This is a treasure of a house! The house and property are much lovelier than the photos show. It is a clean, well equipped home, with comfortable beds, quality linens, large rooms, very large bathroom with oversized tub and separate shower. The kitchen is very well equipped with everything to prepare great meals. The gas stove is a treat for those who love to cook. The kitchen would benefit from a wooden cutting board (it has a glass one), but everything else is provided. There is a large and comfortable outdoor seating area (with 2 tables, seating 6 and 8). The garden area is enormous, with plenty of space for children to run and play, with a swing set and some outdoor toys available. There are walking paths in the wooded area along the canal, and our children had great adventure walks. There is a pool (not heated) that we only splashed in as we visited in early spring. It is easy to monitor the children playing in the garden, from both the outdoor area and inside the house.
Host also lives on the property, and is very discreet, but available if needed. The property is close enough to do day trips in the region, nearby villages and wineries, as well as within an hour’s drive of Le Pont du Garde, Orange, and only 30 minutes from Avignon, and Arles (among Others).
We communicated with the host in French. The one small wrinkle we had is some miscommunication about bed linens and towels being included. The host lists on a French site and has a note that linens are not included. This comment was not translated to the VRBO website, but we managed to resolve the issue without problem. We highly recommend this property, especially for families. We were a party of 6: grandparents, parents and kids, and wish we could have stayed longer. It is a gem of a find to spend time as a family, enjoying nature and the gorgeous region. We have stayed at many private home rentals, in several different countries ( and several continents) and this is the best property we have stayed in so far! Highly recommended!
