Vineyard bliss
If you read the reviews, everything positive that was said is true. Literally set in the middle of a vineyard, this is the most quaint, rustic, and accommodating setting a group could hope for. The pool (which is shared with anyone who might be staying at the adjoining house) was a relief, as it was hot when we were there (June 15-28). Third floor bedroom was quite warm so make sure that you get the owners to look at it if it is not working when you get there. We enjoyed the terraced front patio for breakfasts and dinners/aperitifs. The grape vines gave cover from the sun, and the beautiful plants around it were in full bloom and lent amazing aromas. We enjoyed several dinners at the Café in Vacqueyras, and the boulangerie provided baguettes, croissants and espresso to keep us sustained in the mornings. There are more vineyards than you could ever visit in Vacqueyras and the surrounding towns, but you cannot miss a tasting at Clos de Caveau, which gets its grapes from, among other places, the plots surrounding the pool. Biking was essential to us and the surrounding roads, narrow as they are, offered incredible views of the Dentelles and surrounding vineyards. We did venture to Mont Ventoux, Sault, Châteauneuf de Pape and Marseille to explore, and emphasize the need to rent a car. Perrine and Julien were quickly responsive to every little issue we had pop up. Sunsets by the pool were breathtaking and not to be missed. Incroyable!! Thank you for sharing your home with us.
