We stayed in Bonnieux for the first week of July. We had checked many places online prior to booking this one and werent sure if we made the right call.
Was bonnieux the right village to stay close to? Would this home be ok for a family reunion?
Could the owner be trusted?
Our stay couldn't have been better and the fact that we made the right call with this home was confirmed during the our stay.
Bonnieux is a beautiful little village with nice little restaurants -from high to low end- , a beautiful market and really friendly people. Compared to overrun Gordes or Roussillon, Bonnieux provided the best mix of typical Provence village, with enough life and vibrancy, yet with low crowds -though I expect it may pick up later in July-. On the flipside Lacoste or Goult were beautiful too but a bit too quiet to our taste.
The home couldn't have been better. Clean, stylish rooms. Beautiful and large grounds. Located in the vineyards with a beautiful pool. Trampoline and table tennis for the kids. Multiple tables and chairs to have a meal with a different feel every time. And a 15' walk to the village. Perfect.
Finally our host was really nice and gracious. She clearly cares for our guests and to make sure our stay was perfect. Lots of information about local activities. Always very response and went out of her way to drop some family members off at the nearby bus stop on their way back to Avignon, after the rest of us had already left.
All in all highly recommended.
