Favourite place in France!

This is the fourth time we have rented this property. We love it that much, and everything about it is perfect. Check out our other reviews if you want details, but the above says it all.

Perfect house in Vaucluse!

We stayed here last summer, and enjoyed it so much we rented again. We are already planning to book again for 2019! We love the house itself: historic with just the right mix of modernisation. Excellent kitchen, luxurious bathroom, and the main rooms overlook the historic square with fountain. The top floor terrace is ideal for dinners and then stargazing over vineyards and hills of the Dentelles du Montmirail.

Sympathetically renovated property perfectly situated in the medieval city of Vaison-la-Romaine

We recently stayed at this beautifully charming house in Vaison-La-Romaine and were over the moon with our time here. The house has been perfectly renovated in keeping with the old town characteristics and charm. It provided a large and comfortable living space with all the amenities we needed and more and was a short and beautiful walk down into the old town. Should we ever visit Vaison again we would most definitely want to stay in this beautiful house again.

Viva Vaison

We had a great week in Provence with this beautiful home as our base of operations. Incredible setting in the medieval city on the hill overlooking the modern section of Vaison la Romaine. The house is wonderfully restored, beautifully furnished and decorated, and equipped with everything you need for a wonderful vacation. The views from every window and the rooftop terrace remind you that you are in a different time and place. Wow!

Yet another great visit

We have stayed here before, and everything was perfect as always. One big improvement is that the house now has fiber internet, and speeds are really fast. If you need to do any work, 200 Mbps speeds (just tested now) is more than enough! I should also mention how beautiful the house is from the outside as well as inside. We went to look as some postcards yesterday, and it is kind of cool to see the house you live in be one one of the cards!

Medieval charm, modern conveniences

This is a stunning house done over beautifully to include all modern conveniences. It faces a charming old square centered on a huge tree and a trickling stone fountain. The handsome stone stairs were a challenge for us, no longer young, but worth it. Be aware that parking is not easy and food shopping requires a car. This area is primarily residential. But if you want an authentic experience of life long ago, this is it.

Twice in one summer!

We rented this house in July of 2018 and loved it...we were very sad to leave, and thought "until next year." As a result of some weird business travel plan changes, we were "stuck" in France for a week, and had to stay somewhere. As luck would have it, our favourite house was available, so we booked immediately. We had a perfect seven nights. If anything, it was even better than our stay earlier in the summer. Some nights were too cool to eat on the third floor terrace, so we had our first dinners in the main room, and loved them just as much as our rooftop dinners. Check in and check out were flawless as before, and we are even meeting some of the neighbours, all of whom wave and chat and are most friendly.

Autumn in Provence

We've stayed in this property several times before, but only in the summer. Not only is Provence great in late October, but the property was perfect too! Some places we've rented before are not well heated, and we are always cold. This property has many electric heaters, and every room was exactly as warm as we wanted it. Also, the many large windows on the square face east, so it is wonderfully bright in the mornings, which is very nice during the shorter days. Even on rainy days, the house was comfortable and bright, and we enjoyed staying in and reading! Although it was too cold to eat on the rooftop patio, the main room dining area was perfect for dinners in as well: we ate at home seven of our eight nights! We'll almost certainly try another shoulder season stay here again!

Perfect medieval house inside the walls

This is the seventh different place we have rented in France. It was unusually large, elegant, well located, and well outfitted. Many rental places are not really set up for doing more than having breakfast, but this kitchen was fully equipped and we made eight meals there. And as a special treat we ate each dinner on the rooftop terrace overlooking the old city, vineyards and the sunsets. The house has an incredible view over the little square and fountain: we will long remember listening to the splashing of the fountain during our mornings as we woke up. The main bedroom is charming, but the smaller bedroom would only be suitable for a child. Pre-arrival emails, as well as check in and check out were all on time, friendly and flawless. The one thing I would emphasize is how extremely well put together and historic the house is. It looks good in the photos, but is even nicer in person, which is rare! We really felt like we were able to stay in a place that in most places in the world would be a special exhibit of beautiful architecture and history. For a couple we could not recommend it more highly as a home for a romantic vacation.

