Perfect week with friends at Goult House
We were a group of three girlfriends celebrating our 65th birthdays with a holiday en Provence. We stayed at Goult House for one week in October 2024. This property is exactly as described. It is a spacious house with a large kitchen, dining room and living room. The bedrooms are also big and the beds are comfortable. The kitchen is well-equipped and easy to work in. The view from the upper bedroom balcony is spectacular. There are not views from the pool area, but is it lovely nevertheless. As our stay was in October, we didn't spend a lot of time around the pool, but as the pool was still open, one brave friend had a quick dip. We are Canadian! It was helpful to have sinks in most rooms and showers in some. We were just 3 people, so having two toilets to share worked just fine for us. Beatrice was very easy to reach and attentive to our needs. She was a pleasure to deal with both before and during our stay. The house is right in the village, just a few minutes walk to the village square. There is a short hill, but it is not too steep. There are some very nice restaurants in the village, a good little grocer with fresh fruits and vegetables, a bakery, a cheese shop, and a butcher. Goult is a lovely, quiet little village and not busy like some of the most popular villages in the area. There are no tour buses in Goult. We would highly recommend a stay at this property. It was everything we hoped for. Thank you, Beatrice for the wonderful stay at your property!

We had a wonderful stay at Elia House in Goult. The house was fantastic for a group of friends. Plenty of space. Comfortable beds and walking distance to the village of Goult and it’s cafe’s and restaurants. A wonderful place to explore the Luberon. Our host Beatrice was easy to communicate with and very helpful. Our memories of our time in Goult will last forever.

Warm and welcoming
Elia House was the perfect location for our family Christmas. Beatrice went to so much trouble to decorate the house with a Christmas tree, Christmas decorations and a multitude of candles, which added to the warm, festive atmosphere. The house itself is very spacious, with comfortable bedrooms, an extremely well equipped kitchen and very pleasant living spaces for relaxing and reading. Just a few minutes walk brings you to the local bars, well stocked épicerie, greengrocer and boulangerie. An excellent base for lovely walks and visiting the many beautiful Luberon villages. Thank you Beatrice for making us feel so welcome in your lovely home.

A cozy and well-appointed home in an idyllic corner of the world. This was the perfect launching point to explore the Luberon and Beatrice was a communicative, welcoming and super helpful host.

Wonderful house!
We stayed in Elia House for two weeks and loved every moment. The house is large, comfortable and well-equipped. Beatrice has thought of everything! The beds are fantastic. The view from the top floor terrace is mesmerizing. And the pool is a welcome respite on hot afternoons. The kitchen has everything you need to cook any meal, although you may not want to because of all the fabulous restaurants in Goult and the surrounding villages. Thank you, Beatrice, for sharing this gem of a place with us. It was the perfect central location for exploring the Luberon. We fell in love with Goult and it's sweet, welcoming people and were always happy to return there after being out and about in the beauty that surrounds it.

A beautiful house with amazing views
Elia House has everything you need to make your stay special. The bedrooms are spacious with beautiful authentic furniture and the beds were comfortable. If you're lucky enough to sleep in the top left-hand room you have direct access to the top terrace giving spectacular views across the countryside and you can see Mont Ventoux on a clear day. The lower terrace accessed directly from the kitchen was perfect for having our meals and we ate out there most of the time. It might have been a bit of a squeeze if there were 8 people but it would definitely be manageable. The swimming pool is a good size and was cleaned twice a week. Sunloungers were comfortable and the pool shower/toilet room was useful. The kitchen was extremely well equipped - every utensil etc that we thought we might need, we found! Beatrice kept in contact regarding checking in/out and was very helpful in offering us any advice we needed. Yes, there is no toilet on the top, floor but it's just a few stairs down to the middle floor bathroom and the view from the toilet window was fabulous! Thank you Beatrice for letting us experience your wonderful house if only for a week!

Great stay in Goult
Elia house was lovely. Most well appointed rental we have ever experienced. Beds very comfortable. Kitchen has everything you need. Around the corner from downtown restaurants which are very good. We loved the upper deck and spent most evenings there sipping wine and enjoying the view and sunset. Beatrice was very attentive to our needs and checked in a couple times during our stay. Overall wonderful experience. (Bathroom features are a little funky, so be sure to pay attention to how they are described on her website. For us there was no problem, and we ended up liking the arrangement.)

