Quiet House, Charming, Great Location

This is a gorgeous very old house in a perfect location in Vaison-la-Romaine - just above the bridge to the main market street, just below the medieval town, easy to walk everything and very peaceful and quiet. Vaison is a WONDERFUL place to visit and a great base for exploring Provence. Our host, Pierre, sent a detailed email when we booked the place, of things to do in and around Vaison- very helpful. He stopped by 3 days into our stay with wine for us! Very kind. The grounds are beautiful but seriously in need of trimming and maintenance. We did take most of our meals outside, at the table provided, as our weather was perfect. The house has no air conditioning, which we didn’t need, but just be aware. Unfortunately previous tenant(s) had put away cookware and dishes poorly washed (like visibly dirty) so we felt we had to wash everything before using. ( Everything's else in the house was very clean.) There also were no essential supplies in the kitchen (like paper towels, trash and composting bags, foil, etc.) so we had to buy all those items right away. The bedrooms are very comfortable, with wonderful linens; bathrooms/showers great, (there are only 2 toilets, both upstairs). The house is old with many steps in odd places, so care is needed and not suitable for anyone with mobility problems. All in all we loved the place, and would love to return sometime!

Familievakantie

Geweldig. Pierre is een zeer vriendelijke gastheer die ons gastvrij ontving in zijn prachtige huis. De communicatie verliep vlot, Pierre spreekt uitstekend Engels en leidde ons door het huis en de tuin (eigenlijk is het meer een park). Het huis aan de voet van de burcht en de oude stad is authentiek en sluit naadloos aan bij de omgeving. De inrichting is origineel en gezellig. We hebben een zeer relaxte week gehad met onze kinderen en hun aanhang!

Beautiful house with exceptional character

All six of us - two 17 year olds and 4 adults - couldn't get over how lovely the house and its grounds were. We felt transported to a different world, lounging around the pool and terraces. So much space in the house to relax too - loved the moroccan lounge, and loved the fact that it was obviously a well loved family home, not just an impersonal rental house. Such a boon to have a lively town and the medieval village on our doorstep. Many thanks too to Pierre for being so kind in picking up two of us at the bus stop, and being so helpful with local information.

A WONDERFUL TIME

After a small amount of confusion we managed to get in after a very long journey. The Pool and eating area are the focal point and we had breakfast, lunch and dinner outside and spent many hours by the pool. Weather was perfect. Both bathrooms are well equipped and the kitchen worked perfectly, Leading straight out to the eating area. Living room is nice and cool to relax and read even at 30 degrees plus outside. For location its perfect, Vaison is a large town with loads of bars restaraunts and loads of other shops, The market on Tuesdays was full of delicious but expensive food. You can walk to town in less than ten minutes, You have the old city above you and chateaus within 30 mins. If you love wine you are right in the middle of it and it is extremely cheap. All i would say is the garden needs some attention. Thanks Pierre. Salutations Paul

Anwesen mit Charakter

Wer ein Feriendomizil mit Charme sucht, ist hier genau richtig. Es war nicht alles perfekt, aber wir haben uns einfach nur wohlgefühlt. Neben 5 Schlafzimmern, 3 Bädern, einer großen Küche mit allem Komfort (u.a. Spülmaschine, Kühlschrank, Tiefkühler, Mikrowelle, Toaster, Kaffeemaschine) lassen sich noch verschiedene sonstige Nebenräume entdecken. In einem befindet sich auch noch eine Waschmaschine. Der riesige Garten, u.a. mit Pool, Wiesenflächen, Kinderspielgeräten (Tischtennisplatte, Schaukel, Trampolin), Grillplatz, Feigen- und Olivenbäumen, Anbauflächen von Gemüse, bietet sehr viele versteckte und verwunschene Ecken. Ein kleiner Bach fließt mitten über das Gelände. Die verschiedenen Bereiche sind über Treppen und schmale Wege zu erreichen. Die Lage des Hauses ist optimal. Die Altstadt von Vaison-la-Romaine mit ihren Restaurants, Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und dem Markt ist in wenigen Minuten fußläufig zu erreichen, ebenso wie die mittelalterliche Oberstadt mit der Burg.

Propriétaire serviable, bon emplacement.

La maison est parfaitement située pour tout faire à distance de marche. Il est très spacieux et dispose d'un immense jardin, mais il faut faire attention à cause des nombreuses pentes et escaliers. Il y a aussi une belle salle de bain rénovée. Certaines choses dans la maison ont besoin d'être rafraîchies. Il y avait quelques défauts mineurs dans la maison. La piscine n'était pas fonctionnelle pour nous à cause de la température. L'eau n'est pas devenue plus chaude que 21 degrés. Peut-être aussi ajouter quelques grands parasols à la terrasse qui fait face au sud. La communication avec le sympathique propriétaire s'est bien déroulée

La propriété est idéalement située : proche du centre-ville et des commerces, elle est pourtant située dans une zone très calme où vous ne serez pas embêté. De nombreuses activités sont accessibles à pied. Nous avons testé accrobranche, minigolf, et visite de domaines viticoles que nous recommandons. Pierre a été un hôte très agréable. Accommodant, sympathique et à l'écoute, il vous sera de bon conseil pour découvrir la région.

