We booked this B&B based on positive TA reviews
and the information on the Mas du Clos de
l'Escarrat website. We were not disappointed during
our two night stay while we toured the Dentelles de
Montmirail and visited Chateauneuf du Pape.
Charles and Andree, the owners of this attractive
place, speak flawless English, and are very
welcoming and helpful with advice about things
such as nearby restaurants, ATM’s, etc.
Our room was comfortable, tastefully decorated
and clean. The small terrace outside our second
floor room overlooked a vineyard and the Dentelles
in the distance. A generous breakfast was served in
our room each morning by cheery Andree. A bonus
was the free wifi in our room.
The Mas du Clos de l'Escarrat is a good value and a
good base to use for visiting this lovely area of
France. |

Our party of three greatly enjoyed our stay at Mas
du Clos de l'Escarrat in early April. Andree and
Charles are gracious hosts who operate a serene
and very tidy B&B in the northern reaches of
Provence. We were dazzled by the endless fields of
tulips backing up to the property and fruit trees in
blossom at this time of year in the immediate area,
proving that Provence is more than its signature
fields of summer lavender.
Our two-bedroom unit had a commanding view of
Mont Ventoux and adjacent vineyards. It was very
well maintained, private and comfortable. This is an
ideal place to downshift to a relaxed and peaceful
break in a gorgeous part of the world.
We took advantage of the Mas' wine tour package
and were glad we did. Charles was both informative
and patient as we worked our way through various
Rhone Valley wineries. This tour would be enjoyable
and educational for both the novice and the serious
oenophile, thanks to Charles' obvious passion for,
and understanding of, Rhone wines (you are in safe
hands as he does not sample the wares as he leads
the tour). We topped off the day of touring with a
terrific meal prepared by Andree back at the B&B
and tasting of wines that we had expererienced
during the day.
All in all, we heartily recommend the Mas for its
terrific combination of slightly-off-the-beaten-path
location, comfortable and clean accomodations,
informative (optional) wine tour and terrific
hospitality extended by Andree and Charles. |
