Lovely, quiet gîte in the hills of Provence

Lovely setting. Easy to get to. Perfect local to discover local history and Provence scenery and wine. Laura and Jean Jacque met us at arrival and prepared our stay. Check out was also easy. The gite was as expected. A very comfortable place to stay. Thank you!

Nice property, pretty much as advertised. Owners were very communicative, helpful & pleasant, check in & out easy. The bed was really comfortable, kitchen was well stocked with everything you need from breakfast to evening meal. It has a nice terrace outside, but we didn’t use it to eat out on as the wind was unusually strong while we were there. I would imagine that in full summer, the shaded part of the terrace would give some welcome relief from the sun. The bathroom was good & it was nice to have a shower with some power in it. On our trip so far, the showers have been little more than a trickle, so this was a bonus for us! It’s situated in a quiet area, close to the shops & restaurants in town & was ideally close to our visits to Arles, the Camargue & Pont du Gard. Note though that there’s quite a (short) steep rise from the road to steps, so maybe not so suitable for the infirm-contact the owners first if in any doubt, I’m sure they’ll respond appropriately. We enjoyed our stay & the friendliness of the owners was incomparable & would definitely recommend it as a great base for exploring the area.

The apartment was like home; spacious and comfortable. We loved the terrace and the quiet neighborhood. Laura is an awesome host and provided a few extras that we needed. We would stay there again if visiting that part of Provence.

The only drawback for me was the access. There is a very steep drive and then 13 steps with a very wobbly railing and a loose stone/step at the bottom. Other than the access it’s a great position for exploring Provence. Perfect location. Beaucaire is a lovely town with great restaurants overlooking the boats on the river. Supermarkets very close by. It would have been nice to have a little welcome booklet with hints on the best bakery, restaurants etc. Also there was no information about leaving the property? Where to put garbage etc. we only saw the owners on arrival and we saw them going off to work. Perhaps language was the issue.

We had a pleasent two week holidays in Beaucaire, which is the perfect location to visit many interesting sites in the region Provence and Camargue. Within 30 min. with a car you can reach Pont Du Gard, Nimes, Avignon, Arles, Orange. And within 50 - 60 min you can reach Aigues Mortes and St. Marie de la mer in the camargue. The appartment is clean and comfortable and has a large terrace. It was a pleasure for us to have our breakfast every morning on the terrace. We did not cook ourselves, because in most cases we had our dinner outside in a restaurant. But the kitchen is fully equipped, that you can prepare your meals yourselves, if you want. We stayed there with 2 people, but there is an additional bedroom for children. The appartment is located 1 - 2 km outside the center of Beaucaire. So it is better to have a car available, both to do the shopping and of course to visit the famous sites in the region. The house owner is living in the same house in the upper level. Thank you, Laura and Jean Jaques, for the warm welcome and for giving us the opportunity to spend a fantastic holiday in your appartment.
