About this house rental
Ideal for multi-generational vacations. The house has plenty of space to be together or to spread out for individual pass-times. Two of the six bedrooms are in the wing, emphasizing space and options. Furthermore, the living room, library, study, two terraces by the house, and another by the pool provide lots of room. There is both indoor dining in the dining room and outdoor dining in the courtyard behind the house with barbecue.
The setting is peaceful and protected. The hamlet beyond the courtyard feels like the Provence we knew before 'A Year in Provence' attracted all the attention. Even in high season (the Luberon valley is popular in summer), while close and accessible, the property is a getaway. It is frequently praised for 'feeling classically Provençale.' The house faces the Luberon and looks out over orchards, vineyards and fields. The pool sits beyond and below so it has privacy and doesn't interfere with activities around the house.
For fifteen years, in the fall and spring, Sarah Brown has run 'A Week In Provence,' a cultural and gastronomic program from the house. For this the house has a fully equipped kitchen, and guest amenities like wireless internet, cable TV, hair dryers, soaps, etc. Sarah lives in the hamlet and usually greets new guests with a glass of wine and a quick-start to the house and the region. She is a tremendous source of advice and tips. With her experience, she can point guests towards where they want to go and what they want to see in accordance with their interests. See more about Sarah and the house.
The property is also an ideal place to do nothing more than admire the view, an activity which never seems to get old. Visiting the nearby hill villages, Gordes, Roussillon, Bonnieux, Lacoste, Menerbes, Oppède is a lovely, easy activity. They tare less than fifteen minutes from the house. On foot, terrific walks or hikes go North, East, South and West from the house and provide tremendous panoramas along their routes. Nearly every day during the summer there are markets up and down the valley including a great farmers' market just three miles from the house, twice a week, in Coustellet which also has an exceptionally good bakery and a very very good (and recent) super market.

If you are looking for an authentic French Provençal experience, look no further than this home. We had a wonderful week at this lovely family house that is ideal for groups like ours with plenty of bedrooms, bathrooms, living areas and a well equipped kitchen. We made full use of the various sitting areas outside to eat our meals or just sit and relax with a glass of wine or a cup of tea or coffee. The setting is beautiful and private and we found it very easy to relax and unwind in the peaceful surroundings. The pool was a great place to cool off in the afternoon.
The house is centrally located for visiting the many nearby market towns and villages that Provence is famous for.
Sarah was a warm and friendly host who took excellent care of us.

My friends and family stayed in this beautiful villa and enjoyed every moment of their time there. The villa is in a lovely serene setting looking out to forest and mountains. Close by there are trails to walk through vineyards and fields of poppies. Sarah, the host, who lives next door was so generous with her time to assist as needed and was willing to share her vast knowledge of the area. She also has great culinary skills and made a delicious dinner featuring the cuisine of Provence. The villa is very close to Gordes, which is featured as one of the most picturesque towns in Southern France.
