About the home

Le Gendarmerie is an amazing conversion of the old Police building in the well-known village. From the outside it's an imposing building with a rich history of accommodating officers of French law, but as you step into the beautiful reception area, be prepared for a surprise!

No expense has been spared and as you'll see from the photos, the result is extremely successful. The style throughout the building is comfortable, modern and uncluttered. There is incredible attention to detail and where possible, the original features of the building have been retained and incorporated in the new design.

One of the biggest surprises is to find such a large pool, garden and private gym, hidden from view of the village. Again take a look at the photos to get an idea of the great views and privacy of this area.

The largest apartment of the 7 available at the Gendarmerie has 3 bedrooms; 1 king-size bed, 1 Queen and 2 single bunk beds. It has 2 shower rooms.

Outside there's a large private terraces and shared used of the pool garden and gym.

Le Gendarmerie is the perfect location if you want to be in the heart of the Luberon and able to explore all the picture-postcard hilltop villages, great restaurant and surrounding spectacular scenery. It has the advantage of a village centre location, but the luxury and tranquility often only found when you stay at a remote, expensive villa.

If you are interested in reserving more than one apartment in the building, please contact us for details.

Just a short drive away there's a great Sunday morning market at Coustellet and the larger town of Apt is only 15 minutes away.
There's loads to do and see in the area; St Remy-de-Provence, famous for its Roman architecture, Les Baux with its ruined castle and unique rock formations, L'Isle sur la Sorgue, famous as an antique centre and market. Also within easy reach are Pont du Gard, Avignon with the Palace of the Popes, Marseille with its famous waterfront, the Amphitheatre at Nimes and the cultured avenues of Aix-en-Provence.

The apartment was really beautiful. Only thing I didn't realise was third bedroom - it has only "doubledecker" beds, not twin. For some people it could be a problem. Beside this, there was absolutely no problem.
