Die Lage des Hauses ist wunderbar. Zu Fuß in die Stadt, auf die Burg oder an den Fluss - alles in wenigen Minuten erreichbar. Gleichzeitig bietet der Garten zahllose Möglichkeiten es sich bequem zu machen.
Die Anbieter waren sehr hilfsbereit und jederzeit erreichbar.
We were part of 2 families staying at the house, 10 people in total. There was plenty of room for us all to spread out and not feel that we were on top of each other. It’s an old house which meant lots of uneven steps to and from the garden, this wasn’t an issue for us but worth bearing in mind if traveling with young children. The location is fantastic for trips into both the old and new town and so many places to visit less than an hours drive away. Pierre responded quickly to any questions we had and made us feel extremely welcome. We had a very memorable holiday!
We were well received by Pierre. We arrived very early in Vaison La Romaine, fortunately Pierre made sure we could check in early.
We hade a great family vacation.
Nous avons eu un beau séjour de deux semaines en famille. Chacun avait assez de place pour dormir. La terrasse extérieure pour diner est parfaite. Le jardin est magnifique, beaucoup plus grand que sur les photos. L'hôte est très acceuillant.
This is a gorgeous very old house in a perfect location in Vaison-la-Romaine - just above the bridge to the main market street, just below the medieval town, easy to walk everything and very peaceful and quiet. Vaison is a WONDERFUL place to visit and a great base for exploring Provence.
Our host, Pierre, sent a detailed email when we booked the place, of things to do in and around Vaison- very helpful. He stopped by 3 days into our stay with wine for us! Very kind.
The grounds are beautiful but seriously in need of trimming and maintenance. We did take most of our meals outside, at the table provided, as our weather was perfect. The house has no air conditioning, which we didn’t need, but just be aware.
Unfortunately previous tenant(s) had put away cookware and dishes poorly washed (like visibly dirty) so we felt we had to wash everything before using. ( Everything's else in the house was very clean.) There also were no essential supplies in the kitchen (like paper towels, trash and composting bags, foil, etc.) so we had to buy all those items right away.
The bedrooms are very comfortable, with wonderful linens; bathrooms/showers great, (there are only 2 toilets, both upstairs). The house is old with many steps in odd places, so care is needed and not suitable for anyone with mobility problems.
All in all we loved the place, and would love to return sometime!
Geweldig. Pierre is een zeer vriendelijke gastheer die ons gastvrij ontving in zijn prachtige huis. De communicatie verliep vlot, Pierre spreekt uitstekend Engels en leidde ons door het huis en de tuin (eigenlijk is het meer een park). Het huis aan de voet van de burcht en de oude stad is authentiek en sluit naadloos aan bij de omgeving. De inrichting is origineel en gezellig.
We hebben een zeer relaxte week gehad met onze kinderen en hun aanhang!
All six of us - two 17 year olds and 4 adults - couldn't get over how lovely the house and its grounds were. We felt transported to a different world, lounging around the pool and terraces. So much space in the house to relax too - loved the moroccan lounge, and loved the fact that it was obviously a well loved family home, not just an impersonal rental house. Such a boon to have a lively town and the medieval village on our doorstep.
Many thanks too to Pierre for being so kind in picking up two of us at the bus stop, and being so helpful with local information.
After a small amount of confusion we managed to get in after a very long journey.
The Pool and eating area are the focal point and we had breakfast, lunch and dinner outside and spent many hours by the pool.
Weather was perfect.
Both bathrooms are well equipped and the kitchen worked perfectly, Leading straight out to the eating area.
Living room is nice and cool to relax and read even at 30 degrees plus outside.
For location its perfect, Vaison is a large town with loads of bars restaraunts and loads of other shops, The market on Tuesdays was full of delicious but expensive food.
You can walk to town in less than ten minutes, You have the old city above you and chateaus within 30 mins.
If you love wine you are right in the middle of it and it is extremely cheap.
All i would say is the garden needs some attention.
Thanks Pierre.

Anwesen mit Charakter
Wer ein Feriendomizil mit Charme sucht, ist hier genau richtig. Es war nicht alles perfekt, aber wir haben uns einfach nur wohlgefühlt.
Neben 5 Schlafzimmern, 3 Bädern, einer großen Küche mit allem Komfort (u.a. Spülmaschine, Kühlschrank, Tiefkühler, Mikrowelle, Toaster, Kaffeemaschine) lassen sich noch verschiedene sonstige Nebenräume entdecken. In einem befindet sich auch noch eine Waschmaschine.
