Excellent holiday villa with private pool. Large and very pleasant enclosed garden. Air conditioning on the first floor. Within walking distance of the village, 15km from historic Avignon.
This wonderful 5-bedroom property with private pool is set within immaculate grounds, perfectly maintained by the owners who always make sure holidaymakers have a great time.
The property is located in the small village of Caumont sur Durance, just 15km east of Avignon, at the foot of the beautiful Luberon mountains. It is a typical little Provencal village with narrow streets and historic church surrounded by undulating hills dotted with olive groves.
The villa is in a peaceful setting allowing you to get away from everything while being close to many wonderful towns and villages such as famous Avignon (15km), the ‘Venice of Provence’ L’Isle sur la Sorgue (11km) and the perched village of Gordes (26km), one of the most photogenic and photographed villages in France. These are just a few examples of the numerous places to visit in the area. Holidaymakers who have stayed at the villa for one week have often commented that one week is not enough and that they would come back and stay longer as there is so much to do in the area…and they did!
There is easy access to the motorway located a few minutes away allowing you to discover other towns in the area such as the Roman city of Orange to the north and Aix en Provence to the south, all accessible within an hour’s drive.

Caumont sur Durance
Caumont sur Durance lies midway between Avignon and Cavaillon with impressive ramparts overlooking the Durance river. Within the ramparts, there is a botanical nature trail which takes you up to the viewpoint where there are panoramic views towards the Alpilles and Luberon hills as well as the Vaucluse plateau.
Cavaillon (12km)
This bustling market town is perhaps best known as the melon capital of France. The fruit is harvested from mid-summer to the Autumn and the town hosts a festival in celebration of their favourite fruit in the middle of July. The town also boasts historic sites including Roman arches, a medieval canal still in use and reputably the most beautiful synagogue in Europe dating back to the 18th century.
Avignon (15km)
Avignon, on the banks of the Rhone, is probably best-known these days for the children’s song – Sur le Pont d’Avignon. But for several decades in the 14th century it was the capital of Christendom, after Pope Clement V moved his court here to avoid the chaos in Rome. The legacy of that papal schism can be seen today in the city’s UNESCO-protected architecture, including the vast Palais des Papes. And nearby Châteauneuf-du-Pape, site of a now-ruined castle built by a later pope, still produces acclaimed red wines. The city’s intact ramparts and pedestrianised centre lend Avignon a small-town, medieval feel. Yet each July, the city goes totally 21st century, as thousands of visitors descend for a contemporary performing arts extravaganza, the Festival d’Avignon.
Oppede le Vieux (21km)
Situated halfway up the northern slopes of the Luberon massif, the dramatic and haunting Oppede le Vieux is coming back to life after years of abandonment. This magnificent little hill-top village is built high on a rocky outcrop. To visit, leave your car in the carpark at the base of the village before following the picturesque path up the hill. You will be enchanted by this historic village and it is a pleasure to wander around this village and admire the charming 15th and 16th century houses that have been skilfully restored.
L’Isle sur la Sorgue (10km)
L’Isle sur la Sorgue is a pretty market town, much loved for its antique shops and twice weekly markets. Once an important fishing town, with an abundance of crayfish in the River Sorgue, there are also several canals running through the centre. Perhaps, unsurprisingly, the town has been called the Venice of Provence. The river has influenced the development of the town, providing for thriving crafts and industries, flour mills, wool and silk workshops. Many of the waterwheels remain adding to the picturesque charm of the town. Each Sunday there is quite a carnival atmosphere with a flea market, regarded as of the best antique markets in France (Thursday in normal market day).
Pont du Gard (38km)
The Pont du Gard is a famous Roman aqueduct, UNESCO World Heritage Site and icon of the south of France. It supplied water to Nimes for over five centuries, however by the 9th century it had started to fall into ruin. Much of the aqueduct is still intact today and it is a remarkable site. Nearly 300 metres long and almost 50 metres high it comprises three levels of arches, progressively narrower at each level. Visitors can walk across the aqueduct to appreciate both the architectural achievement and the great views from the top. There is also a mile-long marked trail around the site so you can see the river and bridge from all angles.
Gordes (26km)
The village of Gordes is one of the most photographed villages of Provence and a number of famous films such as A Year in Provence or more recently A Good Year directed by Ridley Scott have been set in the village. Just a mile from Gordes is the Village des Bories, an open air museum made up of twenty or so traditional drystone huts that have been reconstructed in celebration of the skills and beauty of this architectural style which stretches back over many centuries.

