Book a Althen-des-Paluds Cottage

"This property is in the foothills of Mount Ventoux. The views from the house are amazing. Each morning a short drive to the boulangerie In Bedoin and then sit outside the property looking down at the world going by with a coffee, fresh baguette, Comte cheese and a beef tomato you could not be anywhere better in the world. In the evening cooking outside with a bottle of wine and watch the sunset. The property had everything you need. I read in one of the reviews that they should have supplied...

"Just what we needed for the week - clean, cool space, a garden with a pool, and helpful, friendly hosts."

"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...

"Our stay could not have been better. Property was as described and perfect for us as couple with dog. Pool was beautiful. Best were our wonderful hosts - so friendly and helpful"

"Anne and Olivier are extraordinory hosts. They greeted us with wine and appetizers and gave us great advice on places to eat and visit. The restaurants they recommended were very the best as to food and ambiance. The house was very clean and a pleasure to stay in for a week. It had everything we needed. We enjoyed the proximity to Gordes (10 minute walk) and its central location in Provence. We walked and did cycling and also visited the coast for a paddle boarding adventure. A perfect stay!"

"A very enjoyable holiday. The gite was well equipped and comfortable. There was a pool on site, but due to weather conditions we didn’t manage to use it, although it looked very clean and inviting. Olivier and Edmonde were very welcoming and although they lived on site and were there if we needed them, otherwise didn’t bother us. It was a good location to explore the many pretty villages of the Luberon and further afield. Too much for us to do in one week."

"This is a very nice house, run by very nice people. It was spotlessly clean when we arrived. It appears to be recently painted or otherwise kept very clean. Opening the shutters in the bedroom when you arise is itself an inspiration. One has a magnificent view of the town of Bedoin and the surrounding mountains. Our small dog loved the large back yard. Hung about the house are beautiful pictures of the area painted by the owner herself. The owners, by the way, are available to help, but are not...

"Lovely house with everything you need for a quiet and relaxing holiday in an excellent location. Perfect for two people. Great pool and air conditioning to help out during the hot weather. We will certainly come again! Thanks to Claude for the friendly welcome and good communication. Belle maison avec tout ce dont vous avez besoin pour des vacances calmes et reposantes dans un excellent emplacement. Parfait pour deux personnes. Grande piscine et climatisation pour vous aider par temps chaud....

"The property is perfect to visit all the sites around Mount Ventoux. The swimming pool was relaxing and a perfect temperature.. it wasn’t clear to us that the vote was near to families own property. Whilst this didn’t bother us as the family kept themselves to themselves we were slightly surprised. Would definitely recommend this property to others"

"We really enjoyed the location, facilities, ambience and help from the owner. The property is very attractive, comfortable, close to a village and very convenient for the whole Luberon area. We had parking for the car and the owner was very helpful with any questions or small problems we had. We would definitely stay again."

"The gite was immaculately clean and so was the pool. The owners were very friendly and most helpful. There was ample secure parking. The facilities in the property were amazing, exceeding all expectation. We enjoyed an excellent 12 days here and hope to return."

"Après avoir roulé en moto pendant 3 h sous la pluie, nous avons eu l´agréable surprise d´être accueilli par Mathieu qui nous avait préparé un bon feu de bois. Tout était parfait, le gite (très propre et ou il ne manquait rien), même un bouquet de fleurs.les matelas sont très confortables. Une grande cour pour y ranger nos moto( Mathieu nous a même prêté une bache neuve, pour les couvrir). Encore merci Mathieu pour votre gentillesse, votre disponibilité. Nous recommandons ce gite à 100%"

"The accommodation was better than expected. The hosts were exceptionally accommodating. Would highly recommend this property."

"This is a newly modernised house with ample facilities for a small family group. Comfortable in all respects. Owners live next door but leave you alone to get on with your holiday and are there if you need them. They are very friendly and helpful. Whilst it is not a perfect location and there are some very very minor issues, overall you have to say it is a five - star experience and we would definitely return one day."

"We enjoyed it thoroughly. We didn’t understand that the accommodation was attached to the Host’s residence. Other than that, it was great."

"Malgré le mauvais temps, nous avons fait de belles visites. Les hôtes sont disponibles et adorables. Gîte idéal pour une famille, situé au calme. Voiture nécessaire"

"We had a great stay. Host was very friendly and helpful. Property was very clean, welcoming and had everything we needed for a week's stay including dishwasher and washing machine (although, the addition of a kettle would be really useful for the British tea-lovers!). A peaceful location with fantastic views of Mont Ventoux, the shaded garden would be perfect in the summer. Parking is right next to the property and its just a short drive/cycle (around 2km) from Bedoin."

"Belle propriété dans un environnement agréable. Jolis villages à visiter à proximité. Avignon facile d’accès pour savourer qq spectacles et la belle ambiance du festival"

"Nous avons eu la chance d'avoir des hotes accueillants, à l'ecoute de leur locataires. Je recommande sans hésiter"

"Pierre is an amazing person, he waited us as we were a bit late to check-in and welcome us with drinks. The place is well maintained, clean and very charming. We are regretting for staying only 3 nights as further 2 nights would be better option. If you like yoga, it is best place to practice as the view of the mountains and the green spaces will definitely help. It is very safe for kids to play outside in the garden and the swimming pool is the cherry on the cake. We were fortunate to have the...

"We hadden een leuke vakantie. Het huisje ziet eruit zoals op de foto's: prachtig zwembad en een goed uitgeruste keuken. Het meubilair is wel wat verouderd. Maar wel een goede prijs- kwaliteit verhouding. Communicatie met de eigenaar verliep zeer vlot en we werden ter plaatse goed ontvangen door zijn ouders. Het dorpje op zich is zeer rustig, maar heeft wel een bakker en supermarkt."

"I loved the location, right across the street from the old city. There was a grocery store next door, very convenient. The property seems to be student residences as well as hotel and has laundry facilities, safe bicycle storage, recycling, an exercise room and breakfast for an extra fee, which we didn't do. The bed was comfy, the kitchen was fine, the shower was great, the room was very spacious, but with a characterless, unadorned feel. Still, over all, good value. "

"The house is beautiful and spacious, lots of room to spread out. Garden beautiful and peaceful. Location close to town but far enough away to be very quiet. Loved the beverage station and large dining table. Lots of light in the living area, wifi and TV great and easy to use."
