Mas de la Gonnette is tucked away in the beautiful landscape of Venasque. It's the perfect place if you need a tranquil holiday away from the city and technology (yeah, the Wifi is almost non-existent). The hostess, Anne-Francoise, is really sweet and helpful. She was there to greet us upon our arrival. The place was quite dusty but there was enough hand disinfectant to go around. It's quite centrally located: a 20 minute drive to Carpentras; a 5km walk/drive to St Didier (we highly recommend the walk - the views are magnificent); a 30 minute drive from Gordes and the Abbaye Notre-Dame de Senaque. The bakeries in St Didier have the most delicious baguettes, olive breads and almond croissants (along with other pastries). Also, be sure to try the glorious Cavaillon melon from Provence and some olive tapenade with those baguettes.

It's quite a drive from the main road. The road to the cottage is also not the greatest. Also, the idea of a "gite" was very new to us (it's not too clear in the description). We weren't aware that we had to bring own supplies; rubbish bags, toilet paper, dishcloths, dishwasher tabs, etc. Perhaps it should have been clearer in the description.

The hostess was kind and very chatty. The room was spacious in a typical French country style.

It was quite far away from the main road which is very tedious when you're only with bikes.
