Village médiéval au cœur de la Provence

Eine schöne Unterkunft in einer phantastischen Region.

Mitten im Ort. Schönes altes Haus .

Super Aussicht von der Dachterrasse mit der Möglichkeit einen Sundowner zu nehmen ;-)

Die Unterkunft hielt, was sie versprach: Das kleine Dorf war wunderschön gelegen, das Haus mit Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet! Das Haus und das Dorf waren sehr gepflegt. Die Menschen in Villedieu waren alle sehr freundlich zu uns. Auf der Dachterrasse konnten wir den Sonnenuntergang betrachten und am Tag die schöne Aussicht genießen. Am späten Abend saßen wir gemütlich am knisternden Kamin. Informationen zur besseren Orientierung im Haus und in der Umgebung erhielten wir vorab per mail und waren zusätzlich im Haus in einem Ordner verfügbar. Gebrauchsanweisungen zu allen Elektrogeräten waren griffbereit. Das Haus verfügte über eine Satellitenschüssel mit zig überwiegend britischen TV Sendern. Für uns persönlich war das ein unerwarteter Vorteil, da wir französisches TV nicht gut verstanden hätten. Uns hat es besonders gefallen, in der Region wandern/spazieren zu gehen. Trotz Schulferien in Frankreich war der Ort ruhig und bot einen idealen Rückzugsort vom Allag. Wir hatte wundervolle Ferien und wünschen uns sehr, wiederzukommen, in genau dieses Haus!

The house fulfilled all our expectations! The little village is situated in a beautiful area, the interiour was picked out with loving care. The house and the village were very neat. The people in Villedieu all were very friendly. Sitting on the roof terrace we enjoyed very much looking at the sunset in the evening as well as we enjoyed looking at the fantastic landscape. Late at night we sat by the crackling fire in the living room. We received some information for a better orientation in the house and in the area via email before starting our trip. The information were also available in the house in a file. Manuals for all electronic devices were also available. The TV offered dozens of british TV stations. For us it was an advantage because we would not have come along too well with french TV. We loved to go for walks or hiking in the area. Though there were holidays in France Villedieu was very calm and a very good place to be free from every day live. We had a wonderful time and wish to come back, in exactly this beautiful house!

As others have said, this is a beautiful old house which has been done up charmingly and appropriately by the owners, but lacking nothing that you might need for a relaxing holiday. The roof terrace is the real star, however, with its dining area, barbie and, of course, the sunbathing four-poster bed. The views across vineyards towards the distant hills was wonderful at any time of the day, but the sunsets were often truly spectacular. The village of Villedieu did not disappoint either. For such a tiny place, it was well stocked with places to eat (including weekly visits by a pizza van and a paella van), a shop where you can order your morning croissant, and a variety of public entertainments, from jazz to Europop. A local vineyard also had a free weekly concert of young talent where you could enjoy their wine and a platter of organic food. Further afield, we enjoyed all the history (especially at Vaison), the walking and splashing about in rivers and swimming pools. Our thanks to Mandy and Ian, who were extremely helpful, before and after. There was only one downside: we had to come back.

We have just spent a wonderful week at Maison Village in Villedieu. Ian and Mandy's house is beautiful. It is very traditional having kept most of the original features but modernised in a sympathetic way. The views from the roof terrace are superb, we spent many an evening there watching the sunsets! The house is well-maintained and fully equipped and there is nothing the owners haven't thought of. Villedieu is a lovely Provencal village, quiet in the day but vibrant with life in the evenings. It's in a great location, close to all the surrounding towns, countryside and places of interest. A good day out is to Vaison-la-Romaine, only 6kms away. There is a fantastic market there on a Tuesday, also the old Roman town and medieval hilltop quarter with a tranquil river nearby. Other good days out are driving to The Dentelles Mountain Range and Mount Ventoux. There is so much to do and see in this area. We would definitely recommend a holiday here and we will be returning in the near future!