Wonderful stay in beautifully decorated medieval home with modern conveniences

Absolutely delightful! My wife and I and our three children thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this charming home. Ghislain and Leticia Gonsette have done a superb job in renovating this wonderful home in the heart of the Medieval portion of Vaison-La-Romaine. Situated on the Place du Vieux Marche, this home has a scenic view of the old square with its shops and running fountain. It is about a 15 minute walk to the shops of the newer part of the town, across the ancient Roman bridge. The house itself has large rooms, with beautiful stone walls, arches and stairs, the stairs being worn down by hundreds of years of usage. With a well appointed modern kitchen and modern bathrooms that were tastefully decorated in keeping with the rest of the house, we enjoyed the best of both worlds; savoring the historic ambiance but with all the modern conveniences. In spite of the July heat, the stone house provided a cool haven from the midday heat. It is well maintained and our hostess Michelle Paris made everything very easy for us. She was gracious and helpful even after our late arrival due to traffic on the drive from Paris, and was always available to answer any of our questions. This home was a wonderful base from which to explore some of the many attractions that Provence has to offer: the Roman ruins and theatre within Vaison-La-Romaine, the Pont D'Avignon and Papal Palace, the Roman antiquities of the Theatre in Orange, the Colosseum in Nimes, the aqueduct at Pont de Gard. We only stayed for one week but wished that we could have stayed longer, and hope to return in the not too distant future. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful home with us!

Beautiful and bright

We stayed here again during August and early September, and couldn't recommend the property more highly. Pictures don't even do it justice: the home is incredibly bright and well lit, even on the occasional cloudy day. The owner is super helpful and responsive. The fountain outside your bedroom window lulls you to sleep each night, and the morning sun wakes you up. Five stars for sure.

Highly Recommended

We spent 3 weeks in this beautifully restored home. Tastefully decorated, gorgeous views, quiet, really nice kitchen. Wonderful location. Very close to the Dentelles de Montmirail and Mont Ventoux (hiking and biking), Gigondas (great wine, plus a Michelin starred restaurant: L'Oustalet), and plenty of cute villages and markets to explore. Highly recommended.

Old world charm with modern conveniences

This beautifully, lovingly restored 15th century home symbolizes France’s history in the Vaison-la-Romaine area. It is tastefully decorated, maintaining the old world charm. Kitchen is great and well outfitted. It’s in a fantastic location – easy to walk into town. We loved being in the medieval upper village and still be able to walk into the lower village. We were able to take some great hikes in the area and it’s easy to visit neighboring villages and wineries. After traveling through France for 10 days it was a welcome respite to have a lovely home for two weeks. We even took a cooking class in Vaison, Cuisine de Provence. There are a number of very good restaurants within walking distance. A couple of items to keep in mind. Because it is four stories ( we mostly just used the second and third floor- kitchen living area and bedroom ), be prepared to do a lot of climbing up and down stairs with some uneven surfaces. The other thing is parking can be a little tricky. We were fortunate enough to not have to park far away most of the time, but several times did have a climb up the hill to the house. Pascal, the property manager was always available, very kind and took care of any needs we had, which were few. All this being said, it was worth it! This was our favorite part of our month trip in France.

Maison très agréable au coeur de la cité médievale

La maison est simplement parfaite, décorée avec gout, très bien équipée, et extrêmement bien placée ce qui nous a permis de passer des vacances en toute sérénité. Situé en plein coeur de la cité médiévale, l'endroit est calme même en haute saison (nous avons séjourné en Aout pendant 10 jours). L'emplacement est stratégique pour visiter le Vaucluse, la Drome, l'Ardèche et le Gard. Il y a des restaurants à proximité si vous ne voulez pas faire la cuisine, dont un juste au pied de la maison dont la cour n'est visible que depuis la cuisine ce qui ne provoque aucune nuisance. Les différents équipements de la maison sont tous au top et opérationnels ( Machine à laver, Frigo, TV, Wifi...), ce qui nous a permis de planifier très facilement nos vacances au jour le jour sans aucun tracas, mais aussi de passer un bon moment en famille dans la maison (nous avons subit une journée d'orage) sans voir le temps passer. Les propriétaires ont été super réactifs (location à la dernière minute), et l'accueil a été très chaleureux et amical (cela fait du bien après 8h de route :) ). Pour résumer, nous recommandons très fortement cette superbe maison !

