mas de la garance — Hotel in Carpentras

I usually don't write a review but Mas de la Garance deserves one: what a great Chambre d'hôte/Bed & Breakfast. I got booked in the Nid d'Hirondelles room (it was the only one available for the period I was looking for to stay) and boy was I lucky!!!||||The room is upstairs, has it's own entrance, a balcony under a roof so you can sit outside even when it is raining with a table, chairs, a small fridge and candles to use. The room is spacious and very we'll decorated, the bathroom has 2 sinks, a walk in shower (great water pressure) and plenty of towels.||||Your hosts are very friendly, accommodating and speak English! The location is indeed not walking distance to a restaurant or a town centre but then again, it is nice and quiet at night ( and most people are driving through France anyway so ...). There is a pool, not too big but big enough to cool down after a long day running around. A small but big enough breakfast is being served outside (if the weather allows that).||||I was very happy to "live" here for a couple of days as my first stop in...

Mas de la Garance is a beautiful, restful place to stay. Our bedroom was so attractive - Marie-line's attention to detail and great taste make guests feel special. The garden is superb, with a lovely swimming pool and several areas to relax. The day beds under the trees were a favourite place. Marie-line, Xavier and their children are charming and friendly. It was also a good place to practice our French. Thank you...

Siamo stati al Mas de la Garance l'ultimo weekend di giugno 2012, in occasione di un viaggio organizzato in Provenza per vedere la fioritura della lavanda e girar per cantine. Non potevamo fare scegliere di meglio: camere bellissime e pulitissime, colazioni buonissime in giardino con marmellate fatte in casa e croissant eccezionali, piscina a nostra disposizione 24 ore su 24. Abbiamo soggiornato nella camera Fleur de Pommier, con le finestre che davano sul giardino e sulla piscina. I proprietari, gentilissimi, ci hanno consigliato sui ristorantini dove andare a cena (hanno un enorme album dove tengono tutti i bigliettini da visita e i riferimenti dei ristoranti della zona) e sui mercati provenzali più belli e suggestivi. La posizione di questa maison d'hotes è eccezionale per visitare tutta la zona di coltivazione della lavanda, da Gordes, dove troverete la bellissima Abbaye de Sénanque, a Roussillon, a l'Isle sur Sorgue con il suo bellissimo mercato. Ci ritorneremo sicuramente al nostro prossimo viaggio...
