Charming historical house in Medieval city.Entirely renovated 2013/2014

Located in the heart of the old market square at the west entrance of the medieval city, this XVIth century home will bring you back in time.The charm and quietness of the XVIIIth trickling fountain under the venerable plane tree, just across the house, will enchant your stay and soothe your nights after some long visits to the medieval or roman ruins or, perhaps...one of the many local vineyards!
The house was completely renovated in 2013 and early 2014.The owners used only noble materials in order to restore the historical character although, much attention has been given to the kitchen and baths where the visitors will experience all the confort of modernity.You will feel confortable inside where all all the volumes have been preserved or outside where there is no vis avis.Every windows open to the old market square and from the small terrace, you will admire the sunset on the medieval city, the ruins of the castle and the surrounding vineyards.

It is a four story house, including the renovated attic but the historical and medieval(sometimes roman) steps are extremely wide and easy.

On the first floor, the visitors will enjoy a bright and luminous living room that can accommodate eight persons around the maple table.They will enjoy the other XIXth century fire place,TV,HI FI,CD player and WI FI connection.There is also another leather convertible sofa, two armchairs and another Berber Kylim carpet.
Across the living room, there is the separate fully equipped kitchen(including the dish washer, microwave and conventional oven,refrigerator-freezer) and all the gourmet tools.We did not forget the wine opener!
The two bedrooms are on the second floor.One with a queen size bed and the other with twin beds(joinable in a queen size).
At the same level, you will find the totally renovated and modern bathroom equipped with a walk in shower, two sinks,a toilet and a combo dryer/washing machine.

Finally, discover the third floor where the attic has been converted to a nice small cozy nest, equipped with a futon and some modern amenities.From there, you can access the sunny terrace and admire the medieval surrondings, the market square and the surrounding vineyards.

Beautiful and bright
We stayed here again during August and early September, and couldn't recommend the property more highly. Pictures don't even do it justice: the home is incredibly bright and well lit, even on the occasional cloudy day. The owner is super helpful and responsive. The fountain outside your bedroom window lulls you to sleep each night, and the morning sun wakes you up. Five stars for sure.

Yet another great visit
We have stayed here before, and everything was perfect as always. One big improvement is that the house now has fiber internet, and speeds are really fast. If you need to do any work, 200 Mbps speeds (just tested now) is more than enough! I should also mention how beautiful the house is from the outside as well as inside. We went to look as some postcards yesterday, and it is kind of cool to see the house you live in be one one of the cards!

Autumn in Provence
We've stayed in this property several times before, but only in the summer. Not only is Provence great in late October, but the property was perfect too! Some places we've rented before are not well heated, and we are always cold. This property has many electric heaters, and every room was exactly as warm as we wanted it. Also, the many large windows on the square face east, so it is wonderfully bright in the mornings, which is very nice during the shorter days. Even on rainy days, the house was comfortable and bright, and we enjoyed staying in and reading! Although it was too cold to eat on the rooftop patio, the main room dining area was perfect for dinners in as well: we ate at home seven of our eight nights! We'll almost certainly try another shoulder season stay here again!

Medieval charm, modern conveniences
This is a stunning house done over beautifully to include all modern conveniences. It faces a charming old square centered on a huge tree and a trickling stone fountain. The handsome stone stairs were a challenge for us, no longer young, but worth it. Be aware that parking is not easy and food shopping requires a car. This area is primarily residential. But if you want an authentic experience of life long ago, this is it.

Favourite place in France!
This is the fourth time we have rented this property. We love it that much, and everything about it is perfect. Check out our other reviews if you want details, but the above says it all.

Highly Recommended
We spent 3 weeks in this beautifully restored home. Tastefully decorated, gorgeous views, quiet, really nice kitchen. Wonderful location. Very close to the Dentelles de Montmirail and Mont Ventoux (hiking and biking), Gigondas (great wine, plus a Michelin starred restaurant: L'Oustalet), and plenty of cute villages and markets to explore. Highly recommended.

Twice in one summer!
We rented this house in July of 2018 and loved it...we were very sad to leave, and thought "until next year." As a result of some weird business travel plan changes, we were "stuck" in France for a week, and had to stay somewhere. As luck would have it, our favourite house was available, so we booked immediately. We had a perfect seven nights. If anything, it was even better than our stay earlier in the summer. Some nights were too cool to eat on the third floor terrace, so we had our first dinners in the main room, and loved them just as much as our rooftop dinners. Check in and check out were flawless as before, and we are even meeting some of the neighbours, all of whom wave and chat and are most friendly.

Old world charm with modern conveniences
This beautifully, lovingly restored 15th century home symbolizes France’s history in the Vaison-la-Romaine area. It is tastefully decorated, maintaining the old world charm. Kitchen is great and well outfitted. It’s in a fantastic location – easy to walk into town. We loved being in the medieval upper village and still be able to walk into the lower village. We were able to take some great hikes in the area and it’s easy to visit neighboring villages and wineries. After traveling through France for 10 days it was a welcome respite to have a lovely home for two weeks. We even took a cooking class in Vaison, Cuisine de Provence. There are a number of very good restaurants within walking distance. A couple of items to keep in mind. Because it is four stories ( we mostly just used the second and third floor- kitchen living area and bedroom ), be prepared to do a lot of climbing up and down stairs with some uneven surfaces. The other thing is parking can be a little tricky. We were fortunate enough to not have to park far away most of the time, but several times did have a climb up the hill to the house. Pascal, the property manager was always available, very kind and took care of any needs we had, which were few. All this being said, it was worth it! This was our favorite part of our month trip in France.

Perfect house in Vaucluse!
We stayed here last summer, and enjoyed it so much we rented again. We are already planning to book again for 2019! We love the house itself: historic with just the right mix of modernisation. Excellent kitchen, luxurious bathroom, and the main rooms overlook the historic square with fountain. The top floor terrace is ideal for dinners and then stargazing over vineyards and hills of the Dentelles du Montmirail.

Rich with history and truly a sanctuary of comfort
The entire home was a treat to call home for a week. All the amenities have been tended to and my sleep was sweet while listening to the fountain in the square as my French windows remained open all night. Thank you for a beautiful stay in a magical ancienne ville.
