Beautiful and very private property with a very helpful and discrete owner. Lots of typical Provence villages to discover within the hour.
We highly recommend this Holiday house.
We had the most fantastic relaxing holiday at this wonderful gem of a gite. Beautiful location and great accommodation. Marvelous swimming pool. Jean Louis is an excellent host. Very amiable and also discreet so he never intrudes. We loved his little dogs. What an absolute joy the whole time was. We would love to go back again and very much hope to do so. Thank you Jean Louis for your hospitality.

Wonderful little cottage with everything you could need, set in a fabulous vineyard.
Really great stay. A perfect place to relax or explore the Luberon and the outside space, pool and views were lovely. You can wander round the olives and vines on the estate! Owners have thought of everything in terms of equipment and are so helpful and welcoming, even lending my boyfriend his guitar for the duration of our stay and inviting us to the grape harvest, sadly on our departure day! Perfectly comfy beds and sitting room and well equipped kitchen! Local amenities and supermarkets close by in Pertuis and a great base for exploring the chateau route, villages and Luberon national park. Would highly recommend the property and the rental team who made the arrangements and advice on the area and property easy!

Nous avons passé un super séjour dans petit nid indépendant et isolé, dans un cadre magnifique (villages perchés, vergers, champs de lavande, vignobles, cigales....).Le de cette location est sans conteste la piscine privée.Jean Louis et Marielle sont des propriétaires sympathiques, discrets, et disponibles.Excellentes vacances
Es ist ein schöner Ort, um die Seele baumeln zu lassen. Das Haus ist klein, hat nostalgischen Charme und bei Bedarf steht der Hausherr Jean Louis mit Rat und Tat zur Seite. Man kann von dort aus viele Unternehmungen starten. Wir haben uns dort sehr wohl gefühlt!
Les hotes étaient très bienveillants, tres discrets , d origine belge ( Jean Louis etant vétérinaire a Pertuis ) le courant est tres bien passé entre nous .
Nous avons du écourté notre séjour vu la météo qui etait exécrable ( 4 jours de soleil sur 7), bref difficile d etre objectifs. Nous sommes donc rentrés en Belgique. La piscine est tres bien , avec une tres belle vue ,le mas aussi ,rustique mais vous avez tout.
Gîte bien agréable au milieu des vignes, avec une petite piscine privée (un peu froide quoique rafraîchissante), et pas loin du festival de la Roque d’Antheron. Parfait pour un séjour à deux.
Nous avons passé une excellente semaine, au calme, au soleil, au bord de la piscine... La maison est parfaite pour une semaine de farniente et le propriétaire fort agréable.

Thank you for you lovely comments Marie, we are so pleased you and your family enjoyed your stay. Of course, you are very welcome to come again.
Cosy rural little house with all amenities necessary and a refreshing private pool with pool beds and big umbrella. Friendly reception by the owners, who are available but very discrete. The holiday home is on their property but due to the distance and vegetation between both houses you feel like you are in the middle of nowhere. Pertuis - which is only a few minutes away by car - is a nice little town with some good restaurants and bars and everything else you need for "survival" ;-)

Gîte formidable
Nous avons passé d'excellentes vacances dans ce gîte très agréable, calme et bien isolé sans aucun vis à vis, au milieu des vignes et avec une superbe piscine.
S'y ajoute un accueil chaleureux des propriétaires, discrets et soucieux de notre bien être, et un gîte joliment décoré !

Parfait
Notre séjour c'est très bien déroulé, nous avons passé d'excellentes vacances.
Le gite St Sophie correspond bien à la description, mais avec des plus, ce qui est une agréable surprise.
Je peux préciser :
• Climatisation dans les 3 pièces : chambre, salon et cuisine, c'est vraiment un gros plus.
• la piscine parfaite, pas de vis à vis, on a l'impression d'être seul au monde.
• l'environnement idyllique, vue sur les vignes et les montagnes, super tranquille.
• La chambre, literie excellente et ultra propre et saine.
Les propriétaires sont très discrets, l'accueil chaleureux et Jean-Louis répond rapidement si besoin est.
A recommander. Eve & Marc

Peace and quiet lovely pool
Very restful stay. Everything we needed. Wonderful private pool. Cosy house. Owner very helpful if you asked but left alone otherwise. Good central location with lots to see and do in Provence. You need a car because of the location but we liked being out of town. Didn't want to leave which says it all.

A rustic Gite in the middle of vineyards
Lovely location amidst vineyards
Extremely helpful host who gave us tips on places to visit
We enjoyed the white wine made by our host
Private pool is a bonus
It would be useful to have a file with information on local walks, markets etc but our host helped us with these queries.
Stairs to the bedroom are quite steep and would not be suitable for everyone

Why they chose this property
Maison très agréable, discrétion des propriétaires. Calme absolu, l`environnement et la piscine sont des plus appréciables. Very pleasant house, discretion of the owners. Absolute calm, the environment and the swimming pool are most appreciable. E, France, August 2020
We had an excellent week, in the calm, in the sun, by the pool ... The house is perfect for a week of lazing around and the owner is very pleasant. A, France, 2020

The cottage is wonderful and the owner even more so. We loved the place, the gîte and the atmosphere. Special thanks to the two 4-legged companions who were our children`s best friends during this week ... to recommend and of course we will be back M.D, July 2020
Thank you! It is pure bliss!! AandB from Belgium
Well equipped, entertainingly furnished little house in a gorgeous location with owners who were very welcoming, helpful and discreet. The staircase might be difficult for the elderly or infirm
What makes this property unique
We loved the pool after a hot day exploring the villages, the isolation in the the vineyards, easy access to town if needed, a bottle of wine from our hosts.
Mrs B, Australia, June 2018
We had another really great stay at Gite St Sophie. The cottage is as lovely as ever and we ended up spending most of the week relaxing at home. Please can we book the Gite for next year?
CEH, UK, June 2018
Excellent and perfect : a haven of quiet surrounded by vineyards, a nice swimming pool and a large garden unoverlooked. The house is nicely decorated and confortable (air conditioning in each room). Moreover the owner is discrete, very friendly and take care of our well-being. We will keep in mind this rental for future holidays, and fully recommend it!
Mr C, August 2017
Great! Privacy, safety and the amenities were very good. We appreciated that the owners were there if we needed them but that they respected our privacy. Booking again for 2018!
