Violes Domaine Grand-Père Jules Hotels

"The rooms are on the small side but clean and comfortable, with a well-equipped kitchen. The beautiful staircase is a bit tricky for the elderly -- biggish steps and no handrail. Air-con is excellent. It's very quiet but a five-minute walk from baker and cafe. The small pool was much enjoyed, and is intended for swimmers. Beautiful old wall at one side of the garden, which merges into vines at the bottom. Very agreeable hosts, who will leave you alone unless needed. The village is lovely and compares well with its neighbours Gigondas, Vacqueyras and Beaumes."

"This is exactly the kind of place you hope to find, but never seem to be able to - truly kind and helpful host, clean and spacious (and beautiful) room with gorgeous views over the vineyards, and an amazing breakfast (homemade jams and granola (!), as well as the best local breads, cheeses, and meats - truly a standout) each morning. Absolutely gorgeous gardens and pool, too!"

"Very friendly host, nice house and lovely quiet garden close to a small river. The supermarket and butcher is at walking distance. Beautiful environment!"
