Villa near Avignon, comfortable, garden, swimming pool

The villa was very good and had everything we needed. It was situated close to a supermarket and was an easy walk to Villeneuve centre. The facilities in the villa were excellent and the checking in and out was stress free.

First impression good although soon realised that renting a car essential due to location. Friendly and obliging person at check-in but first floor air-conditioning not checked prior to our arrival and found to be not working. Family members had to sleep in lounge. Other problems experienced with using facilities not helped by inaccurate and misleading guest information in ‘Practical Information’ folder.Efforts were made to minimise our discomfort and solve problems but didn’t save our disappointment.

We had a fantastic week in this Villa. We are a family of 5 with small children 2,3 and 7 the children had a great week in the pool and visits to the beach which was around 1:30hrs drive away and definitely worth the drive. Large villa with everything we needed. Fantastic check in and communication with the owner. Would highly recommend. Thank you

Firstly, all of our interactions with the owner and the lady who handed the property over were excellent, which always inspires confidence that all will be well. Which it was. The living space was really excellent and worked very well for us (parents, 3 male offspring between 16 and 21). Kitchen had everything you need. Plenty of loungers for outside. Pool 8m by 4m and the water was changed very frequently so it was very, very clean. I’d guess it was 1m 40 cm deep. Anyway, just the job for swimming, bobbing about and playing games with balls! Bedrooms are a fabulous, very large en-suite which opens onto the pool terrace, a double with balcony upstairs and three other rooms with combinations of singles. All a good size. There is also a bathroom/ separate wc upstairs and a separate we downstairs off the large entrance hall. Our children said it was the best sleeping arrangement they’ve had in several villas over the years. There is air con throughout and it seemed very efficient, although we tended to use the upstairs one only. Downstairs we just opened all the fantastic sliding doors onto the garden. The garden is a decent size and we enjoyed a competitive games of boules each evening. Do come prepared with mosquito repellent though! It is a few minutes drive to an excellent Carrefour supermarket with plenty of parking. The roads are very, very quiet. We drove every morning to load up with drinks and would often saunter back in the afternoon, a pleasant 12 or so minute walk each way. Decent pizzas available in same commercial zone as well as a very good pharmacy and bakery. You can walk into the VERY pretty and interesting Villeneuve in about 15 minutes. There are a couple of cafes with outside seating, but we didn’t use any of the two or three restaurants. The walk back is a bit of a climb and will probably take 20 minutes. Plan your route carefully, though because the naming of roads doesn’t exactly correspond with google maps! We drove down stopping in Crecy sur serre and Valence and on the way back in Beaune. This was good as we only took about 2hr steady driving on the Saturday of arrival. The A7 is bonkers on a Saturday so stay south of Lyon on the Friday! You could also do Eurostar and get the number 5 bus up to within 10 minutes of the house. This bus also whisks you to Avignon in about 13 minutes and costs a Euro per trip. Yes, can definitely recommend a stay here. We came back very relaxed until the Dartford tunnel...

We stayed at the property last week in August 2017 and were massively impressed - the pictures on the website do not do it justice. There is a massive amount of space and a very secluded garden. The house has everything you could possibly need, lots of thought gone into the stocking of it's contents. We had regular contact with the owner who could not do enough to help us and was easily accessible for any queries. The only tiny negative thing was that the extensive amount of tourist information at the house was in French. All in all an excellent property which made for an brilliant holiday in Provence.
