A piece of Vaucluse

The property was as described online. The house was well equipped with all the necessary essentials. Dirk is an amazing host. He offered excellent suggestions on sites to see during our limited stay. I would not hesitate to stay at his location in the future.

Book Now!

After a three-week tour of Italy and France that included 6 different Vrbo's - I can say without hesitation, that Le Refuge in Fontaine de Vaucluse was the best of them all! Extraordinary in every way. Dirk's wonderful Gite - more like a grotto - is incredibly enchanting. From the gorgeous patio and private pool to the perfectly appointed kitchen and luxury bathroom - we wished we had booked our stay with Dirk for at least another week. The village of Fontaine De Vaucluse is a must - it is breathtakingly beautiful and offers wonderful ambiance and entertainment. That being said - our preference after a full day of sightseeing was to come home to Le Refuge, open a bottle of wine and sit by the pool! I promise you will not be disappointed with this OUTSTANDING Vrbo - but I encourage you not to dawdle around and book your stay before it's gone. You will also find Dirk - the owner of Le Refuge - to be a wonderful and considerate host. BEST VRBO EVER!

Paradisiaque

Un séjour paradisiaque dans un gite où tout a été pensé pour le repos, la tranquillité et le bien être des vacanciers. Le mobilier est très confortable et les équipements divers sont nombreux et de bonne qualité. La piscine est une bénédiction par ces temps de forte chaleur. Notre hôte tout en étant discret est tout à fait prévenant et très à l'écoute. Que du bonheur - On en redemanderait.

About the host

Your host

Owner has long been in love with this beautiful region and in 2018 relocated from London to Provence to pursue a life change. Speaks English, German and French.

Why they chose this property

The cottage is part of a stunning stone-built village house near the famous town of Fontaine de Vaucluse on the edge of the spectacular Luberon region with its many town markets, restaurants, museums and galleries. The residence is just 6 km from the market and antiquities town of L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, 25 km from Avignon (TGV train station, Palais de Papes) and just a few minutes from famous Luberon villages such as Gordes, Lacoste, Bonnieux, Roussillon and Lourmarin. Also in easy reach are unique day-trip destinations such as Mont Ventoux (35 km), Les Baux (50 km), Arles (65 km), Aix-en-Provence (75 km), the Carmargue ( 90 km) or the Ardèche (130 km). Even most beautiful beaches are less than a 2 hour car trip away (e.g. Cassis with its pebble/rock beaches or Les-Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer with its sandy beaches).

What makes this property unique

The holiday rental is in a beautiful 18th century converted village house with lots of character. Due to its location, the house is well protected from the mistral and has a fantastic sheltered courtyard (not accessible to public view) with a very pretty stone-built pool allowing for lingering on sun-deck chairs or outdoor BBQs and dining on the large terrace during warm Provençal evenings.
