Sainte-Colombe is a small hamlet in the commune of Bédoin, in Vaucluse, on the slopes of Mont Ventoux. The landscape combines Provençal villages, vineyards, fields and limestone hills. The atmosphere is rural, and the roads are especially popular with cyclists who come to climb Mont Ventoux. Walkers will also find trails, wide-open views and routes between villages. This property suits travellers who want to explore the Provençal countryside and plan their days around outdoor activities.

The village of Bédoin is 3.5 km away. It has the shops and services of a Provençal market town, as well as old streets and terraces where you can stop for a break after an outing. Crillon-le-Brave, 6.3 km away, is a hilltop village known for its views of Mont Ventoux and the surrounding countryside. The mountain range offers walking and cycling routes, with options for different levels. Carpentras railway station, 16 km away, connects the area to the rail network; a car makes it easier to travel between the villages and trailheads. Marseille-Provence Airport is 74 km away.

In spring and autumn, temperatures are often favourable for long bike rides or hikes, while in summer it is best to set off early to avoid the hottest hours on the roads of Mont Ventoux. You could start the day with a cycle climb, continue with a swim and finish in one of the nearby villages. Wine lovers can also visit the region’s wine estates, while the trails and landscapes change with the seasons.
