Gilles and Isabelle continue the festive tradition of offering superb cooking enjoyed at a communal table, something not so easy to find these days. Guests feel like family at... read more a large holiday table--meeting people from France and other countries, learning about life in other parts of the world. My husband and I just had to return for this experience once again, this time for 8 nights. Both hosts speak English so communication among all is easily achieved.
Gilles is a trained chef and his cooking is to die for....
Rooms are very comfortable and the outside sitting area quite pleasant for a relaxing aperitif before dinner. Dinners and breakfasts are copious, delicious and good value.
The B&B is set back in a quiet setting of a vineyard- but also very accessible to a main road which makes it perfect for exploring a huge area of Provence: the numerous villages titled "the most beautiful villages of France", among them Gordes & Rousillon just next door and many others within a ½ hr drive. In about an hour one can reach Les Baux de Provence and the Carrières de Lumières, the Roman Theater & Arch in Orange, Aix-en-Provence, Château de Tarascon, Beaucaire, Abbaye de Montmajour, etc.
a wonderful stay -many thanks Isabelle and Gilles! we shall return More

  My wife and I were visiting Southern France and were seeking an inn in the Luberon area. This villa seemed nice ... and it was! The home is... read more expansive, with what appeared to be over a dozen rooms available. There is ample space to wander and relax outdoors, which includes a nice swimming pool and outdoor table. There is even a ping-pong table for guests to enjoy.

The hosts were fabulous. Giles is a gourmet chef, and his meals were the best we enjoyed in France. We are talking four-course meals here, with each course being fantastic. We had originally planned to only eat there the first night of our stay, but we enjoyed the meal so much we immediately made reservations for the next evening. All guests are seated at a long table and enjoy not only the meal, but Giles' explanation of the wine and food to be served. We even were treated to his son playing the accordion, which prompted a large group of French tourists to sing several songs! Delightful.

We did encounter one snafu. We had reserved our room nearly a year in advance, but upon arriving were told that there had been a plumbing problem so we were put into a very small, cramped room. We were moved to a larger, MUCH nicer room the following evening, but it was disappointing that our first night was in such a cramped room.

The villa is located very close to many wonderful towns, including Gordes and Roussillon. Giles and Isabelle are wonderful hosts.
