We were two couples staying at L’Escalier for the first two weeks of September 2011, having a wonderful time.
The apartment is very spacious and comfortable, with all the necessities needed, including washing machine and dish washer.
The large pool area is simply fantastic; with a beautiful view over surrounding hills and vineyards, and just beside the pool area, L’Escalier has its own small terrace in shadow of the fig trees.
Our hosts, Adele and Rainer, were extremely kind and helpful, and made us really feel welcome at the wonderful, tranquil Mas des Templiers.
The whole region around Mont Ventoux is very beautiful and provides numerous possibilities for different kinds of physical activities such as hiking and biking, usually in wonderful sceneries.
It is not fair to select specific places of interest but the breathtaking Gorges de la Nesque is a must, and we also very much enjoyed the whole area around the Dentelles de Montmirail, with villages such as Seguret, Gigondas and Beaumes-de-Venise (where there are of course plenty of opportunities for tasting some excellent wine). We can also recommend a trip to Avignon (to see the Popes' Palace and Pont d'Avignon), and to the beautiful little town of L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue (the "Venice of Provence").
In the close vicinity of Mas des Templiers you’ll find small, charming villages like Bedoin (of course), Flassan, Villes-sur-Auzon, Le Barroux, and Caromb, and many more. But you should actually make your own experiences.
And if you like visiting Provencal markets, one of the best is most probably the Monday market in Bedoin itself, providing many local products and specialties.
Needless to say that we have already booked for two weeks in September 2012, this time in the smaller L’Atelier, being only one couple next time.
