Vacqueyras mountain rentals

A clean, light filled, spacious and very comfortable apartment and a lovely pool. The apartment is in a very quiet location above the town, less than a 5 minute walk to Bédoin’s main streets. Olivier was a great host, who was very helpful and accommodating. We only had a short stay (enough time to cycle Mt Ventoux) but could have easily stayed for a few more days. We highly recommend Les Balcons du Ventoux Gite Emile and Olivier the host.

We very much enjoyed staying here for a week. The house sits on a small ridge facing west with lovely views across the Vacqueyras Vines. The hamlet is very quiet. The house itself has lots of character. The bedroom is huge and airy with windows on two sides. The bed was large and very comfortable and there were two arm chairs. Bathroom good. The second room was much smaller and included the kitchen and a sofa. Effectively there is no living area. However there is a lovely terrace and we ate all our meals there. There is no TV which was good for us! Vacqueyras was 2.5k away but has very limited services. Reasonable cafe, butcher that was closed (temporarily we think) and a bar that sold terrible baguettes. You really have to drive 6-10 k for food shopping. Ben was our contact. Communication with her was excellent and we really appreciated her providing us with the key to the garage so we could store our bikes securely. Good place for 2 people if you like peace and quiet and are happy to drive for baguettes.

We had a wonderful fortnight in this beautiful property. It’s location and scale of landscape makes it the perfect location in Provence.
