We had a great stay at Montvallon. The owners are very friendly. They do not live nearby and we only met during our stay once. However, Elisabeth is always available. We were welcomed by Robert who is a friend of the owners with some local wine and jam. He is very kind and always ready to assist if you have a question or problem. The house and the swimming pool are very nice with a view over the vineyards. Cities in the Provence/Ardeche are nearby.

The ancient mas has been beautifully renovated. What could possibly be better than sipping a cold pasties while bobbing in the beautiful salt water pool over looking a gorgeous vineyard! Elisabeth has done a wonderful job including thinking about what a visitor would like; multiple bicycles to enjoy, flotation toys for the pool, a complete kitchen even down to a juicer for enjoying fresh squeezed orange juice every morning! Her staff comprised of Robert and Odila comprised a light-hearted and fun stay for us. Waking every morning to the beautifully fragrant Linden tree, the fruit bearing fig trees and fresh rosemary in the garden was appreciated! Evenings stretch out until 10-10:30 watching the sun go down with a glass of Cote-Du-Rhône wines from the local Visan and Valreas vintners were great; if you can, locate the Carrainne Cote Du Rohone L’Adret du Pont~Rouge. A better tasting wine in the 8-9 euro range can’t possibly exist; what a treat.we used the house as a base of operations to visit farmers markets that occur in one town or the other every day of the week in surrounding Villages. The A Delice aix Provence restaurant is superb, the Hotel Brasserie on the Main Street was very good and the waitress was as sweet as could be. We have visited Provence 10 times over 25 years and this stay, at this village, with these people as hosts made it the best trip ever!
