Perfect place to relax
We stayed at Les Belles Balades for 5 weeks and loved every minute of it.
Isabelle was waiting for us when we arrived and she gave us a tour of the house and explained how everything worked.
The house is perfectly well appointed, it has everything one needs from cooking utensils to serving platters to iron and ironing board.
There were plenty of towels and linens.
The pool and terrace are fantastic. We saw beautiful sunrises and sunsets. The weather was perfect and we had dinner on the terrace just about every day.
One day our BBQ stopped working so we messaged Isabelle and the next day she brought and installed a new one.
The Boulanger/bakery is about a block away and his pain rustique is fantastic. Buy your pain au chocolate, walk a few meters and sit at the and the main plaza cafe to enjoy it with a wonderful cappuccino. You will feel you are in a French movie.
Rasteau is surrounded by beautiful vineyards and we took fantastic walks. All the paths are makes and easy to follow. Go to the tourist office in the main plaza and Sophie will give you all the information you'll need. On Fridays the tourist office offers an excellent informative walk around the vineyards which will help you get located.
Vaison-la-Romaine is 10 minutes away. It has many restaurants, a medieval village, supermarkets and their morning Tuesday market is not to be missed!
Biking, tennis and even ping pong were within easy reach. The neighbors and town people are very friendly and if you want to practice your French they will gladly chat with you.
Thank you Isabelle for a wonderful stay. We highly recommend your place and hope to return soon.
