Le Vaisonnais

Vaison-la-Romaine, 5 Bedrooms - Sleeps 10

A regular amongst the style pages of interior design magazines, this 18th century Provencal Mas has the feeling of a chic boutique hotel, hidden amongst the vineyards of the Côtes-du-Rhone. 

Breathtaking scenery and a sun-drenched climate have attracted visitors to this part of Provence since Roman times. Today, as the ranging Mont Ventoux and jagged Dentelles de Montmirail still lineate the skyline, so antiquity remains an abundant feature of the landscape, from the Roman villa mosaics at Vaison, to the magnificent 1st century amphitheatre at Orange. The slightly raised position of Le Vaisonnais, and some perfectly oriented terraces, capture much of this history in one sweeping outlook.

The interior of the house, decorated strikingly with vibrant canvasses and some contemporary furnishing, is none-the-less comfortable and in many ways traditional. The master bedroom is particularly appealing, not least for its designer en suite bathroom with rain shower and views over vineyards to the Mont Ventoux. 

Accommodation is divided between the main house, with kitchen, living areas and three bedrooms, including the sizeable master bedroom, and an adjacent guest house, with a further double and twin bedroom, each with bathroom.

Bedroom configuration:

Bedroom 1: King-size bed with en suite shower room
Bedroom 2: Double, with adjacent bathroom
Bedroom 3: Twin room with adjacent bathroom
Bedroom 4: Double, with en suite shower room
Bedroom 5: Twin with en suite bathroom

The gardens: In addition to the formal dining area in the main house, a large, covered terrace is positioned off the kitchen and surrounded with lavender. Several additional, informal dining spots can be found around the grounds, positioned to enjoy the splendid outlook.

The pool area has an electric cover, and equally with children in mind, several informal play areas with tipees are to be found at various points around the grounds.

The views: Views from the pool and gardens extend over vineyards to the village of Vaison-la-Romaine; from the master bedroom the sun rises behind the Mont Ventoux.

Why we like it: The views alone over prestigious Côtes du Rhone vineyards to the Roman town of Vaison-la-Romaine, are enough to say this place has the 'wow' factor. Additionally the interior is one-of-a-kind, fabulous boutique design in the heart of Provence.

Nota bene 1: Due to an unprotected fountain in the driveway children should be supervised. 

Nota bene 2: outside of high season, a reduced capacity option is available for up to 6 guests. In such cases the guest cottage is unavailable.