Goult Elia House was as good as it looks
We were painters on a plein air holiday. For a week and loved every minute. Goult’s local epicerie and wonderful local restaurants provided us with all we needed. We didn’t have a car and so we’re reliant on the very busy schedules of taxi drivers, so I’d recommend a car. The only thing that’s a drawback is that there are only two toilets in the house, and none to accommodate the two bedrooms on the third floor. Still, I’d come back in a heartbeat.

Lovely house in a perfect location
Staying in the town of Goult but having a view out over the valley and mountains was fantastic. The location is amazing for sightseeing in the Luberon and being able to walk 100m to the shops and restaurants. The house is very well equipped with very generous spaces. We had breakfast on the rooftop patio with a view of the mountains every morning. It was too cold to enjoy the outdoor pool and garden spaces during this cold May. The welcome to the property and communication with the owner were perfect. Thank you!

An ideal Provençal village home
We could not have been happier with Beatrice’s home in Goult. We stayed for three weeks in April, and had the joy of watching spring unfold. When we arrived, the vines on the front of house were mostly bare; when we left, they were lush and green, and climbing roses covered the house next door. April is too cool for the pool, and we didn’t care about that anyway (no kids), but it’s a nice one, with plenty of loungers, a pool-shed shower and toilet, and a ping-pong table. The bedrooms are large and nicely furnished, with comfortable beds. Some people might have a hard time with there being no toilet on the top floor, where two of the bedrooms are, but that’s life in an old European house, and we were fine with it. The upstairs sitting room is a quiet bonus space to work or read. As everyone has said, the top-floor terrace has a dreamy view and is gorgeous in the early evening. The kitchen is exceptionally well equipped, and the living room has room for everyone to get comfortable. Because we had the luxury of three weeks here, we explored most of the notable villages of the Luberon (don't miss the lesser-known Saignon, Caseneuve, and Joucas, and Oppède-le-Vieux is amazing), and Goult is hands-down the best to "live" in. Within a four-minute walk are a first-rate boulangerie, fromagerie/glacier, butcher, presse/tabac/cafe, and small but fully stocked market, plus three upscale (but not too frou-frou) restaurants, a casual Italian place, an excellent pizzeria, and two outdoor cafes, although the famous Cafe de la Poste was mysteriously closed (it appears to have changed hands a second time), so for now everyone is having their coffee and rosé at Le Goultois next door. There’s also a tiny but delightful market on Thursdays. Most of the small villages in the Luberon don't have all those amenities, and the larger ones (Gordes, Roussillon, Bonnieux) have to deal with tour buses and some tourist schlock. Le Carillon was our favorite restaurant in Goult, but we had good meals at all of them (except a so-so lunch at Le Goultois, which really isn't a restaurant). Other favorite meals in the region included: simple lunches with killer views at Cafe de France in Lacoste and Bistrot la Terrasse in Joucas; Cafe de France in L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue; rustic Bistrot de Pays l’Authentic in Caseneuve (thanks to pool guy Rolland for the tip!), and L’Insolite in Lourmarin. Favorite market was in Curcuron. In sum: Elia House is wonderful!

Belle grande maison, idéalement située dans le charmant village de Goult.
Les chambres sont réparties entre les 3 étages ce qui permet l’intimité entre les couples d’amis. Certains chambres sont avec douche et/ou lavabo mais pas toutes. L’une des chambres a une terrasse avec vue incroyable sur la campagne et le mont Ventoux. Malheureusement, seulement 2 WC pour les 3 étages… Sanitaires un peu vétustes. Aucun souci de parking même si au coeur du village. Propriétaire très disponible et sympathique; répond rapidement et TRÈS aidante. Merci Béatrice!

Great place for a relaxing stay in a historic setting
We had a great stay at Elia House in early September. The house has loads of historic charm and is super relaxing. My husband and I and 2 close friends enjoyed the house and the village so much that we didn't stray too far from home, despite the attractions of the Ventoux. We enjoyed eating at Cafe de la Poste in Goult, watching the world go by. Also the pizza take- away in Goult is good. Elia House is not best suited to families with toddlers because of the steep steps, but I would thoroughly recommend it to others.

