Le 215 Gambetta is a rare guest house located in Cavaillon, between the Massif des Alpilles and the Luberon, in South of France. Valérie and Gilles welcome you with their lovely, lilting Southern accent and their immense benevolence. Keep this address for your next getaway. We love everything about it!
We advise you to book your stay at 215 Gambetta via Booking.com, which often offers free cancellation. Send us a postcard if you go, we'd love it.
As soon as you step through the front door, you're welcomed like a privileged friend. Valérie and Gilles are very attentive, taking the time to get to know each other (or leaving you in complete privacy if they sense you want them to, thanks to their sixth sense...) and offering a welcome drink: a mix of Melonade and Perrier on the rocks. A typical local aperitif made with melons.
Built in 1830, the mansion was an authentic maison de maître at the time. It took almost 2 years to fully restore it, while preserving its ancient heritage. The result is a splendid house that makes you feel right at home. There are 1001 details to discover: the collection of mirrors in the bathroom, the dining room with its soft jazz playlist, and Pepette, the adorable cat.
There are just 2 bedrooms and 2 suites. The interior decor is a subtle blend of ancient and modern. Depending on the room you choose, you'll enjoy the following amenities: king-size bed, private bathroom with free-standing bathtub, Smart TV, hospitality products and air conditioning. The 2 suites each have their own private balcony.
In the early morning, enjoy your (really top) breakfast in the shady inner courtyard. It's a very special place: tasteful vintage crockery, antiques, beautiful objects, soft music and a relaxing fountain. On the menu: croissants, pain au chocolat, brioche, baguette, local jam, honey, eggs like grandma's, cheese, fresh fruit, freshly squeezed orange juice, coffee, tea and hot chocolate.
The 215 Gambetta is located just 30 minutes from Avignon, in Provence, in the heart of the historic village of Cavaillon, world-famous for its divine melon. Every year, in early July, the town organizes the Feria du Melon. Numerous events take place in the streets and restaurants, with tastings and Camargue horse parades.
It's the perfect base for visiting the surrounding villages. You're less than 30 minutes from Bonnieux, a romantic Provencal village perched on a cliffside. Admire the beautiful 17th-century residences, and from the church tower square, gaze at the centuries-old cedars and lavender plains below.
