"Les Oliviers" at MOULIN DE LA ROQUE

Description from the owner

PLEASE SEE OUR REVIEWS ON TRIP ADVISOR (main site),type in "MOULIN DE LA ROQUE, NOVES". Les Oliviers is part of the historic domaine of Le MOULIN DE LA ROQUE, a stunning twelve acre gated estate situated in the heart of Provence between Saint Remy and Avignon. Completely secluded, the Moulin is accessible by two private drives shaded by old hovering Plane trees on one side and a beautiful flowing stream on the other. A little village of charming cottages/villas (each with private terrace and well secluded from the other), the Moulin de la Rouqe is spacious and private making it perfect for families with children, family renuions, romantic g...etaways and elderly traverlers. Baron Fallon and his American companion, Gabrielle Janney live on the estate and are there to assist you with anything you need whether it be translation, advice, the French culture, touring, directions or anything you need.

You can walk into the quaint village of Noves (very athentically French and non touristy) where you can enjoy the local cafes, open air market, or pick up your daily baguette at a charming patisserie. Or, take one of the paths leading off the main garden and enjoy incredible vistas on over 370 acres (150 hectares) of forest and hiking trials.

THE ESTATE is alive with the essence of the South of France where history is rich and the weather unsurpassed. When you arrive, your senses will immediately be tantalized by the scents of thyme and rosemary which grows wild all around the property as well as the gentle fragrance of lavender so famous to Provence. But the beauty of the dazzling sunlight as it bathes adjacent vineyards, orchards, and olive groves is what tourists and artists from around the world flock to Provence to experience.

BARON GUY FALLON, discovered this unique treasure 17 years ago and fell in love with it. Over the years, he has since tastefully and artfully renovated this 300 year old mill into an enchantingly attractive setting. Each year, with his companion, Gabrielle they continue to renovate and update the estate with tasteful charm and careful attention to detail. With a unique setup of individual buildings, it is reminiscent of an old Provencal village (an unusual feature to find on such a traditional estate in Provence).

THE MOULIN now includes five charming villas around the main garden and four delightful lodgings cleverly integrated into the historic old mill. Each villa and lodging is unique and has been designed to provide modern convenience with old world charm. Decorated in cheerful simple Provencal style, all are fully equipped with everything you will need to stay a week or a month. Exceptionally large, each villa and lodging can enjoy their own private terrace and barbecue.

AN INSPIRING SETTING for groups, painting workshops, weddings, business meetings, families and couples, the Moulin de la Roque can accommodate almost any requirement. There are two ample meeting/workshop/dining rooms, a large secluded swimming pool with surrounding terrace, covered cabana and poolhouse with shower and toilet facilities, a petanque court (Provencal ball game),two trampolines, and other recreational facilities for children as well as adults. An expansive lawn allows for beautiful views and lots of space to run or play for the children.Read more

  Wonderful time

  Left on 07/18/2012 for a stay in June 2012
  
  

  We just returned from a wonderful stay at Moulin De La Roque. 'Les Oliviers' was a lovely house to spend the week in with our three young children, and the grounds were not only beautiful, but fun for our family. We loved our time by the pool, and the children loved playing badminton, jumping on the trampoline, and running in the grass. The owners and hosts are very friendly and immensely helpful. We look forward to a return very soon!

  Excellent family vacation rental in Provence

  Left on 05/19/2012 for a stay in April 2012
  
  

  Excellent location in a small quiet town with easy parking, easy access to all the sights, activities and food.
  The estate is beautiful and well maintained. There are so much space for kids to roam around and activities to keep them occupied.
  The accommodation is just like the pictures on the web site - very clean, very comfortable and spacious. Good quality linens and towels. Well-equipped kitchen.
  The hosts are very friendly and made many great suggestions for local towns, markets, and shops.
  We would definitely return and would not hesitate to recommend Moulin de la Roque to friends.
