Best B&B I've been to! We had a fantastic time staying with Claudia and Jim for 9 nights. They're lovely, fun hosts and made us feel so welcome during our stay. The room was excellent, the breakfasts and dinners were delicious and the location is beautiful. Lots of highlights, including yoga lessons in the garden, countless carefully prepared meals, a morning on the lake with Claudia and Jim and a few games of table football! I'd wholeheartedly recommend Claudia and Jim's B&B. Thank you for a great time in Provence.

Claudia est une fée alchimiste qui au milieu des champs de lavande transforme tout ce qu'elle touche en or! Les repas végétariens et petits déjeuners servis sont un délice aux goûts subtiles, la chambre est aménagée avec beaucoup de style et d'attention aux détails, la literie et le linge de maison sont de très bonne qualité. La gamme de produits cosmétiques C'étrange de Claudia (disponible sur place) a été une merveilleuse découverte. Je les recommande vivement. Une étape incontournable dans cette magnifique région! * reviews from yoga retreat guests more here from a yoga retreat guest, Ayurvedic coach and Shiatsu massage therapist, from Brussels/Belgium (in Dutch), who stayed with us for several days in July 2015.

We had a wonderful stay at La Vudele. We stopped over for three days on our way south and it was a beautiful experience. The whole setting is very calm and peaceful with a great sense of space. The room is lovely and everything was as described. Jim and Claudia made us feel extremely welcome and are the perfect, attentive caring hosts. We really enjoyed their company. The breakfasts were amazing in the morning sun and the evening meals were really delicious. In our few days there we visited the Gorge du Verdon and the Lac de Ste Croix - very beautiful and dramatic. We also enjoyed wandering around the village of Moustiers. This is certainly a place we would like to return to and recommend it very highly indeed. *
Jim, Claudia and Mimie the Cat are the friendliest hosts you will ever meet! We were well fed during our stay with Claudia's organic vegetarian meal the first night and daily breakfasts with organic homemade sourdough, fruit salad, goats curd and honey. If you are a real foodie you will love it like I did. (Also, Jim has a song for everything e.g. the egg song in the morning!) You can discuss with Jim and Claudia about your tour during your stay. They are so knowledgeable and will help you plan the perfect route. The B&B itself is a gorgeous Provençal cottage with top quality linens and very nice surroundings. The cottage is next to a lavender farm. I recommend La Vudele to anyone who wants to see the authentic Provence *
Wir haben den Aufenthalt bei Claudia und Jim sehr genossen. Wir wurden mit großer Herzlichkeit und Gastfreundschaft aufgenommen. Das Zimmer ist liebevoll und geschmackvoll eingerichtet, das vegetarische Frühstück aus regionalen und vielfach selbstgemachten Produkten war besonders lecker. Auf Wunsch wurde für uns zu Abend gekocht und wir haben die anregenden Gespräche mit Jim und Claudia genossen. Die Gegend ist einfach herrlich schön und es gibt so viel zu entdecken. Einfach ein Wohlfühl-Platz.
* Wat een heerlijke dagen bij Jim en Claudia! Warm onthaal en warm afscheid, en in between iedere ochtend weer een geweldig ontbijt bereid met liefde, goede tips, lieve zorgen en een warme glimlach. De omgeving en kamer zijn geweldig. Wat een stilte, wat een ruimte. De kamer is ruim, schoon, koel, fijn ingericht, goede douche, en daarnaast erg mooi! Een aanrader voor iedereen die zich wil laten vertroetelen door zowel omgeving als gastvrouw/heer! Bedankt Jim & Claudia! We wensen jullie het allerbeste! * Ulalaaaa!!!! Cláudia e o La Vudèle (Jim estava viajando, infelizmente tivemos um contato muito rápido apenas) foram experiências maravilhosas em nossa viagem por essa parte da Provence. Inicialmente o local é paradisíaco para quem gosta da zona rural. Uma quietude inspiradora, cercado por plantações de uva, azeitonas e LAVANDA. O quarto é lindo, muito bem decorado, com itens de conforto essenciais, muito limpo e cheiroso, reflexo do carinho com que Cláudia recebe seus hóspedes. O café da manhã (pequeno almoço) é simplesmente perfeito, o melhor que tivemos na França, repleto de produtos locais, frescos e orgânicos, preparados na hora pela anfitriã, compondo uma farta refeição matinal. Recomendo a todos experimentarem o jantar que Cláudia prepara (serviço à parte), é fabuloso, alta cozinha, também com produtos frescos e orgânicos. Experimente pelo menos uma vez, certeza de uma orgia gastronômica.
* Nous avons été très satisfaits de notre séjour chez Claudia et Jim! Très belle propriété et chambre!! Très bon petit déjeuner fraichement préparé et servi en plein air! Merci pour cette ambiance zen!
* Claudia and Jim deserve nothing less than a terrific review. The room was so nice, that we were thinking of copying it into our new house. I consider myself a bed expert and can assure you: their bed is amongst the best beds I've encountered during my many travels. The silence at night was one I had never experienced before. Thanks to the absolute lack of light pollution, we were treated on a magnificent view of the starry sky, one that you rarely get to see in Western Europe. The vegetarian breakfast is healthy, animal friendly and copious. The perfect B&B if you want to visit the nice area of les Gorges du Verdon and have a wonderful night's rest. * This is the most beautiful b&b that I've seen since I use Airbnb for my trips. Well located in the country, La Vudele is a charming b&b, where you could have everything for a stay in the serenity of the Provence. Lavender fields, olive tree grove, a new room very clean and with all comforts, and a great host like Claudia & Jim. Great breakfast (with homemade bread!) and great dinner with all organic and vegetarian ingredients. Wow!
