Our group of three families visited Villa Lumiere in July 2019 and it exceeded our expectations in every way! It's spacious and tastefully decorated with custom furniture & art. The location was ideal; close to Bonnieux, Gordes, Lourmarin, LaCoste, and L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue. There are numerous restaurants and wineries within a short drive and the town of Les Imberts is walkable and quaint.
The modern bedrooms all have very comfortable beds, linens, and pillows. Each has a lovely en suite bathroom with plush towels, and great AC units. We were very thankful for the AC units working so well as our visit was in the midst of a heatwave!
The property is gated and just inside is a beautiful olive tree lined drive leading to a garden of lavender and other large trees and shrubs surrounding the villa and vineyards. There was even a small pond in the front with a giant frog! The pool area is spacious and there is plenty of seating and shade. The kids really loved the sunning shelf in the pool as well as running in the grassy yard and playing ping pong.
We enjoyed the services of two villa endorsed chefs during our stay; Frederic and Yvan. Both were outstanding! On nights we didn't have the chef we enjoyed cooking in the large kitchen. It's super well equipped with two sinks, two refrigerators, many modern appliances, plenty of silverware, dishes, glassware, etc. The washer & dryer both worked well!
We mostly self toured the area with the exception of one organized/chauffeured wine tour north near Avignon in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape region. Highly recommend the knowledgable Mike of Wine Safari. He shared his love of the region and wines in a fun and interesting way.
Leading up to our stay we had several interactions with the owner, Patrick, and the property managers, Remy & Caroline. All three of them were exceptionally helpful and prompt in their correspondence. We were greeted by Remy & Caroline when we arrived and they could not have been a more pleasant and friendly couple offering many wonderful suggestions for where to eat, shop, sightsee, etc. They are the kind of people with whom you'd like to sit down and chat with for hours over a nice glass of wine!
Our week at the Villa was simply superb in every way!
