The Villa Theophille looks wonderful on the Trip Advisor photos - it is better in real life. It's difficult to gauge the ambience and the size from photos. The Villa is beautifully appointed and maintained. The pool and surrounding areas are perfect for families -...More

About the neighborhood
The closest village, Vacqueyras, is within easy walking distance and has a good cafe/restaurant as well as a baker, butcher, greengrocer, pharmacy and post office. The local vignerons all offer tastings and the wine co-operatives, Les Vignerons de Caractere in Vacqueyras and the Cave de Gigondas, are not to be missed. Vacqueyras celebrates its wines and those of the region each year on 13 and 14 July at the Fete des Vins and there are similar events in other nearby villages.
Walks into the Dentelles de Montmirail are very popular, as are cycle rides. There are tennis courts in Vacqueyras (1.5km), cycle hire in Beaumes de Venise (5km), and horse riding in Aubignan (5km). A beach at the Lac de Monteux features many watersports and Splashworld - the biggest water park in France, with su... more

Getting around
Public transport is in short supply but the nearest village - and its shops and restaurants - are accessible on foot. If you have guests arriving by train, and are short of time to pick them up at Avignon, there is a new spur line that runs to Carpentras and the nearest station at Monteux is just 20 minutes away by car.
Access
Car advised
How to get there
Airport: Avignon, 40mins/38km : 23.6 mi
Railway: Avignon TGV, 40mins/40kms : 24.9 mi
A car is highly recommended, to enable you to explore some of the glorious countryside and historical sites nearby, tour the vineyards of the Rhone Valley, and take in the wonderful cultural events of the region.
Many UK visitors drive all the way; the house is approximately 9 hours' driving time from Calais and the main channel ports using the motorways. If you prefer the train, the new Eurostar service, with direct services three times a week from London to Avignon in late spring, five times a week in high summer, has just made getting here by train a whole lot easier. Picking up a hire car from the nearby airports and stations couldn't be easier, the journeys are straightforward and detailed directions will be provided when bookings are confirmed.
