About this house rental

La Maison des Peintres is a typical village house at the top of a hamlet at the foot of the Géant de Provence, the Mont Ventoux. It looks unimposing from the outside but as soon as you enter it is warm and light-filled, painted in rich Provençal colours. The ground floor is divided into three areas - kitchen, dining and living. This leads onto a sunny terrace that overlooks one of the most beautiful views in the area with a patchwork of cherry orchards, vines and poplars. This view is particularly dramatic in the autumn. The kitchen is well stocked. It is important for us that you have good coffee making facilities and proper glasses for drinking the fine wine of the region as you watch the sun go down. Each bedroom is large with top quality mattresses, pillows, duvets and linens. Towels are fluffy. Everywhere there hang paintings by your host and other painters who have visited. For winter guests, there is an original Godin stove and an open fireplace which keep the place toasty. One of the bedrooms also has a working fireplace. All rooms have electric heaters. There is wifi available throughout and an ipod/phone sound dock in each bedroom. This is one of the most magical areas of the Vaucluse and indeed Provence. Because you are at the foot of the mountain you only have to walk out of the door and you are on the 'Grand Randonée 91', a walking trail that circles the Ventoux. There, in summer, the oak, pine and moss paths (the 'Garrigue') will provide delicious shady walks. Right in front of the house there are cherry orchards, vineyards and poplars. In every season it is heavenly, from the white blossom through the wild irises and scented broome of spring to the scarlet explosion of autumn. In winter the snow can turn everything into a winter wonderland or you can be eating outside on the terrace. The hamlet consists of a few houses and an average pizzeria which is a great place to hang out to have an apéro. Bedoin is two kilometers away. Bedoin is a pretty and lively place not just for tourists like so many of the villages around. It has a school, a lovely municipal pool, a supermarket, an organic butcher and three bakeries (two of which are good). On Mondays it hosts one of the regions fine Provençal markets and on Saturday evenings between May and September there is a farmer's market where you can get the freshest seasonal produce from Ventoux lamb through goats cheese and asparagus. You are in the best cycling and walking country (the Mont Ventoux is famous for the regular visits by the Tour de France). You are twenty or so minutes from the lavender capital of Provence - Sault - and from the famous Côtes du Rhône villages of Seguret, Vacqueyras, Gigondas where you can spend hours pottering through the vineyards and tasting some of the world's best wine. Meanwhile, if you are in need of some city bustle, the luminescent papal city of Avignon is just 30 minutes away.

Un très beau hameau et pays au pied du grandiose Ventoux

Un très beau hameau et pays au pied du grandiose Ventoux

Le logement de Ruth est un très bel endroit plein de charme et très calme en ce mois de février. Les chambres et les salles d'eau sont superbes et très bien entretenues. Au rez-de-chaussée la cuisine /piece a vivre est aussi très belle et agréable a vivre, avec sa terrasse tournée vers les vignes et les champs de fruitiers, on s'y sentait très bien. Mais l'entretien de cette piece et de certains ustensiles de cuisine étaient un peu approximatif (peut-être parce que nous avions réservé juste 3 jours avant) et nécessitant un rafraîchissement (rideaux, chaises sur la terrasse...) Je le signale, mais cela ne nous a pas empêché de bien profiter de ce pays superbe et de se sentir heureux le soir de rentrer ”au logis” et allumer un bon feu de bois (ramassés dans les forêts de chêne vert tout près de la maison) ... Peut être aurions nous aimé avoir un peu plus de contact avec notre hôtesse qui habite le village (on aime bien parler avec les gens de leur pays) mais c'était un séjour court... hélas ! En tous cas nous recommandons ce hameau/hamlet des Baux et ce beau pays de Bedoin et alentours ! Suzanne et Rémy Paliard

We had a fantastic stay in Ruth’s cottage. The house is comfortable and beautifully decorated. It is in a fantastic location in a pretty hamlet just outside Bédoin, perfect for us to go walking and cycling. Ruth was extremely helpful and welcoming we would love to stay again if we are in the area.

Making a living as a musician can mean not having much chance to take a vacation.

Making a living as a musician can mean not having much chance to take a vacation.

But I was scheduled to go to Germany on business and decided to take 10 days and spend them on my own in Provence, taking cello lessons. So I found this English lady who teaches and had just purchased a villa...sort of a town house...in a tiny little village, and rents it out. I arrived and found myself in a lovely place at the foot of a mountain and vineyards and farmland all around. After hours on a plane, a train trip and then an hour driving up from Avignon, I was hoping that I could take a long soak in the tub, remembering the landlady in Italy who only let us have hot water one day a week. The tub was the longest I have ever enjoyed and the water, lots of it, was hot. This little village was full of nice people who were did not seem to mind a visitor staying near them, making it a great place to go to unwind. It's off the beaten path and you will not find trying to speak French in a restaurant embarrassing as a waiter switches into English and rushes you into ordering food. Each day I drove to a different area, visiting a monastery where Benedictine monks sing Gregorian chant daily; attending a concert with Ruth Phillips where a cellist played Bach in a church that was standing before Bach was born; and taking a lot of pictures of people's dogs! No one was rude, the quiet of the villa was lovely. At night it was wonderful to sit on the open air terrace and seeing the moon and stars. I recommend staying there highly...they even had arranged for high speed wireless internet - the internet being hard to find in the mountains, so each day I was able to send pictures back to make my wife regret that she stayed behind to work. So this year we are going to go together. On my return to Paris before flying back, I stayed at the Citizen M hotel...which had very luxurious bedding that must have come from the same place as the bedding at the villa...and how often can you stay in a villa with artwork by a famous artist? Don't miss it.
