The Drôme Valley is halfway between Lyon and Avignon in the South-East of France. The climate is almost Mediterranean, with 2,400 hours of sunshine per year and, usually, dry summers. As always in the South of France, one may sometimes experience a few windy days: it is part of the landscape of the South!
The Domaine de Vincenti is 3 kilometers away from the small town of Crest, with its famous medieval tower. One can find anything in Crest: supermarkets, bookstores, bakeries, butchers, wine shops, hair dressers, post office, organic food stores, fruit and vegetable shops, restaurants, bistros, pharmacies, doctors, gas stations, garages ... and a large open market every Saturday morning. In Crest, visit the beautiful ancient tower which overlooks the town since 900 years and offer spectacular views of the valley. In the area, there are also quantities of charming old villages to discover, often perched on hilltops, with their ancient streets, their country bistros and unassuming restaurants.
Everywhere, the region offers varied and enchanting landscapes: plains and colorful agricultural valleys, vineyards, fields of lavender, fruit trees and truffle oaks; wild hills and mountains with Provencal accents… A little further away, at 1h15, discover the mythical old cities of Avignon and Lyon, loaded with history, charming with their lively pace and diversity, both listed on the UNESCO World Heritage. Throughout the year, participate in many cultural events available in the area: festivals, exhibitions, concerts...

    Dear Brigitte,
    we spent 3 days as a family group in Domaine de Vincenti last week and just wanted to thank you so much for a beautiful holiday. We loved everything about the house and grounds and couldn't recommend it highly enough. Both yourself and Bernard were so lovely to deal with and every last detail was thought about to make our stay so pleasant.
    I have already given your Villas details to two friends!
    I also wanted to thank you for giving me catering recommendations. We had Serge (Le champ dans les arbes) who was excellent. He delivered us beautiful food for 3 nights and was very reasonable. It made our holiday even more relaxing!
    We hope to do a return visit in the future and in the meantime, thanks again!
    kind regards,
    Helen
