Description

The large 20 metre pool
La Romaine is a large house constructed in 1900, renovated in the
60's and divided into two apartments. It has earned a four star
rating from the regional Tourism bureau. It has a curved tile roof
and large masonry walls that it cool during the summer months. The
ground floor apartment opens onto a beautiful patio that leads to the
pool and the park. The walls around it guarantee privacy without
interfering with the view of the Château of the Comtes de Toulouse,
that of the archdiocese, and the bell tower of the 12th century
cathedral. Set against the backdrop of archeological digs that have
brought to life the architectural legacy of the Roman, the well
shaded park is home to a variety of species and numerous fragrances.
This beautiful setting, combined with a pool long enough to swim laps
(20m x 8m!), is guaranteed to bring the vacationer well deserved
tranquility and rest.

Amenities

The 12th century castle in Vaison la Romaine
The house is a five-minute walk from the centre of the village where
one can enjoy lively cafés and restaurants. Vaison-la-Romaine is a
medieval village whose ancestry goes back to Roman times. It is home
to a 12th century castle that has stood since the crusades and the
surrounding area is rich in culture and architecture. The town is
well frequented by tourists who come to view its great past and to
hear one the many chorales from all over the world that its
International Festival attracts throughout the summer. The village,
of course, is surrounded by vineyards of the Côte du Rhône, and there
are many cellars that offer dégustations of their products. The
renowned cookbook author and journalist Patricia Wells runs her
cooking school from Vaison. The rolling hills are crisscrossed by
numerous well-maintained small roads (départementales) that make it a
pleasure to explore the area on a bicycle. Further away is the famed
Mont Ventoux a landmark of the Tour de France, but also an enduring
source of fascination for artistes. It has been registered by UNESCO
as a World Heritage site because of its its unique geography and the
wealth of its flora and fauna.

Attractions

Les Dentelles de Montmirail
Recreational cycling is a favourite activity around Vaison but so is
rock-climbing at the Dentelles de Montmirail (pictured at right) were

the beginners. Around Vaison are the vineyards, to be sure, but also
the olive groves and the lavender fields that stretch as far as the
eye can see, offering countless possibilities for strolling, walking,
riding or driving. The cultural wealth of the region also acts as a
shining beacon, bringring people to Avignon for example where the
world renowned Theatre Festival showcases more than 4,000 plays

Gaul in the first three centuries is an endearing memory that the
traveller will forever carry around.
