Top Hotels Near Domaine Grand-Père Jules in Violes

"We are a couple who spent 2 wonderful weeks in early September relaxing at this comfortable apartment in Fontbonne. While we have vacationed in this area previously, this was our first time staying in this apartment and we were very impressed. Our hostess, Katia, welcomed us as we drove in and introduced the apartment details to us. She is friendly and helpful while not intruding on your privacy. Her own house is located next door to the independent apartment building and we had exclusive use of the fenced yard with a ground level patio and an upstairs balcony. The apartment is located on the first floor and the ground floor is unoccupied. The kitchen is well supplied with appliances, dishes, and utensils and is perfect for preparing your own meals. We usually ate on the balcony which has a great view overlooking the vineyards below. The bathroom and closet are off the kitchen and the large bedroom with its comfortable bed is 3 steps down from the kitchen level. Be aware that the apartment is located on the first floor and is accessed by outside stairs. Fontbonne is a small hamlet in the middle of the vineyards outside of Vacqueyras and offers the opportunity for hikes along the small roads and hills in the area as well as visits to historic sites and wineries. Excellent restaurants are found in Beaumes de Venise, and supermarkets are in Sarrians, about a 15 minute drive. This apartment is a great base from which to explore this region of Provence."

"The house, garden, and pool are absolutely beautiful. There is plenty of space, beds, kitchen items, eating areas, etc for a large group of people to have a relaxing vacation together. Camille was very responsive with all of our questions. Marie Noelle, the cool, made us a few delicious meals and was so sweet. I would highly recommend this home!"

"Ideal for visiting the local area including Gigondas and Roman amphitheatre in Vaison La Romaine. Very good accommodation and it was lovely to meet Frederic."

"The location, surrounded by vineyards and with a view to the Dentelles is perfect. In the heat the pool is the perfect way to cool. The villa is a little old fashioned but that is part of it’s charm. We enjoyed a relaxing break and found most things we needed in the nearby villages of Gigondas and Sablet. The only complaint is that the separate shower room and second toilet are both located off the heating boiler room and not therefore pleasant or convenient to access."

"Small but comfortable room. Beautiful setting both restaurant and bar are great. Take mossie spray - lots of biting insects! "
