Magnifique séjour dans un cadre de rêve.
Le logement est bien équipé et très bien entretenu. La literie est super comfortable.
Les 2 terrasses sont super agréables avec des belles vues. Il y a toujours la possibilité de se mettre à l'ombre ou au soleil. Merci beaucoup pour le bon accueil et merci pour la degustation de vos vins. Nous reviendrons!
- and more to come.
We just love the domaine - location with a superb view to Mont Ventoux. Great pool, great wine.
And - being a "regular" - nice to talk to Anna and Wilson again.
We can only recommend, recommend :-)
Stunning location in the countryside above Vinsobres village with fantastic views across the beautiful infinity swimming pool towards Mont Ventoux. The gite was perfect for our 2 week stay, well equipped kitchen and comfortable bedroom and shower room, large covered terrace and even a roof terrace off the bedroom. The owners were friendly and helpful and very informative about their winemaking and the wine was superb! Overall a fantastic stay thank you.
Très beau gîte entre vignes et lavandes, dans un écrin de verdure et de tranquillité. (à quelques kilomètres du village)
Très belle piscine, très propre et agréable.
Hôtes charmants à la fois discrèts et disponibles.
Le petit plus : dégustation du vin du domaine.
Vi havde 14 skønne dage i pragtfulde og rolige omgivelser. Vores værter var virkelig behagelige og imødekommende. Skønt sted - autentisk fransk vingårdsoplevelse.
calme et tranquilité reignent dans cette antre de verdure avec une vue imprenable sur le ventoux. Propriétaires sympatiques .Très bon vin car ils sont aussi récoltants. A ne pas rater.Bon séjour à tous.
Dans ce superbe cadre naturel, le gîte de l'Ancienne Ecole a trouvé son écrin - vignes aux alentours, plus loin les oliviers et les abords du Ventoux...
Accueil très apprécié des propriétaires et séjour inoubliable.
Merci pour ces très agréables vacances.
Tolle Ferienwohnung, traumhafter Blick, sehr nette Vermieter.
Wir haben einen erholsamen Urlaub verbracht, abends den leckeren Wein der Domaine und dabei die Ruhe der Umgebung genossen. Nur das Internet hakte ein wenig.
Danke und bis zum nächsten Mal!

A lovely get away in the hills above Vinsobres.
The small gite was great for a couple. Had a downstairs patio and an upstairs terrace so you could follow the sun or avoid it,whatever your pleasure.
We had great weather for September so the infinity pool was the real selling point.
Owners gave information as needed but were unobtrusive. They were British so being able to converse in English was also a selling point even though they are fluent in French and other languages too I believe.
The gite is basically appointed but sufficient for our stay. It’s modern design was pleasant.
Overall we had a very pleasant 6 nights there.

Wonderful peaceful place. Lovely swimming pool with great views. Fantastic night skies.
We had a lovely time. Accommodation was excellent, as was the pool. A very peaceful and relaxing place with beautiful countryside all round. Our stay was too short but we hope to be back again.

A wonderful place to relax.
The domain is located between Valreas and Vinsobre in a beautiful setting that offers many opportunities for hiking and excursions. The wine of the domain is a bonus.
The apartment Les Pré Alpes is very comfortably furnished.
The owners are very hospitable and helpful.

Séjour très agréable dans un environnement exceptionnel
Un très bon accueil dans un cadre magnifique. L'appartement est décoré avec goût, bien équippé et fonctionnel. Environnement très calme avec vue sur vignes et montagnes.Je vous recommande cette location, nous avons eu un très beau temps en début novembre 2017 et il y a beaucoup de choses à voir aux alentours, de nombreuses randonnées à faire également.

Les Pré Alpes du 18 au 28 juin 2017
- accueil chaleureux des propriétaires qui tout le long du séjour sont toujours disponibles
tout en restant très discrets.
- l' aménagement intérieur est esthétique, recherché et pratique.
- libre accès au " jardin " ombragé par 2 marronniers.
- piscine impeccable.
- nous avons apprécié le cadre, le paysage avec vue étendue sur les vignes, les champs de
lavandin, le Mont Ventoux sans oublier le calme généré par cet environnement.
- ce gîte convient bien pour un couple.
- lors du séjour, nous avons signalé à madame Thorburn qu'il serait pratique d'avoir des crochets à la salle de bain.

Très agréable séjour , mais trop court..... nous recommandons vivement aux personnes qui recherchent le calme.
Merci à la propriétaire Mme Thorburn pour l'accueil......

Lumière et sérénité pour le passage de l'année dans un gîte soigné.
La qualité de ce beau lieu peut être résumée par l'enchantement de la vue découverte au réveil de la première nuitée : des vallonnements doux, rythmés jusqu'à l'horizon par les vignes et les champs de lavande, le mont Ventoux bleuté qui domine paisiblement les ondulations des crêtes au loin. Lumière, silence, espace : un véritable paradis pour les amateurs de randonnée, en cette saison peu fréquentée.
Situé dans un corps de bâtiment d'une exploitation vinicole, le gîte est équipé soigneusement et décoré avec sobriété. L'hôtesse des lieux accueille avec discrétion et courtoise et fait généreusement profiter de sa bonne connaissance de la région.

Stunning location with fabulous views
The Gites are located in a wonderful and peaceful location. They are well equipped and modern. The infinity pool adds another dimension, an ideal location for a restorative and energising holiday.

About the host
Hosted by Anna Thorburn
I used to be a London lawyer, now I make wine.
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with this forgotten corner of Provence one Sunday in September 1997 when the local cycle race forced onto a detour through the vineyards. Some years later when we decided to leave the City of London behind we were drawn back to this beautiful area. We purchased the old farm buildings and surrounding land and vines in 2006 and created the Domaine in 2007. We now both work full time on the land and in the winery.
