Large charming cottage in Carpentras (prox. Ventoux Provence), calm of the countryside

We had a lovely week staying here. It is ideally situated to cycle to mount ventoux and the gorges de la nesque being very near to Bedouin. The swimming pool was lovely. The layout of the whole gite is a bit odd. The main house has two bedrooms. One of which is a double. But the other has a single, a bunk bed and then a mezzanine with another two singles. In another building there are four bedrooms and one bathroom. There are two doubles with single bedded rooms off of each. Then between the single rooms is the bathroom. You can lock the other door which goes into the other bedroom. But you would have to be a close family to use that building! There is also another building with a double bed and another bathroom. We we’re only given one set of keys so when we wanted to go out we had to make sure someone was there to let us in if we didn’t all go out together. We we’re a family of three couples, children, grandparents and uncle and aunts. So we didn’t all want to cycle up mount ventoux! Kitchen is also rather small if you are catering for 10 people. Outside table was a lovely place to all eat though and the views were amazing.

Very nice accommodation for a big group of people near the centre of Carpentras overlooking green surroundings. With a central dining room and big swimming pool. From there we made cycle trips to the Ventoux and other nice places in the neighbourhood. We will surely return in the future.

The cottage was very clean. The bedrooms are functional furnished, but you have everything you need for holiday. In the kitchen you have more than enough dishes etc. for a large group of people. The best thing about the cottage is definetly the very large, clean swimming pool! The cottage is close to the center of Carpentras but in a really quiet street. You can take a trip in less than an hour drive for example to Mount Ventoux, Avignon, Pont du Gard or Les Baux de Provence. Dominique and Jeanne are both very friendly and really try to make you enjoy your stay. There is only one thing you should be aware of: we stayed in August and had a lot of mosquitos, so take something against them with you. To sum it up: We had great summer holiday with the whole family!

Close to all amenities and yet on the edge of beautiful countryside. The house has superb views, a large swimming pool and plenty of rooms for multiple or extended families. It was comfortable and clean. The owners and friendly, helpful and unobtrusive. There are some minor things to watch out for: - Do read the contract carefully, for instance extra charges for linen and cleaning and check-in is 6pm, not 4pm as it says on the web-site - There are some trip hazards which are not well marked and my wife tripped on one of them. However, the owners were very helpful in seeking and medical attention for her Overall a most enjoyable stay and good value for money.