We had a fabulous week again!
The villa is pretty much perfect and suits us well as a family.
Am very keen to get something booked again for next year, but just need to negotiate dates with family members.
PS - thank you as always for the champagne!Guest rating:
Fantastic family holiday. A perfect two weeks in the sun in a lovely villa set in perfect surroundings.
The villa is set in the most delightful mature garden. The pool was always the perfect temperature, beautifully clean and well maintained. The Villa, is very tastefully furnished, without being scared that you'll break something. The outside area lends itself to family groups, there is lots of room to be together and be apart. Four separate eating areas. It is so well equipped, everything you could possibly need, in the large utility room, two washing machines, a dryer... BIG pots, the kitchen and contents were superb. More cutlery than a hotel! The air con works really well throughout and the wifi is strong. The linen and towels were plentiful, with good outside towels for the pool. Because of the rural setting there are insectsGuest rating:
It was superb!!
The villa was perfectly presented, and spacious with a great layout (we didn't even use the twin poolside room). The pool was a great size and pool area was excellent for relaxing.
The kitchen was incredibly well stocked with appliances and all other utensils imaginable.
The aircon in 4 of the bedrooms made the stay perfect in such warm conditions.
The owner & her son were very welcoming. He even took us to the local U Express for some shopping, as we arrived there around 1930hrs due to late flight times, & we weren't able to collect our hire car until the Sunday morning
The pool was cleaned twice during our stay and without any interruption to us.
I would recommend this villa to everyone!
We have all said we would like to book this villa again for next year.Guest rating:
We are safely back in the UK after some delays at the Eurotunnel port, but nothing compared to some reported!
We had a thoroughly enjoyable holiday and Villa Les Vignes Blanches lived up to its expectations. The house was very comfortable, good having the air conditioning in most of the bedrooms but would have been even better had there been air throughout.
The owners were very welcoming and pleasant despite our limited French speaking skills and that we were delayed somewhat by the traffic en route. Happy to say we had a thoroughly enjoyable stay and hope that the owners were equally happy with our tenancy.
Many thanks for your help in facilitating our rental. We were very pleased with your service.Guest rating:
We had an absolutely amazing time in the villa, it was a really amazing place to spend the week - the facilities were excellent and it was very well equipped - especially the kitchen! The owners were delightful and very helpful. The location was great - my husband ran down to the boulangerie in the morning and the local super U was really fab. We managed to visit Avignon (beautiful!), L’isle sur la Sourge (the market was delightful), Orange to see the Roman theatre and down to the Camargue to see flamingos, Arles and swim in the sea (all really fabulous!). All in all a very successful week for all three generations!! My personal favourite was evening drinks on the patio but the kids LOVED the pool! I also wanted to thank you for your patience and kindness in all our planning, I really appreciated it and am so pleased the holiday was a success!Guest rating:
We had a lovely time if somewhat hot! This restricted what we did a bit but that’s nobody’s fault. The villa was excellent, comfortable and very well equipped and the owners were very helpful. What would improve the experience a bit would be a visitors book, people’s recommendations are helpful, and some literature about the area. We had been before, about 10 years ago, but for people there for the first time some leaflets etc would be useful. But this is only a fairly minor point.

Villa Les Vignes Blanches was beautiful and incredibly well equipped. It was a fantastic place for a holiday. The pool was a great size for our party and the children loved playing in it. It was also great to have equipment for other outdoor activities provided eg boules set, table tennis and badminton equipment. The outdoor seating and cooking areas were really good and it was great to be able to sit outside in a covered area in the evenings.
I have stayed in a number of gites in France over the years and this one was by far the most well equipped and most modern in terms of the fixtures and fittings. The kitchen was beautiful.
One recommendation that I have is that the owners provide a "visitor's book" for guests to write down recommendations and tips for future guests eg restaurants to visit or shops etc. I have always found this helpful in previous gites. However, that is a minor point. In terms of the standard of accommodation, this was one of the best and it is also in a beautiful and very accessible area.
In terms of the booking process, that was also very efficient and effective. Booking via Select Villas was easy and the directions and information that you provided prior to our holiday was very good. Your advice last September was really helpful and I appreciated being able to speak with you on the phone about the villa prior to confirming our booking. It was also very helpful have a reminder email when the final balance was due.
One thing that might be helpful to some people when sending out the final directions could be a warning about how busy the motorway between Lyon and Avignon is on Saturdays in July and August and therefore to tell people to allow lots of time for their journey if they are driving. We stayed in Dijon on the Friday before our booking began and left plenty of time for our journey because I have experienced French motorway Saturdays a number of times in the past, however the friends that we were travelling with thought I was being over cautious (until they experienced the delays!) because they had not driven to the south of France on a summer Saturday before. Luckily, we only arrived 30 minutes after our scheduled arrival time as I had insisted on allowing 6 hours for our journey instead of the 4 hours that Google suggested!
Thank you for providing a great service and thank you to M. & Mdme Hebraud for providing such a beautiful villa for our holiday.Guest rating:
We had a glorious week at Villa Les Vignes Blanches. The villa is spacious and incredibly well equipped. Both the villa and gardens are very well maintained by the charming owners. We enjoyed walking to the nearby village each morning to buy bread and croissants but otherwise enjoyed being at the villa with our family and swimming in the delightful pool. The villa is very convenient for trips to Avignon and we also visited Chateaurenard and St Remy De Provence. Your service was extremely efficient so that we arrived with all the information we needed and you made the payment process very easy. We have been visiting France since our children were small. They are now adults but we still enjoy this type of holiday of which our stay at Villa Les Vignes Blanches will count as one of the best.
Guest rating:
We had a superb week in the property. It is very well equipped (it even has two dishwashers!) with air con in the upstairs rooms. It was possible to keep the downstairs rooms cool using the shutters. Wifi was good too. It is a good 20/25 minute walk into the village so we tended to drive. There is a supermarket only a few minutes away by car too. I would absolutely recommend this property.

We had a fantastic holiday. The weather may not have been perfect but that didn't stop us from having a good time. We are all agreed, Vignes Blanches was perfect! Mme Hebrard has a beautiful home. It fulfilled every wish and more. She thought of everything. 10/10 from all of us. We would definitely book a return visit. There are still more places of interest we want to visit. I have posted a thank you note to Mme Hebrard today. But I Also want to say a big thank you to you too. Your help with everything has been wonderful. I will definitely recommend your services to friends and family.
