Idyllic hideaway near picturesque village
We were fortunate to book a last minute stay in the last week of June. The house, garden and pool facilities are immaculate and Sebastian & Anna were very welcoming hosts. We had lots of great tips from Sebastian and visited some sights around the area. The small town of Sainte Cecile-les-vignes is within walking distance, but really you need a car to travel around.
The house itself is beautifully decorated with all modern amenities. The air conditioning is not the typical sort, but works by pumping air under ground to cool it. We were comfortable in the unseasonably hot weather, and as things cooled it was even better. The shower and bath seem new. The pool is very lovely and set in beautiful surroundings. There are plenty of spots to laze around, whether there are two of you or more.
Our highlights included:
- coffee at the Tabac in town;
- a walk up the Toulourenc river (actually walking in the river!);
- dinner at CVG restaurant and a short wander home;
- Carrieres de lumieres;
- Plan de Dieu wine (!);
- Zou-zou the pig, at a nearby farm;
- lunch at l'Epicurien, Vaison la Romaine.
In short, we could not have wished for a better stay and were very lucky with the booking we made.
