About this property

Artist's Paradise in Provence! - Views, Peace, Village Centre

Our more than 200 year old stone house is in a dominant location in the heart of the beautiful listed village of Fontaine de Vaucluse, famous for its freshwater spring.

Come and enjoy this sunny haven of peace, its breathtaking views over the village, river, castle ruins and cliffs and its flowering Provence-style terraces lulled by the river below.

Bathed in sunlight, spacious and just a 2 minute walk from the many restaurants, little shops, sites, riverside park, museums, fishing, kayaking...

Outdoors we have two typical Provencal stone courtyards giving you a choice of sun or shade:

- one sunny open courtyard with table, chairs and flowering plants
- one semi-covered courtyard (25m²) with a large dining table and chairs in the shade, a small table in the sun (ideal for breakfast!), a BBQ, summer kitchen..

The house is approved by Gites de France and is east and west facing. The 80m² interior is bathed in natural light and entirely renovated:

Ground floor: Large fully equipped kitchen/dining room (28m²); double bedroom with en suite bathroom (shower and toilet).

First floor: Large living room with a double sofa bed and a second sofa (25m²); bathroom (shower and toilet); twin bedroom.

Possibility to create a family floor with independent access from the courtyard.

Travel cot available.

Sleeps 4 to 6 people.

Free parking in the village.

Access to the house is by about sixty shallow stone steps (hence the great views and peace and quiet!). No problem for healthy people of all ages and the local supermarket has a delivery service!

There is a public open air public swimming pool in the village in summer.

Truly paradise!

A lifelong freind and I chose to celebrate our 60th birthdays here. We spent 3 delightful weeks in this beautifully rustic home in the most picturesque village I could imagine. The host was perfect. The atmosphere relaxing. To many businesses disappointment, I rarely give perfect grades. But to this... I rate it a perfect 10! Ther is not one thing I would change. Thank you, Joanne!

Everything we dreamed about

We had a list of criteria and this property met all our expectations. We wanted a small village to call home for a month, a place with a selection of good, reasonably-priced places to dine, some shopping, and sights. A house with two bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, kitchen and laundry facilities, and if possible, some character. We didn't want a generic modern place. This little stone house was perfect for our 4-week stay. The owner met us when we arrived and showed us the basics for the house; whenever we had any questions, she was just a text message away. Without question the terrace was the best part of the house - the view of the limestone cliffs was amazing and we had some lovely meals sitting out there. We did a ton of sightseeing, using Fontaine de Vaucluse as our base and I must say after facing the traffic out of Marseilles and Aix, I was so happy that we chose a small town. FdV is small - just the one boulangerie - but because it's also a tourist destination, there are more restaurants and shops compared to other small villages. For groceries, it was a short drive to L'Isle sur la Sorgue. We hated to leave!

A wonderful, fabulous stay

This house was exactly what we wanted from a place to stay in Provence. The house is historic, lovely and charming and yet has all of the updates needed for a comfortable stay. The kitchen had everything we could possibly need to cook our own meals and we visited the farmer's market in the next town numerous times for the freshest, best ingredients imaginable. When we didn't want to cook, there were great restaurants right in the town. Probably my favorite part of the house is the lovely outdoor terrace. We had our breakfast out there every morning and watched the light change on the limestone cliffs. The river is just below the house and we could hear the water rushing by. We were there for a week during some of the highest temperatures ever recorded in the area but the thick stone walls and closing of the shutters kept the house comfortable. The house is located right at the lovely town, but it felt private and removed from any bustle. Most mornings one of us would walk over to the bakery and grab a pain au chocolate and croissant to bring back for breakfast. The river through the town, castle ruin (which is easily seen from the terrace) and short hike to the spring headwaters is every photographer's dream. It is an easy drive over to all of the other well known Provence towns too. The house was spotless. We are a family of 2 adults and 2 children (ages 11 and 14) and the space in the house gave us plenty of room. There is definitely room for more. We could spread out for some private reading time or gather around the large farm table for a game of cards. The terrace had a large table where we could also eat and gather. The owner, Joanne, went above and beyond to help us with anything we needed and helped us navigate a few travel hiccups. She was always available for any questions and I am not sure I can adequately express how well she runs the rental of this house. Honestly, the house looks and lives like something out of the perfect Provence movie. I would love to stay here again sometime. It was a great vacation!

Our stay was outstanding!

The property is a bit quaint, but that added to its appeal and our experience. The location was very central to all the villages we had planned to visit. In the evenings it was very quiet. We particularly enjoyed the ability to forage at the area markets then return "home" to prepare and enjoy a variety of meals. The villages offered many wonderful photo opportunities. The owner was very gracious and helpful. This is an experience we will recommend to our friends.

Enchanting

The home itself is beautifully situated in the town with proximity to everything offered. We found ourselves with everything we needed for a perfect visit to Provence. The home is enchanting with ideal spaces inside and outside. Joanne is a knowledgeable and friendly hostess with a good understanding of the area. Our two weeks in Fontaine de Vaucluse passed too quickly but we enjoyed every moment.
