Description
In one of the region’s most unspoilt villages, surrounded by captivating wild landscapes, La Maison De Village is a true gem of the Luberon National Park. Recently restored to a beautiful standard, this village house with its private heated swimming pool, offers a perfect place to relax in stunning surroundings.
This home is brought to you by the passionate family who also discovered three incredible old hamlets, planted organic vines and fruit trees and created three wonderful places to stay; Le Hameau du Berger, Le Hameau de L’Horizon and Villa Les Terrasses, all within a short drive of La Maison De Village.
Their latest renovation is no less beautiful, yet differs by its setting in a very small yet charming Provençal village which has retained its character over the years. The views from the house and the village itself are breath-taking with stunning scenery so typical of the Luberon region. This is a hiker’s paradise with walks from the village leading to marked trails near the spectacular gorges nearby.
Inside you are greeted with a homely ambience in the characterful living-dining room so full of warmth, especially as you sit by the open-fire on cooler evenings. The beautiful blue kitchen is a delight and the ideal place for keen chefs to create a Provençal feast. If you don’t wish to cook, why not have the very friendly staff of the owner’s nearby estate deliver freshly cooked food ready to be warmed up and served to you and your guests.
There are three bedrooms on the top two floors, each with their own bath or shower rooms, including a master bedroom with a lovely claw-foot bath in the ensuite. There’s also a separate studio just beside the main house featuring a twin bedroom and a cosy living area with a sofa-bed. Everything about the style of the home is tasteful and charming with beautiful furnishings and a true Provençal atmosphere.
If you can tear yourself away from the heated swimming pool and terraced gardens with mesmerising views, within a short drive you can be exploring medieval villages such as nearby Viens or Simiane-la-Rotonde, both surrounded by fields of lavender so typical of this area. Just a little further some of Provence’s most famous archetypal villages can be discovered such as Roussillon, Bonnieux, Ménerbes and Van Gogh’s precious Gordes or follow the art trail south to Cézanne’s beloved Aix-en-Provence, only a ninety-minute drive away.
