Music and History
How wonderful to live in the history of previous travelers from the 1500's and on. This is a place filled with light, wonderful sounds of music, as the musician of the family works on her music, and kindness. You could not find nicer people. Ian and Axelle are very generous with their time and knowledge of the area. The house is centrally located, very clean and beautifully appointed. I will return again for more time in this magical home.

Apartments with great history and amazing view
During a long weekend I stayed at Le Vieil Hopital with a group of 6 other cyclists. On arrival we were greeted by Ian & Axelle and showed to our apartments (we rented both of them). The top one I stayed in was amazing with a view upon one of our destinations that weekend, Le Mont Ventoux, from the lovely and very big terras. We mainly used this apartment to cook and eat in with the entire group as it is the biggest of the two. The facilities were very good and well maintained with plenty of space for your bike. Furthermore I always like it when an apartment has a good solid bed that isn't too soft and a hot shower with good pressure but these things seem to be hard to find. However this time I was pleasantly surprised. The apartments are in a very old house with plenty of history which provides a great feel to the place. See their website for more information on that http://www.levieilhopital.com/ If I had to name one downside it has to be the wifi signal which wasn't as strong in all the areas of the top most apartment. That being said if I ever stay in the same region again I would definitely stay here.

Fairy tale place for insiders
We had four lovely days in Le Vieil l'Hopital as our starting point to explore Luberon area. Axelle & Ian offered us not only an accomodation but a house with spirit and soul, where they move like being characters in a novel of good old time. We made three routes from Caromb that reached easily our aimed places to visit: Isle sur les sorgues- Gordes-Venasque; Roussillion-Lourmarin-Bonieux-Menerbes; Seguret-Vaison la romane. Every evening we were staying on the open terrace with a glass of rose wine from the area, having Ventoux mountain in front of us like in a picture. I met Axelle&Ian friends one evening and I was feeling a conviviality beyond the nationality, language but mainly based on sharing the same values of simplicity and genuinity. All my best wishes to Kelly from Carolina,USA. So, if you look mainly for comfort and luxury, try to find another place. But if you really want to enjoy a genuine experience and to go more deeply in the beauty of Provence, le Vieil l'Hopital is one of the best choise. I still have in my hearing the sound of the music that Axelle was playing to the electric quitar, just for herself,alone, in their strange open living...

Great place, hospitable hosts (on site), lovely village in a great area. Thoroughly recommended. You'll be staying in a historic building which has been nicely decorated, with what you need for 21st century holidaying.
