Amazing property with great outdoor space

We stayed for a week with our family in this wonderful converted monastery. This property has lots of space both inside and out. We particularly enjoyed the covered area outside where we could eat each day as it provided some shade from the sun, and also the amazing pool that had plenty of sitting areas. Our 2 year old granddaughter loved exploring the well kept garden and the little caravan. The inside of the property is very spacious with lots of space to relax in. Claudia the owner lives nearby and was very helpful, giving us advice on places to visit and sorting out any little problems. I would recommend this property to a large group who are looking for a peaceful place to stay.

About the host

Hosted by Claudia Bear Patchett

Claudia and Nick are English and have been living in France for over twenty years. We used to live in Paris.

Why they chose this property

We love the area and this is quite a remarkable unusual find.

What makes this property unique

This is an exceptional spacious property in Provence, with a vast 90M main banquet hall and fireplace, there is quite simply nowhere like the Monastery in the area - it is perfect for celebrating family events like Christmas, Birthdays etc; and ideal for a honeymoon getaway. Loads to do, wine-tasting, cycling up the Mont Ventoux, antiquing or enjoying the pool with kids.
