Stone house and oversized wooden beams, spacious indoor and outdoor areas, make this a unique holiday home while travelling. Well equipped kitchen with lovely indoor and outdoor dining areas connected by a massive sliding door to bring the outdoors in and expand the overall feel. Used the swimming pool to cool off after a day of touring. Convenient parking for our car. Our host, Dirk, lives onsite and regularly checked in to be sure everything in the gîte was operating as expected and offered suggestions for exploring the local area. Used the washer and clothes ( and wet bathing suits) dried easily outdoors on the drying rack.

Probably one of the best stays we have ever had. We read all the 5 star reviews and understand now why. Property is charming and fully outfitted with everything you might need; meticulously well kept. Great location, and Dirk is a 5-star host who has lovingly restored his home and made this an easy recommendation from us! Dirk, if you'd have put a comfy lounge chair out by the pool for me to read - we probably would never have left!

Our stay in this house was amazing. Very comfortable with a beautiful location. The home was well supplied with all your needs. The host is gracious and full of useful and great advice. You can also enjoy a bottle of wine with him and the view of the Galas Aqueduct is divine. We will be back! The town is sleepy and lovely. During our time we took a horseback lesson, rode Mont Ventoux and visited many markets and towns. Best holiday yet!! Thanks again Dirk!!

After a three-week tour of Italy and France that included 6 different Vrbo's - I can say without hesitation, that Le Refuge in Fontaine de Vaucluse was the best of them all! Extraordinary in every way. Dirk's wonderful Gite - more like a grotto - is incredibly enchanting. From the gorgeous patio and private pool to the perfectly appointed kitchen and luxury bathroom - we wished we had booked our stay with Dirk for at least another week. The village of Fontaine De Vaucluse is a must - it is breathtakingly beautiful and offers wonderful ambiance and entertainment. That being said - our preference after a full day of sightseeing was to come home to Le Refuge, open a bottle of wine and sit by the pool! I promise you will not be disappointed with this OUTSTANDING Vrbo - but I encourage you not to dawdle around and book your stay before it's gone. You will also find Dirk - the owner of Le Refuge - to be a wonderful and considerate host. BEST VRBO EVER!

Great accommodations with modern conveniences. Short walk to a lovey village with 12th century ruins in the rocks above, as well as restaurants and shops. Very comfy TV area for relaxing after sightseeing and a beautiful outdoor area to drink wine from the nearby local vineyards. Host recommended a scenic drive for the afternoon which was a favorite and was helpful with dinner plans, etc. Ideal! Thank you!

Beautiful loft style property which was the best equipped of any place we have ever stayed in. The pool was lovely and much bigger than the photos make it seem. The terrace and courtyard were very comfortable and private and we spent many happy evenings there. We really appreciate the effort Dirk took to ensure our stay was as good as possible- advising us on local days out and making sure everything was perfect. Our highlights of the week include: canoeing at Canoe Evasion and the L’isle sur la Sorgue Sunday market. Thanks Dirk!