Der riesige Garten, u.a. mit Pool, Wiesenflächen, Kinderspielgeräten (Tischtennisplatte, Schaukel, Trampolin), Grillplatz, Feigen- und Olivenbäumen, Anbauflächen von Gemüse, bietet sehr viele versteckte und verwunschene Ecken. Ein kleiner Bach fließt mitten über das Gelände. Die verschiedenen Bereiche sind über Treppen und schmale Wege zu erreichen.
Die Lage des Hauses ist optimal. Die Altstadt von Vaison-la-Romaine mit ihren Restaurants, Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und dem Markt ist in wenigen Minuten fußläufig zu erreichen, ebenso wie die mittelalterliche Oberstadt mit der Burg.
Wir haben 2 tolle Wochen in diesem wunderbaren Anwesen verbracht. Die Mischung von Natur, Kultur und Trubel ist einzigartig. Die Gastgeber sind freundlich, kompetent und hilfsbereit. Vielen Danke! Gerne wieder.
Das Haus ist sehr schön gelegen und bietet viel Platz. Wir sind als 2 Familien mit je drei Kindern angereist und hatten eine wunderbare Woche, auch dank des schönen, großen Gartens und dem Pool.
Phillipe ist sehr unkompliziert und freundlich.
Wir würden jederzeit wieder nach Vaison gehen!
Maison atypique sur plusieurs niveaux qui peut accueillir 5 couples en préservant des espaces d'intimité. Très bien située, au pied de la cité médiévale.
L'accueil est chaleureux, simple, les conseils de Pierre sur la découverte de sa régions sont excellents.
Cette propriété est à recommander aux amoureux des vieilles pierres et de l'authenticité.
La maison est parfaitement située pour tout faire à distance de marche. Il est très spacieux et dispose d'un immense jardin, mais il faut faire attention à cause des nombreuses pentes et escaliers.
Il y a aussi une belle salle de bain rénovée.
Certaines choses dans la maison ont besoin d'être rafraîchies. Il y avait quelques défauts mineurs dans la maison. La piscine n'était pas fonctionnelle pour nous à cause de la température. L'eau n'est pas devenue plus chaude que 21 degrés.
Peut-être aussi ajouter quelques grands parasols à la terrasse qui fait face au sud.
La communication avec le sympathique propriétaire s'est bien déroulée
La propriété est idéalement située : proche du centre-ville et des commerces, elle est pourtant située dans une zone très calme où vous ne serez pas embêté. De nombreuses activités sont accessibles à pied. Nous avons testé accrobranche, minigolf, et visite de domaines viticoles que nous recommandons. Pierre a été un hôte très agréable. Accommodant, sympathique et à l'écoute, il vous sera de bon conseil pour découvrir la région.
Séjour parfait entre amis à deux pas de la cité médieval et 5 min du centre.
Une belle et grande maison, un grand parc plein de recoin ombragés et une piscine très agréable. Le tout au calme et à proximité du centre. Tout peut se faire à pied dans Vaison. Arrivé et départ facils. Que demander de plus ?
Emplacement idéal - Grande maison - Charme Piscine -
Un séjour dans une grande maison bien typique et charmante, et d'un immense jardin, extrêmement bien située où le cœur de Vaison se fait directement à pied. L'accueil fut parfait. La piscine en pierre a un charme indéniable. Nous conseillons sans hésiter. S'il fallait apporter quelques critiques constructives, je parlerais peut-être du manque de débit d'eau pour les douches et le manque d'entretien du jardin où les herbes étaient bien hautes.
Alexandre G. et familles.
Accueil cordial, maison tout à fait conforme aux photos et au descriptif. Cadre verdoyant et enchanteur. A un jet de pierre de la vieille ville d'une part et du centre-ville d'autre part.

About the host
Hosted by Pierre Meffre
I am originally from Vaison, so I know a lot about local life. I practice road cycling and running. For these two sports, I can give you abundant advice about numerous courses in the region.
Why they chose this property
The Mas du Castel is our family house; it belonged to my grandparents. I enjoy every bit of it, and particularly the park, which I maintain all year round myself. This house is my childhood, the meals with my grandparents, the games in the garden.
What makes this property unique
The immense advantage of this location is its peacefulness and its proximity to the town centre. The large park allows for relaxing and enjoying the Mediterranean climate. The house is vast and cool in summer. It easily welcomes 10 people.
