run there was a good canal nearby. We want to say a big thank you for a lovely stay and such wonderful information as and when needed.

Beautiful location, peaceful but near enough to town. Gite has everything we needed

We love nothing better than a home from home holiday, no fighting for sunbeds etc Hosts we’re fantastic and accommodating to our none French speaking selves and like us delved into Google translate. Everything you need in the home and more. Will return in the future and would highly recommend.

We received a warm welcome from Muriel and Marie who were attentive but discreet throughout our stay. The property is very clean, bright and comfortable and fitted out to a very high standard throughout. The living area opens out onto a patio for al fresco dining, overlooking the pool and beautifully maintained garden, with flower beds and mature trees. There are seats, loungers and a hammock situated in various places around the garden and pool. The property is very conveniently located for nearby Malaucéne, Vaison la Romaine, Mont Ventoux and the Côtes du Rhone vineyards. All in all, a beautiful place. Highly recommended.

The cottage was absolutely charming - built from stone yet fully equipped with all the comforts such as comfy beds, great barbecue and other good cooking facilities, plus plenty of perfect spots to relax indoors or out. For those seeking peace and quiet in a rural setting it would be perfect. Lots of great walks, beautiful villages, meandering rivers and nearby attractions including Vaison la Romaine, Avignon, Orange and of course Mont Ventoux. We stayed a week, wish it was more, and have no hesitation in recommending to others seeking the best of rural Provence.