Rich with history and truly a sanctuary of comfort

The entire home was a treat to call home for a week. All the amenities have been tended to and my sleep was sweet while listening to the fountain in the square as my French windows remained open all night. Thank you for a beautiful stay in a magical ancienne ville.

beautiful house.

We had a very pleasant stay. The house is in walking distance to sites, shops and restaurants. The house itself is well appointed and very comfortable. The only negative for us was the stairs, a bit precarious from master bedroom to the bathroom at night. Otherwise we would highly recommend this lovely house for a holiday.

Nicht unbedingt nochmal

Wir waren zwei Wochen im August hier. In der gesamten Altstadt und am Vieux Marché war touristisch viel los. Im Hinterhof des Hauses ist ein Restaurant und Hotel (im Foto links unten kaum zu sehen). Obwohl die Altstadt eigentlich autofrei ist, gibt es bei An- und Abreise der Hotelgäste reichlich Verkehr mit Kurzparkern, gewissermaßen direkt unter dem Schlafzimmerfenster. Nachts diente der Vieux Marché oft auch als Parkplatz. Die Dachterrasse ist sehr klein, eine Terrasse eines Zimmers des benachbarten Hotels ist gleich um die Ecke, so dass man den Hotelgästen fast die Hand reichen kann. Am Abend bekommt man auf der Dachterrasse vom Restaurant im Hinterhof doch einiges mit.

Renter for 1 1/2 weeks

The house was as advertised: clean, well-cared for and obviously loved by the owners themselves. Decorating details spoke to the owners' efforts to make it aesthetically pleasing and comfortable. The house was well-supplied in terms of necessaries. We were acquainted with the location in the Haute Ville from previous visits to Vaison and knew that there were parking difficulties and that the house was difficult to access by car, but that did not disturb us. it might be wise to advise future renters of the difficulty of access. Also, a railing up to the fourth floor would be useful. Thanks for sharing the house with us.

Best of the Vaucluse

This house is lovely. Quiet, comfortable and atmospheric. The view overlooking the courtyard is of another world. Best for a luxury vacation for two. Easy walk to restaurants and sights. If you are looking for an old world experience with all the amenities of home, stay here in Vaison. And...bypass the usual Luberon villages for Vaison, especially if you have some wine tasing planned.

We have been to Vaison 4 times in the last 10 years. This house was the best.

We went to Patricia Wells cooking school which very close to the ancient city. The renovations of this home are amazing! It was a great place to stay. We would rent this property again.

A Medieval House Brought to Life

My wife and I spent a delightful week (May 27-June 3, 2017) in Casa Vasio. This 3 story, ancient house has been charmingly refurbished for the 21st Century with all modern conveniences without losing any of its historic feeling. The medieval section of modern Vaison is exactly where you want to be, with picturesque, winding , cobble-stoned streets. The house is ideally situated for exploring this old village. And the Roman ruins (the most extensive in France) are within walking distance. The owners of Casa Vasio go out of their way to be helpful and make your stay a wonderful experience.. I recommend their home without reservation. Paul and Suzanne Metzger (Virginia, U.S.A.)

Beautiful, comfortable home in a great location

We enjoyed our stay at Casa Vasio immensely. The home has been lovingly restored, retaining the beautiful stone historical elements while incorporating modern conveniences and tasteful furnishings. We loved the location in the Haute-Ville in Place du Vieux Marche. Though parking in not permitted there, we were able to drive up to the front door to unload our luggage. We were met by Michelle, a gracious woman who enthusiastically showed us all through the house, explained details we would need to know and gave excellent recommendations for restaurants and cafes, the Tuesday market and the supermarket, and wineries. Convenient parking is close by. The kitchen facilities are excellent and well supplied with everything you need to make meals at home. The bed is quite comfortable. The stairs leading up to the family room / kitchen and then up to the bedroom and full bath on the floor above are stone and require some care to negotiate, which we did not find at all difficult. The Wi-Fi is good. There is a printer available. The listing description was accurate, the property clean and well-maintained and we knew we could contact Michelle with any questions or concerns. We would definitely recommend this home to relatives and friends.
