"Two wonderful weeks in a beautiful spacious villa, where we found the calm we were looking for. We loved the pool, source of much desired freshness. The view is simply beyond words. Magnificent! We have also found a very involved owner, who keeps the villa in a perfect state of order and function. "

"Second stay in this beautiful villa and we are always amazed by the benefits and the unforgettable view of the plain of Avignon and Mont Ventoux. The weather spoiled us: sun every day, hot pool and very nice welcome.
Never 2 without 3, I hope that the saying will be verified ...
Thank you."

Good holiday and fantastic views
The house is well provided for with lots of equipment and facilities. The view across the valley towards Avignon is incomparable and it is always fun to spot the TGVs speeding past. Air conditioning to the main living areas works well particularly when it is humid. This year has seen more rain across France and we noticed more humidity than previous years as well as hot temperatures. There is plenty to do in the area with Orange and the Amphitheatre, Avignon and the Palace des Papes, and Pont du Gard where you can kayak under the bridge. Jean-Daniel is very helpful and responsive to any queries.

Luxury villa with spectacular views
The Villa Alba is a beautiful ultra-modern property in Rochefort-du-Gard which looks east over the Provence countryside. Perfectly suited our friends and family reunion week with a mixture of local visits and lazy days by the stunning infinity pool. Don't miss the local Sunday morning market to stock the kitchen with fresh produce.

We had a wonderful week in this modern property, with huge terraces from which to enjoy the views across the Provencal countryside. Highly recommended. (Just bear in mind that you will need a car as the nearest village is a (hot) 20+ minute walk away.)

Fabulous view and villa
We were 4 couples together in the house, and it was wonderful. Great view, the pool was nice, plenty of space in the home and a well-equipped kitchen. We enjoyed the proximity to great vineyards, Avignon, and Nimes. Communication with the owner was good, and he responded to questions quickly. The only thing I would note, just because it's different than other VRBO properties I have rented, is that there was a separate contract to sign after booking.

We were very pleased with the house. We are spoiled Americans with very little knowledge of the French language which caused a minor misunderstanding of water heater control. Everything was great.

What’s an amazing place. My wife and I and a group of friends traveled here to celebrate my 40th birthday. It is a place that no pictures can do justice to. The Sunrises in the morning will take your breath away. A beautiful house with plenty of space for everyone. Jean-Pierre was a wonderful host. He met us on arrival and gave us very detailed instructions about our stay. It helped to make the stay smooth to know the operations of the house. I hope there is a day in the future in which I get to stay at this wonderful villa again!

Five wonderful days in Rochefort du Gard France at Vill Alba
Villa Alba is every bit as spectacular as the photos suggest. The views from rooms, balconies and pool area are panoramic and beautiful. The living space is well appointed, clean and well maintained. Jean-Pierre (owner) met us upon arrival and explained how to use the villa security system, open driveway gates, operate window shutters, kitchen appliances, laundry appliances, television, etc. Each of the five bedrooms is provided with attractive bed linens. Bathrooms are comfortably sized. The kitchen is well equipped with pots, pans, cooking utensils, and an ample supply of dishware, glassware and eating utensils. For those who want to cook, there are various bowls, baking pans, etc. The villa is amply furnished inside to accommodate a full house of occupants. Similarly, there is plenty of outside furniture (chairs, tables and lounges). The villa is located in an area served by narrow paved roads that meander through fields, vineyards and up hillsides. The owner provides good directions to reach the villa from Avignon, but a car equipped with a GPS navigation system is a big help (especially when returning to the villa at night). There is off-road and inside the security gates parking space for multiple cars (in villa's garage and driveway). We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Villa Alba and our visit to towns and tourist attractions in the general vicinity.

Paradise in Provence
Our stay at Villa Alba was fantastic! The villa is amazing. It is impeccably clean. There is everything you need for an amazing stay in Provence. The sleeping accommodations were wonderful and very comfortable. The views were breathtaking. Our whole family enjoyed swimming in the pool after day trips to various sites and cities in the region. The grill was a bonus for Provencal dinners at home. We were warmly welcomed by Jean-Pierre. He was helpful and responsive before and throughout our visit. We received a lot of information about the region from the Brunels. We wholeheartedly recommend that you stay at Villa Alba while in Provence.

Superbe séjour dans une belle maison avec vue magnifique
Nous avons passé un superbe séjour dans la Villa Alba. Celle-ci possède une vue panoramique exceptionnelle ainsi que des équipements de haute qualité (piscine, jacuzzi, baby-foot, terrain de pétanque, table de ping-pong, hi-fi...). Les photos sont bien représentatives de la maison. Seul petit bémol, la maison n'est pas très "kids friendly" avec des marches piégeuses sur la terrasse et surtout un carrelage extrêmement glissant autour de la piscine quand celui-ci est mouillé. A part ça, je la recommande vivement pour un séjour court ou des vacances.
