Welcome to our holiday cottage 'La Bastide des Grandes Terres' in the Vaucluse region between Avignon and Aix en Provence !

The villa is situated in a quiet area, but only a kilometre away from the centre of Mérindol, a charming village with all local amenities in the heart of Provence. The village is ideally located in Luberon's regional natural park and is close to several other villages and recognised natural sites. It is also less than an hour away from the Mediterranean Coast.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

Excellent experience in Provence!
We would definitely recommend this property to a family or group who want to have a relaxing holiday in a lovely property, based in a beautiful location with easy access to travel around Provence.
The accommodation has everything you would want and more. The hot tub is an excellent addition which really helps to make your stay special.
Arnaud and Dorethee, are very friendly and extremely helpful. Arnaud speaks excellent English which was a great help, especially when he explains about places to visit etc.
The local village Merindol has an excellent patisserie, butcher and tourist information along with a local fruit and veg stall.
We will definitely return!!!

een ontspannende vakantie in een charmante gîte
Niet ver van Lourmarin, in Merindol vindt u deze zeer smaakvol ingerichte gîtes. La Bastide de Grandes Terres is gelegen aan Het Nationaal Park van de Luberon. Je verblijft er in alle rust in de natuur en toch kortbij de verbindingswegen voor uitstappen. De gîtes zijn heel smaakvol ingericht en het ontbreekt er je aan niets om een ontspannen vakantie door te brengen. Elke gîte heeft een privéterras met ruim voldoende tuinmeubilair en een heel ruime veranda met privé- jaccuzi. De gîtes zijn voorzien van een schat aan informatie om de omgeving te verkennen, er is voor ieders wat wils. De gîtes zijn heel netjes en het interieur straalt een frisse en ontspannen sfeer uit. Buiten is alles even goed verzorgd met centraal een zwembad dat de blauwe hemel reflecteert en omringd is door typisch mediterrane planten en bomen. In het dorpje Merindol vind je twee bakkers, een beenhouwer, een kruidenierswinkeltje en een keuze uit een vijftal restaurants. Wij kwamen er in mei 2016 voor het eerst en voelden ons er meteen thuis, mede door de sympathieke eigenaars die hun gasten met raad en daad bijstaan waar nodig. We komen er heel graag terug!!! Prijs kwaliteit een topper!!!

A conseiller
3eme fois que nous retournons à la Bastide des Grandes Terres. Avec nos deux enfants, nous sommes comblés. Arnaud et Dorothée sont de bons conseils et les activités pour les enfants sont nombreuses. Le cadre est idyllique. La preuve nous avons déjà réservé pour 2015.

Just Perfect
We have just returned from 10 nights in this wonderful villa. It was just as described: a very clean modern little house with everything you need, inside and out. The kitchen is very well equipped for cooking and eating which we did every night. As we were with our two young children, we were happy to use the high chair, baby cot and plastic dishes provided, and even the safety gate for the stairs! It's so nice that they put thought into those small things which really improved our stay with the children. We used the spa and huge new trampoline almost everyday - our son couldn't get enough of them and the slide and swing were a big hit with our little daughter. We even had enough warm weather to use the pool twice. Arnaud and Dorothee are wonderful hosts who really try to make their guests feel at home, providing local wine and olive oil when we got there. Arnaud was interested in what we wanted to do and gave us very good advice, including printing out a schedule for some bullfighting events that were going on in Saint-Remy and leaving it out for us on the windshield of our car. He is really so friendly and helpful. We definitely recommend this place, and hope we will have the chance to visit Provence again and stay here once more.

the perfect place to stay in Provence !
We spent a week at arnaud and Dorothee's place in Merindol in September 2012 and dont regret a minute of our time. The place is lovely, new, clean and perfectly furnished.
Considering the efforts and time the owners put in it, i think its gonna get better and better with time, so we already booked for 2013!
Luberon is probably one of the loveliest places in Provence, and the house is well situation between avignon/Marseille and its airport/ Arles / Baux de Provence etc...
Would warmly recommend it.

Great Family Location
Very charming Chalet located on great, fenced site with well cared garden full of flowers. Our small children (two < 4 years) loved to freely run around, use the playground and the trampolines. With the fenced swimming pool, the parents could keep cool and lazy when the kids had real good fun. Very nice landlord family that lives in the main building on the site. We really liked it and will definitely come back one day.

Fantastic trip !
Excellent séjour passé en famille à la Bastide des Grandes Terres (dont 3 ados) !
Un très bon accueil des propriétaires. Ils ont été disponibles et soucieux du bien être de leurs locataires On ressent de suite leur envie de nous faire partager les beautés de leur région, et nous font gagner un temps précieux en nous transmettant les bons coins, les bonnes adresses à ne pas manquer tels que : Lourmarin, les gorges du régalon Isle sur la Sorgue, Lauris avignon... et bien d'autres encore.
Quant au logement, rien à dire, état impeccable et propre.
Tout a été fait et pensé pour que les locataires passent des vacances dans les meilleurs conditions.
Nous les remercions encore pour leur excellent accueil et espérons pouvoir y retourner l'année prochaine.