Perfection in Provence
Maison Elia is a near-perfect rental property in the heart of the Luberon: spacious and well-appointed, and perfectly situated in both the village of Goult and in Provence overall. The house itself is spacious and nicely decorated, with a large dining room, kitchen, and living room on the ground floor, and 4 spacious bedrooms on the ground and upper floors; as well as a piano, ping pong table, TV and other activities. But the real selling points are the lovely backyard, with an elevated deck, paved patio, and in-ground pool that is a lush and private oasis after a morning in the bustling markets, perfect for lounging in the sun or cooling off in the pool; and the 3rd floor terrace overlooking the Luberon valley and Mont Ventoux in the distance, which is the ideal setting to steal away to read in peace, or enjoy a kir royale at dusk. The house sits just a block or so from the village square, within easy walking distance of the grocery store, bakery, butcher, cafe, 4-5 excellent restaurants, and a host of other shops and attractions in Goult, but far enough away that the noise and bustle of the town is barely noticeable (especially on nights when there are town events). Goult is also ideally situated for exploring all that Provence has to offer. It is within 10-20 minutes of many of the most popular villages to visit, including Gordes, Menerbes, Bonnieux, and Roussillon, and is within an hour of many others, including Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, Apt, and Avignon. Marseille is less than 90 minutes, and Montpellier is a couple hours, among many others. The town itself is a wonderful place to stay: it's not quite as pretty or spectacular as say, Gordes or Menerbes, and so doesn't draw the same volume of visitors; but it is still a beautiful, ancient village, and so offers the best of both worlds. The only blemishes on an otherwise perfect property are aging dishwasher and washing machines, and a lack of a drying machine (though clothes air dry rapidly in the dry provence air); and a lack of reserved parking (though there are plenty of spots within a block). We've stayed twice, and on both occasions the owner, Beatrice, has been responsive and helpful, both leading up to our stay (helping to secure dinner reservations, giving advice, etc.) , and in helping to troubleshoot problems while we were there (for example, a clogged drain in the shower was fixed within a day). We love Goult and we love Maison Elia, and we hope you will too!

A great stay in spite of the canicule (heatwave)
We stayed at Maison Elia for three weeks and had a delightful time. Check-in went smoothly, and there was cheese, olives, and wine waiting for us. I made sure I understood the washing machine and the stove, but I neglected to ask about the TV. It took a while, but we figured it out and enjoyed watching the women's World Cup matches. Common space: The house has the best kitchen I've ever encountered in a rental house, with two coffee makers, a food processor, a blender, and all the pots and dishes you could ever need. The living room is spacious, and the two uncomfortable looking chairs in the photos have been replaced with a long sofa. A room not included in the photos is a second large living room on the first (Fr) floor, providing another place for people to spread out for different activities. As other reviews have mentioned, the rooftop terrace is delightful. During the day it provides a view of Mt. Ventoux and the valley between Goult and the Monts de Vaucluse. At night the stars were magnificent! Bedrooms and baths: The arrangement was somewhat unusual and would probably work better for a family than for several couples traveling together. An additional shower and toilet are next to the pool. The bedrooms were large and had ample storage space, the linens were nice, but the lighting was somewhat dim. Area information: The owner, Beatrice, sent us a very nice information package about the area before we arrived, and there were many brochures in baskets in the living room. Maintenance: Various people came to clean the pool, care for the landscaping, and to change the linens, but they had their own access and didn't intrude. Plumbers spent several hours replacing a fixture in one of the showers. Coping with the canicule: Beatrice advised us open the shutters and windows at night and to close them during the day to retain the cool air. The building has thick stone walls, and that approach would be fine during normal summer heat, but the canicule with temps of 105-111F was extreme. We managed to stay cool with the pool, but it would have been nice to have had a few fans in the house. (At least one is shown in the photos.) Owner: I had asked about boules so we could play pétangue just down the street, and Beatrice very kindly supplied two sets for us. We appreciated that she checked in several timed during our stay to ensure that everything was going well. It was a wonderful stay, and we would return in a heartbeat!
