Hideaway amongst Les Cigales
This is a lovely little second floor gîte. Only two rooms plus a bathroom and balcony but everything you will need including a red squirrel, a view of the vines and air conditioning. It is comfortable, well equipped and tastefully decorated.The owners make this clear in their description but it wouldn’t suit people with limited mobility or small children. The tiny hamlet is close to a number of famous wine villages with restaurants ranging from the hearty to the refined. There is much to see within striking distance, the top of Mont Ventoux or the Pope’s Palace at Avignon, for example. The place was spotless and the manager solicitous from the start. She texted to warn us, for example, that the water was off due to an accident and offered to bring us bottles. We were fine as we were wandering around a street market in Orange and it was fixed by the time we got back. One minor plea, can you add an oyster knife please to the well equipped kitchen? I managed with a waiter’s friend but it wasn’t easy. As I hope is evident, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would highly recommend staying here.

At Home in the Vineyards
We are a couple who spent 2 wonderful weeks in early September relaxing at this comfortable apartment in Fontbonne. While we have vacationed in this area previously, this was our first time staying in this apartment and we were very impressed. Our hostess, Katia, welcomed us as we drove in and introduced the apartment details to us. She is friendly and helpful while not intruding on your privacy. Her own house is located next door to the independent apartment building and we had exclusive use of the fenced yard with a ground level patio and an upstairs balcony. The apartment is located on the first floor and the ground floor is unoccupied. The kitchen is well supplied with appliances, dishes, and utensils and is perfect for preparing your own meals. We usually ate on the balcony which has a great view overlooking the vineyards below. The bathroom and closet are off the kitchen and the large bedroom with its comfortable bed is 3 steps down from the kitchen level. Be aware that the apartment is located on the first floor and is accessed by outside stairs. Fontbonne is a small hamlet in the middle of the vineyards outside of Vacqueyras and offers the opportunity for hikes along the small roads and hills in the area as well as visits to historic sites and wineries. Excellent restaurants are found in Beaumes de Venise, and supermarkets are in Sarrians, about a 15 minute drive. This apartment is a great base from which to explore this region of Provence.

Fontbonne
We had an excellent stay. The property was perfect with everything you could possibly need. The views from the terrace were absolutely stunning across the vineyards to the river. We spent every breakfast and dinner on the terrace thinking of how lucky we were to enjoy that vista. It was perfect for our dog who was secure in the garden and loved the walks through the vast expanse of the surrounding vineyards. Katia was nothing short of amazing. She is one of the friendliest, smiling and positive people we have met. She knows a lot! We absolutely enjoyed those chats over a glass of wine. I would love to return and we are telling everyone what a wonderful, quiet location it is.

Views and Vines
We very much enjoyed staying here for a week. The house sits on a small ridge facing west with lovely views across the Vacqueyras Vines. The hamlet is very quiet. The house itself has lots of character. The bedroom is huge and airy with windows on two sides. The bed was large and very comfortable and there were two arm chairs. Bathroom good. The second room was much smaller and included the kitchen and a sofa. Effectively there is no living area. However there is a lovely terrace and we ate all our meals there. There is no TV which was good for us! Vacqueyras was 2.5k away but has very limited services. Reasonable cafe, butcher that was closed (temporarily we think) and a bar that sold terrible baguettes. You really have to drive 6-10 k for food shopping. Ben was our contact. Communication with her was excellent and we really appreciated her providing us with the key to the garage so we could store our bikes securely. Good place for 2 people if you like peace and quiet and are happy to drive for baguettes.

Absolutely Fantastic!
We loved our stay in Font Bonne. The property itself s wonderful, the decor and furniture is lovely, and the space is great. The bedroom is so nice; calming and spacious, and the view from the bedroom is stunning! The garden is really amazing, it is very large, and all the plants and shrubs (both in pots and in the garden itself) are lovely. It is a great space to hang out. Having both the balcony and the terrace is fantastic, so there's basically always a shady spot to sit. We had our two dogs with us and we were very happy to see that the garden was secure so we could let our dogs off without worrying about them being able to escape (although I would check this for yourself, as all dogs are different, but ours are quite escape-y). Font Bonne is very nice, as is the surrounding area. There are so many different beautiful villages and cities to visit, as well as tons and tons of vineyards. Or you can just hang out in the garden and do very little. We tried really hard to think of anything negative or that could be improved on, but can't think of anything at all! We would definitely go back to this wonderful property.

