My husband and I with our 3 month old baby stayed here for a 3 night vacation in July 08. After a little difficulty in finding the domaine (don't follow the map on their website, its not that good!) we arrived to find the gorgeous stone mas looking even better than it does on the website. Corinne and Gil have created an open house feel to the place and their friendly and relaxed style make you feel at home straight away. Our room was located at the end of the house up an external stone staircase, the room of the writer, again it looked better than the website pictures on arrival! We loved the individual decor and it was clean and spacious enough for us to set up the baby bed as well. On our first evening we dined at the domaine and we recommend you try to eat there at least one night of your stay. The evening kicked off with all guests meeting in the open air lounge area for aperitif with Corinne and Gil, and this gave everyone a chance to chat before all 10 guests being seated at the large dining table. A nice touch was the seperate dining table for the younger guests who were served before the adults with Corinne and Gil's daughters organising some card games afterwards which worked very well with the many different nationalities in attendance! Our home cooked dinner was excellent, 4 courses, with wine, very worth the 29euros per head price. The morning breakfast was a leisurely affair around 9.00am with the standard French fair of croissants, fresh bread, confitures and fruit. Many guests took advantage of the local masseuse who Corinne will book for you to have a massage on site. We enjoyed the pool during the afternoons after sight-seeing and liked to watch the owners horses in the large fields in the grounds. For sight-seeing trips to Gordes, Roussillon are a must. For eating we recommend the semi-gastro Bistro in Cabrieres D'Avignon for an evening meal, be sure to phone and book a table. We would definately stay at the domaine again, Corinne and Gil have created a free spirited, relaxed atmoshere that you'll not find in larger hotels.
