Absolutely fabulous!
We stayed at the Villa the last two weeks in September, travelling from the UK with our dog, Harry. The villa even has air con which we had not considered as a plus until we found ourselves baked in temperatures of 30 degrees and more at the end of September.
This villa will easily accommodate 6-8 people, ideal for families. However, the pièce de résistance regarding this property is on the outside. The pool is magnificent, well maintained and accessible. The villa has an ideal vantage point enabling you to watch idyllic sun and moon rises from the spa area. The Jacuzzi provided welcome warmth as the sun set and extended our day lazing by the pool.
Outside there is ample seating and lounging facilities as well as plenty of space to play. Being a couple we possibly did not make full use of the outside space but for a family this would be an absolute delight. There is a good sized BBQ which we did not use but this villa encourages outside living to the max and no better way to spend your evenings if you enjoy al fresco dining.
You have the best of both worlds, the villa is in a lovely quite rural spot but within easy walking distance of the town with its ample bakeries, shops, cafes and restaurants. The food on offer is excellent and most menus are translated into English. The locals were really helpful and friendly which was really useful with neither of us being fluent in French and dogs are very welcome in this area. You are also a short drive away from the Pont du Arc, not to be missed. Don’t forget to drive up to the viewing point which can be accessed out of the car park and turning left and just head upwards till you plateau, it gives wonderful panoramic views.
The owners, Gerard and his wife Patricia, have also been very accommodating and remained involved from the booking date. Gerard gave us the name and location of a recommended vet which was helpful in getting Harry compliant with his Pet Passport before travelling back to the UK. Gerard and Patricia also stopped by to ensure we had everything we needed. Due to having sound knowledge of the area they were both able to point us in the direction of the wonderful villages to visit. Whilst there we visited St Monton, Vogue, Balazuc and Labeaume (the last two on Gerard’s and Patricia’s recommendation) and they are a must for anyone visiting the area and only a short drives from the villa.
Thanks Gerard and Patricia for helping us to make wonderful memories.
