Villa Lumières

Excellent…Provençal hospitality at its best

Pros: We had a wonderful stay at Villa Lumières. The property is set in the heart of Provence, with easy access to all the charming villages. Large, ensuite bedroom in a tastefully decorated house offering a delicious, varied, homemade breakfast. However, what made our stay extra special is the owner Isabelle, who is so welcoming and passionate about sharing her love/knowledge of France and its cuisine. Please, please if she asks you if you would like to dine-in one night, just say yes! The place has charm and soul😊 À bientôt!🌸

The perfect place to stay

Pros: We had a wonderful 3 night stay at Isabelle's place. The property is well located for visiting the beautiful Luberon villages and the room (with its own private bathroom) was spacious, comfortable and clean. Isabelle was a fantastic host and had plenty of helpful tips for places to visit. The breakfast was amazing and the dinner she cooked was delicious. It felt like a home away from home and we loved our stay here. There was also free parking on site.

Exceptional chambre d'hôte. A perfect base for exploring the Luberon

Pros: Isabelle the owner, is a wonderful host where nothing is too much trouble. The property is set in a relaxing and homely atmosphere and is a short distance from the picturesque village of Gault. Her evening meals are delicious, generous and highly recommended. The continental breakfast was plentiful with a good selection of items in addition to her homemade jams and yogurt. Isabelle kindly provided us with a light meal on her night off when a local restaurant had cancelled our reservation due to a thunderstorm, which was a kind gesture that was much appreciated by us and another couple staying.

Amazing host locatedin a great area of Provence to explore and be spoilt

Pros: Isabelle the host was outstanding and went out of her way to ensure we had an amazing time.

Cons: Nothing it’s a very warm environment and relaxing.

Amazing stay with an amazing hostess.

Pros: Isabelle was an amazing hostess. She made us very welcome. Always checking in to make sure we didn’t need anything. Provided us advice about upcoming bad weather. She is also a very good cook. Her food was delicious and very generous portions. Sundays are her night off. But the Sunday we were there, there was a thunderstorm and we were not sure if restaurants were opened. Instead of letting us fend ourselves she offered to cook us a meal of omelette. It was for us and another couple. She is just amazing. The pool was a great facility after a hard day of walking. We had a lovely room that opens into the garden/ pool.

Cons: Nothing. I am glad I’ve booked the place.

Pros: We had everything we needed in the room - it was a great size and the private terrace overlooking the pool was a wonderful bonus. Isabelle was a fabulous host and went above and beyond helping us with recommendations as to where to go and even letting us put some washing through her machine. We had one meal cooked by Isabelle which was fabulous and very generous. We shared it with another couple staying and the whole evening felt like a dinner party! Breakfasts were always slightly different and very ample. Overall we had a wonderful stay and can’t recommend Villa Lumières enough. Thank you Isabelle.

Pros: Isabelle was a great host, the place is well located and clean

Pros: Isabelle is the kindest, most attentive host(ess) you could wish for. Villa Lumières is a charming traditional chambre-d'hôte. Rooms are large, gardens expansive, and breakfasts excellent and varied. Isabelle offers table d'hôte most evenings. Lumières is perfectly situated in the valley between the Vaucluse and Lubéran mountains. The surrounding hill-top towns are accessible by car or bike. Mont Ventoux looms over Vaucluse. I can't imagine a better spot for spending a week in Provence. An excellent base for a cycling holiday.

Cons: The road to Gult loops around the property, and sure, you can hear some traffic. It was never disturbing, even though we slept with windows wide open.

Wonderful hospitality and breakfast

Pros: Wonderful home made breakfast Host recommendations were excellent for walks - so helpful and delightful Space outside to sit in the shade and pool area

Superb host in great location near unspoiled Goult

Pros: Owner Isabelle is a wonderful host and cook. She looked after us when one of us caught a cold, showered us with attention and gave us great breakfasts and wonderful local Provençal food at dinner at a communal table. She runs a great Inn and we cannot recommend it enough. Swimming pool, indoor bike storage, quiet nights, great Luberon location near the unspoiled village of Goult. She washed our clothes, offered us medical attention if needed and was even prepared to drive us to Avignon to catch our train.

Cons: It would only be churlish to nit pick and try and conjure up a flaw. No accommodation is perfect and neither is Villa Lumières, but the warmth of her welcome and the overall quality of the place drowns out any minor flaws.