Peace and comfort
We were looking for a quiet, peaceful retreat and Katia’s Cottage was perfect! Centrally located near Orange, Avignon, Nimes, Gordes, Arles, Carpentras and in the middle of the lower Rhône valley with numerous excellent small vineyards all around! Vacqueyras has many small and wonderful vineyards! The cottage is, as advertised, authenticity French, with incredible “finds” both natural and antique from the area. Yet modernized with everything you need to cook and be comfortable. Local markets with fresh foods made us want to cook and, except for a oven we had everything we needed 🥰 And then, my favorite, the Jardin🤩! Outstanding, sunny and beautiful, overlooking masses of vineyards 🥰 easily accessible for long walks, even down to the Ouveze river. You will have sunset from the Jardin and soft mornings in the west facing bedroom’s comfortable bed Days can be spent quietly or with easy day trips 🥰 and then the gracious assistance and information from Katia and Benedicte and Marie ♥️ Thank you 😊 we loved our stay 💕 We hope to be back 😘 Pamela and John

Perfect Gite in ideal location
An ideal get away from it all Gite for 4 in a lovely peaceful location. Spotlessly clean, traditional feel but with all mod cons. A very well equipped Kitchen and a very comfortable new bed. The views from the terrace are amazing from the vineyards stretching out for miles to the family of red squirrels playing in a nearby tree. Katia is a marvellous and discreet host, we were welcomed with local wine and peaches. Katia is a mine of useful information about the local area and beyond. We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday here and would highly recommend Font Bonne.

Beautiful accommodation in a beautiful setting
Pictures looked wonderful so we were more than happy when the real thing turned out to be just as tranquil and stylish as hoped. The house was spacious and decorated beautifully, especially the bedroom. Having stayed in many properties where the beds were rock hard, it was lovely to sleep on a quality comfortable mattress. Katia (sorry if spelt wrong!) was a wonderful host making us feel so welcome, she could not do enough to make our stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. Though her house shared the garden, during our stay we had complete privacy and thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful flowers, insects and the choice of seating areas. Would love to go back!

Charming part of the world
Vacqueyras is a charming village and the property is surrounded by lovely countryside - vines everywhere! The apartment is very comfortable - south facing so can be very warm. The owner couldn't be more hospitable. Lovely casual restaurant in the town centre - to be recommended.

Picturesque
As stated before in the reviews the view from this apartment is really stunning. The balcony is a perfect place to eat or just sit, overlooking the vineyards.The garden is beautiful and relaxing. A nightingale was singing in the tree before the house during our entire stay and squirls came to visit everyday. You can also hear the sound of the tractors in the vineyard, but we considered that part of the Vacqueyras experience. We did not meet the owner, but the communication through WhatsApp with her caretaker Ben was very considerate. As the owner was not at home, we had the entire garden at our disposal. We were glad about that, because it was not mentioned in the description that the apartment is situated in the owner's garden. Since no one mentioned it in the reviews, it might not be a problem, but we like our privacy. The bedroom is very beautiful and spacious, the kitchen/living area might be a little bit crampy if you have to stay inside (as happened to us one evening, because of wind and rain). But I don't expect that to happen very often in the Provence.

Wir haben die Tage Ende März/ Anfang April in dem gut ausgestatteten Haus sehr genossen. Es ist ideal für ein Paar. Für mehr Personen würden wir es nicht empfehlen. Auch unser Hund hat sich in dem kleinen Garten und bei den Spaziergängen an den nahe gelegenen Fluss wohl gefühlt. Wir empfehlen das Haus auf jeden Fall weiter!

Traumschöner Urlaub
Von Anfang bis Ende ein wunderbarer Urlaub. Trotz intensivster Sonne, konnte das Steinhaus relativ kühl gehalten werden. Ausstattung war umfangreich und uns hat nichts gefehlt. Katia hat uns mit Obst, Konfitüre und Wein empfangen und alles wunderbar erklärt. Ausflüge mit dem Auto im 80 km Radius haben uns an tolle Orte gebracht. Vom Mont Ventoux über Avignon, bis Arles und Kloster Senanque.... Einkaufen war gut in Sarrians möglich und morgens Baguette mit dem Fahrrad im 3 km entfernten Vacqueras. Überhaupt Fahrradfahren geht prima dort vor Ort. Alles in allem sehr zu empfehlen für Menschen die absolute Ruhe und Individualität suchen. Herzlichen Dank an Katia und Ben für die gute Betreuung und den abendlichen Sonnenuntergang in den Weinfeldern von der Terasse aus zu sehen.
