Gigondas
Gigondas is the biggest of our places. It is a large cottage with accommodation for up to 8-10, a massively spacious living room, a wonderful high-ceilinged kitchen/dining room, plus a beautiful private rose-covered terrace that faces west for those evenings in the sun (see above photos - click to enlarge).
The gite has been renovated to keep as much of the original character as possible. Much of the furniture was built by Sam's carpenter cousin Simon, while another cousin Daisy painted the watercolours. The house has full electric central heating.
Guests in Gigondas share access to our laundry room with guests from the other apartments. There you will find a large washing machine, tumble drier, iron and ironing board.
Downstairs
You enter from the terrace into either the kitchen/dining room or into the living room.
The kitchen/dining area is equipped with top-notch SMEG and Bosch appliances, including dishwasher and a huge 5-plate double-width stove. It has a big wooden dining table (made by cousin Simon in the style of a traditional French farmhouse table). The pitched ceiling reaches up to 4m high, has a big Velux window and exposed beams.
The living room has two large sofas (one is a very comfy sofabed) and chairs for lounging about on. There's a big TV, a DVD player and a hifi.
Bedroom 3 is also on this floor and has twin beds that can be joined right together as a double.
Upstairs
Bedroom 2 has the same twin/double bed arrangements and ensuite shower room. The master bathroom has a bath and separate shower. Bedroom 1 also has twin beds that join into a double plus a further single bed. Additional single beds are available on request.
TIP: If you've got a bigger group and Gigondas is already booked, rent Chateauneuf and Cote-Rotie together for the same amount of accommodation (3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, large kitchen/dining/living area with additional sofabed, lots of outside space).
