About the home

This simple cottage is well-paced in a tranquil hill-top village surrounded by vineyards, lavender fields and the Luberon mountains. It has wonderful views and is nestled among the winding streets, close to the fountain and chateau.

It offers an excellent base for exploring Arles, Avignon and Aix-en-Provence, walks in the Luberon park or just village-hopping. Apt (8kms) has good restaurants, bars, shops and a colourful Saturday market.

Further details outdoors:
Caseneuve is an attractive small village in the heart of the Luberon Regional Park between the Ventoux and the Luberon mountains.

The village is surrounded by cherry orchards, lavender fields and olive trees. Goats graze in the fields around the village.
Caseneuve is a traditional Provençal village with houses built of stone walls and terracotta roofs hugging the hillside. It has an impressive château which although not open to the public, adds to the interest of the village with its ramparts, towers and high stone walls.
At the edge of the village looking down the valley is the largest oratory or religious shrine in France, an impressive monument.
