Enjoy the gentle Provencal atmosphere in this comfortable house, in the heart of the Rhône vineyards and close to some excellent restaurants, some of them Michelin starred. Provence, wine, old stones lovers and initially winegrowers on the family estate, we (Nick & Sabine) devoted ourselves to renovating the old stables with the aim of welcoming guests wishing to discover this sublime corner of the Rhone Valley, in the county of Vaucluse.

You have access to two large living rooms, one with two large sofas (each sitting 3/4), the other with a fully-equipped kitchen/dining area, two laundry rooms, for an unique experience, far from the crowds and yet close to everything.