Emplacement idéal - Grande maison - Charme Piscine -

Un séjour dans une grande maison bien typique et charmante, et d'un immense jardin, extrêmement bien située où le cœur de Vaison se fait directement à pied. L'accueil fut parfait. La piscine en pierre a un charme indéniable. Nous conseillons sans hésiter. S'il fallait apporter quelques critiques constructives, je parlerais peut-être du manque de débit d'eau pour les douches et le manque d'entretien du jardin où les herbes étaient bien hautes.

féérique

le mas est idéalement situé entre la ville médiévale et la ville romaine. Tout se fait à pieds. La maison est propre, super équipée il ne manque rien. Les lits sont faits, le linge sent bon, c'est un régal. Parlons, du jardin ou plutôt du parc. La végétation est reine, il y a plein de coins et petits recoins. Source, bassin, ruisseau, grenouilles. Piscine magnifique on dirait un bassin naturel (en plus du vrai bassin avec des grenouilles). Il y a des fauteuils, transats, bains de soleil un peu partout et là où il faut.Pareil pour les tables. Nous avons pu utiliser le trampoline, la balançoire, la table de ping pong et la piscine (pour les plus courageux). Tout était complet et en bon état. Passons au jardin où en cherchant bien je suis sûre qu'on y trouve des lutins... En tout cas nous y avons organisé des parties de cache cache géantes que nous n'oublierons pas de sitôt. Chacun a fait preuve d'ingéniosité pour trouver des cachettes improbables. Bref on a trouvé ce qu'on était venu chercher. Les enfants qui ont grandi dans ce domaine ont dû avoir une jolie enfance. Enfin, merci pour l'accueil simple, décontracté et chaleureux à l'image du reste.

Vaison-la-Romain Farmhouse

Our experience of the farmhouse and property was a memorable one because it gave us a rearview look back in time. The comfortable terrace was a pleasant place to gather and rest after our busy days exploring the town. The large clean house afforded sufficient comfort and security to us and best of all was its proximity to a marvellous treasure- Vaison-la-Romaine.

Wonderful holiday for 3 generations

We were a family of 6 adults plus 3 small children and we had a blissfully happy 2 weeks in this gorgeous part of France. The house is perfectly situated at the foot of the mediaeval town - mere minutes away on foot to this historic treasure, and a few minutes more to cross the roman bridge into the bustling town and impressive roman ruins. The house was easy to find, with good secure parking for our 3 cars, and a massive park/garden to roam about in. Set in a vey quiet street, the farmhouse has 5 spacious double bedrooms, all with comfy beds, and a rather quirky arrangement of public spaces which worked fine for us. We spent almost all of our non-sleeping hours at the house living outside, eating on the big patio [table will easily seat 10] and relaxing down by the fabulous pool. It was just wonderful to have such a lovely pool as the centre-piece of our holiday, and it can be secured to stop small people accessing it without an adult. heated only by the sun it was perfect for those 30 degree plus summer days. The caretaker cleaned it each Saturday and was on call for problems - but he has no english. There are quite a number of concrete steps outside which toddlers would struggle with, but older children will have a blast and we will certainly come back when our 3 [maybe 4 by then?] are a bit bigger and use the garden much more. Trampoline, ping-pong table and playhouse are great assets for a family holiday. The only slight downside was that the house could have been a lot cleaner and some of the lights didn't work but overall we heartily recommend this holiday house. Although we didn't meet Pierre he was charming online, and very helpful and quick to respond to queries.

Lovely proerty in fantastic location

Short walk to the medieval city, but plenty of space at the property. A very enjoyable stay for 2 families with older children.

About the host

Hosted by Pierre Meffre

I am originally from Vaison, so I know a lot about local life. I practice road cycling and running. For these two sports, I can give you abundant advice about numerous courses in the region.

Why they chose this property

The Mas du Castel is our family house; it belonged to my grandparents. I enjoy every bit of it, and particularly the park, which I maintain all year round myself. This house is my childhood, the meals with my grandparents, the games in the garden.

What makes this property unique

The immense advantage of this location is its peacefulness and its proximity to the town centre. The large park allows for relaxing and enjoying the Mediterranean climate. The house is vast and cool in summer. It easily welcomes 10 people.
