Just returned from spending a wonderful week at Domaine de la Tourelle in Provence!
Not our first time to stay in and tour Provence; but, there could not be a better property for touring Provence or just relaxing. My family of 9, including myself, my wife, 2 daughters and son-in-law; and, granddaughters of 4, 12, 18 & 20, thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The facilities could not have been lovelier, all as described in VRBO, this chateau is beautiful, elegant, spacious; one of my granddaughters says it is the most beautiful house she has ever seen (and that says a lot!). Can't say enough about the grounds, secluded in beautiful forest and gardens, tennis courts, swimming pool, all of first class quality. Easily within minutes of great restaurants, historic sites and wine vineyards. Suggestions for some of our favorite stops while there: (1) Chateau Romanin vineyards & winery; (2) best casual Italian restaurant - Da Peppe in St. Remy; (3) outstanding premier white table cloth dinner - Chateau-des-Alpilles.
The location is ideal for touring Provence, located in the small town of Orgon, just miles south of Avignon (and TGV station) and +/- 10 miles east of the better known St. Remy-de-Provence, this is centrally located for trips to Avignon, Orange, St. Remy, Les Baux-de-Provence, Arles, L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, Aix-en-Provence, Gordes, Roussillon, Bonnieux, or the many other beautiful and historic sites of Provence. In spite of the crazy times caused by the Pandemic, the proprietors, Joelle and her son Antonin, could not have been more informative, supportive and cooperative both prior to and during our stay.
A vacation here was, for our family, truly a "once in a lifetime experience"!!! Don't miss the opportunity to enjoy it for yourself! Thank to Joelle and Antonin. Hope to have the opportunity to enjoy again.!!!
