Le Refuge Provençal des Vignes

Le Refuge Provençal des Vignes is a welcoming Provençal farmhouse that feels made for gathering. Set at the foot of Mont Ventoux, this spacious property combines two independent dwellings joined by a lovely enclosed garden, perfect for families, friends, or groups traveling together. Inside you’ll find bright, generous living spaces with plenty of room to share meals, relax, and enjoy each other’s company. With eight comfortable bedrooms and six bathrooms in total, there’s space for everyone to spread out while still feeling connected. Outside, a heated pool (open seasonally), playground, and shaded corners invite you to enjoy the Provençal sun at your own pace.

It has a great location that makes it easy to experience some of Provence’s most beloved sights. The bustling town of Carpentras is just minutes away, with its lively Friday market and sweet treats like candied fruit. For a day trip, you can sip wines in nearby Gigondas and Vacqueyras, wander the ochre-colored streets of Roussillon, or explore historic Avignon with its stunning Palais des Papes. Families will also enjoy the nearby Spirou and Wave Island amusement parks in Monteux. Whether you’re pedaling through vineyards, heading up Mont Ventoux, or simply lingering over a glass of rosé on the terrace, La Bastide des Vignes offers an inviting base for your Provençal adventure.

Carpentras is a lively Provençal town with deep roots stretching back to Roman times, yet it still feels wonderfully down-to-earth. At its heart is a maze of narrow streets, shaded squares, and centuries-old fountains, perfect for wandering at a leisurely pace. The town is best known for its famous Friday market, one of the oldest and most colorful in Provence, where stalls overflow with olives, cheeses, spices, and fresh produce from the surrounding countryside. Carpentras also has a sweet side—don’t miss its candied fruit, a specialty here since the 14th century, or the chance to sip wines from the nearby Ventoux and Rhône Valley vineyards.

Surrounded by rolling hills and overlooked by the legendary Mont Ventoux, Carpentras makes an ideal base for exploring the best of Provence. Within a short drive, you can visit medieval villages like Venasque and Pernes-les-Fontaines, stroll the ochre cliffs of Roussillon, or step into the papal history of Avignon. Outdoor lovers will enjoy cycling or hiking in the Ventoux area, while food and wine enthusiasts will find endless opportunities to taste local specialties in nearby markets and wineries. Carpentras combines small-town charm with easy access to Provence’s iconic landscapes, offering both relaxation and discovery right at your doorstep.
