I'll be spending a week in Provence with my husband, 3 year old and 1 year old and we're looking to stay at either a winery or countryside hotel and was hoping for some suggestions - I've checked out a few from the guidebook and haven't been able to secure our dates so hoping for some more ideas. Hoping to spend $250 or less per night and plan to rent a car so open on location - thanks!!

We stayed at a nice countryside b&b in Lagnes, its on the road between Avignon and Apt. The owners are a very nice couple with a grade school aged son. They had a children's playroom in the b&b too. The husband Thierry is the chef who cooks the meals and the food is fabulous. Www.masdesgres.com

I stayed in a 2 bedroom gite at the St Esteve winery near Cucaron and Ansouis last spring for one week. the cost was very reasonable, much less than what you were hoping to be able to pay, we had use of the pool and there was a nice lawn for kids to be able to play on. The owners are expatriot Brits and very nice. It would be a good choice for you.

Hi Jennifer,
We have stayed with our two daughters at La Cigale et La Fourmi, in St. Remy de Provence and it is spectacular. (http://hubertakoun.free.fr/en/Bienvenue.htm).
Play areas for the kids, lots of lawn to run around on, secure area, a pool and several locations on property to enjoy lunch or dinner while kids nap or turn in early. Jocelyn makes wonderful breakfasts each morning for the whole family from fresh, local produce. My kids were 9 months and 34 months at the time, and we'll be staying there again next month (now 2 and 4 years old). When we left last time, Jocelyn kissed our kids goodbye, after only 3 days, my kids loved her!
You walk out the back of the property and down a walkway and you're in the charming small town of St. Remy. Not quite a countryside or winery but such a wonderful experience we had to share.
