The little apartment was great, very roomy and greatly located in Provence to take the car and explore the region. There are not too many restaurants in the village, but if you take the car you have tons of choices about 15 mins away in Avignon. The views are incredible, walking in the village is superbe. The owners are great, helpful and very nice.

Private parking place is very helpful in this area. We already want to go back to Provence, and if we do we will definitely stay there again.

Thank you Josiane and Arthur for a great stay.

We were very happy with all aspects of the holiday and the gite. Mrs. Cook could not possibly have been kinder or more helpful. My only area of grumble is that I found the booking form a little frustrating. And it was annoying that I was unable to communicate directly a little earlier in the booking process with the owner. You told me that I still owed £200 even though I made a late booking and therefore paid in full. I communicated this to you, received a reply from Mrs. Cook but then could not answer her email and had to go to you again.
But overall we were very satisfied. T. Sanderson

We spent a very happy week here. The property surprised us by how spacious it was. It is very obviously converted from a very old building, but the conversion has been well done.

The only drawback is that the outside seating is across the road (although not that far) and outside Summer its a shame that its in shade.

 From Manchester, United Kingdom

Very satisfied and the owners were helpful and very friendly.  Situated in a great area and will stay there again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time here.  We booked for 3 weeks to were a bit nervous about how it might be.  We wanted to spend time in a genuine French village rather than a city.  It was everything we thought it would be, in fact the services in the town were better than we had imagined.  
We used public transport for most of the time which worked out fine for us.  We also rented a car for some days to explore further afield and this was a necessity for doing that. 
Arthur and Josieann were very busy in the vineyard but were always easy enough to catch later in the evening when we needed them.  They were a good help to us. 
We would definitely recommend this place to our friends and a return trip.

New Zealand

Rocheford-du-Gard made a perfect anchor for our exploration of the Roman ruins of Orange, Arles, Vaison-les-Romains, and Nimes. Arthur and Josiane were welcoming, and a roaring fire in the hearth greeted us upon arrival. If you go in the springtime, be aware that the tile floors can be cold. The village is charming, with two excellent boulangeries within a short walk. There is only one restaurant in town, so if youre not planning to cook dinner, be prepared to drive into Avignon or Villeneuve for dinner (we actually worked dinner into several of our day trips and found wonderful restaurants further afield in Avignon, we loved Piedole and La Fourchette). Our only caveat on renting this gite is if youre tall and used to a queen-size bed, the bed will feel short. Im 510" and my husband is 62" and neither of us could stretch out full length because of the footboard on the double bed. But that was a small thing and would not preclude a return visit or a hearty recommendation to others to stay here.

The apartment is located in a small but lovely town and is in a great location for exploring the region.  There is an enormous amount to see within an hours drive of the apartment and I highly recommend both the area and the apartment as a base. The owners were very helpful.

Australia

We thoroughly enjoyed our time in France in this lovely gite – it’s a perfect size for two people, or for a small family, and is beautifully kept, cozy and in a great location for exploring the whole area (although the village itself is fairly quiet, Avignon is a mere 10 minutes away). Our hosts were great making us feel very welcome, and the open fire and unlimited wood was fantastic as it was a fairly cold April this year!  Authur gave us some great tips on local wines (even lending me one of his books on the vineyards in the area), and the information provided on arrival and the brochures and leaflets will give you more info on the local area that you will need, so definitely recommended - perfect for a week relaxing, exploring the local area, drinking wine and eating cheese!

 From London, United Kingdom

Highly recommended. We agree with the comment by an earlier reviewer that the photographs do not do the gite justice. We have stayed in a dozen or so gites over the years and this was the nicest. Josiane and Arthur were very welcoming and provided everything we needed, without being the least bit intrusive. Having the bakers very close by and a small supermarket about ten minutes' walk away is very convenient. The location is very good for anyone interested in historical towns and Roman antiquities, being close to Pont du Gard, Nimes, Arles, Orange, Avignon. There are also scenic hill top villages and other attractions nearby. We are certainly not wine experts, but found Arthur's tour of his vineyards very interesting. Make sure you leave some space in your luggage to bring some of his wine back!

 From Cambridge, United Kingdom

What a welcoming surprise to find a fire burning in the fireplace awaiting our arrival! We felt immediately at home. The apartment had lots of charm yet everything was modern and perfectly clean. Arthur and Josiane were very friendly and helpful - a pleasure to get to know. We enjoyed being in the village and it was conveniently located to visit the rest of Provence on day trips. A perfect vacation!
