About the home

MAS ST CHARLES really is one of our best finds yet in this beautiful part of Provence. The house faces south across a vast and spectacular private valley, planted with truffle oaks and lavender, just two minutes from the village of Buoux in the Luberon National Park.

Nestled on several hectares of land with lavender fields, truffle oaks and natural bush land, Mas St Charles is close to what one imagines in the picture books of Provence.

It is a delightful stone house with sage green shutters and picture windows and doors framing beautiful views. Inside the house are thick stone walls, tiled floors and exposed beams of traditional Provençal architecture. Because of its position, light floods the house from dawn to sunset. There is also a pretty pool set away from the house. All this in a closed garden and amidst truffle oaks of 4 acres.

Facilities

Further details indoors:
The large open plan living space is neatly decorated, and equipped with a comfortable sofa, CD player and dining facilities for the occupants. There’s also a fireplace at one end, and French doors leading out onto the terrace.

The kitchen is very well equipped, with everything that you’re likely to need, including: an oven, microwave, fridge, freezer, washing machine, iron and dishwasher.

There are four bedrooms in total, two bedrooms with a queen-sized bed, (or twin beds), which share an ensuite bathroom. There are then another two bedrooms with twin beds, one that has its own en-suite shower room and another with an en-suite bath and shower room.

There are three bathrooms in this property: one bathroom with sink and WC, and a shower room with WC. There is a third bathroom which is ensuite and has both a bath, shower and a separate WC.

During the summer, the chances are that you’ll be spending most of your time outside, and the facilities don’t disappoint! There’s a covered terrace, with patio furniture and a BBQ, allowing you to eat al fresco during the long summer evening. Alternatively, if you’re the sporty type, there’s also a ping-pong table and facilities for boules! The property itself is set in 120ha of lavender fields and truffle oak woodland, providing a great sense of being in the country.

There is a high-speed internet connection available at this property.

This property does have a telephone line, available on request.

A high chair and cot is available on request, so just let us know what you’ll need when you book!

The magnificent land surrounding the property

The Provence Alpes Cote d'Azur / Vaucluse region

The scenery around this part of the Luberon is stunning. There are views in all directions and the property is ideally placed for some marvelous countryside walks.

There are many Regional summer festivities: Theatre in Avignon, Opera in Aix and Orange, Jazz festival in La Roque d’Antheron and many antique fairs and flea markets.

The Buoux area

Seemingly miles from anywhere with its wide-open spaces, tranquillity and wildlife, this lovely stone house is equidistant between the market town of Apt and the medieval and exquisite town of Lourmarin with its galleries and restaurants.

The surrounding countryside is very well known for rock climbing and hiking and with a fabulous old Chateau and an extraordinary medieval fort nearby, the area is also a painter and photographers’ delight.

There is Tennis available in Apt or Bonnieux, horseback riding in Apt, mountain bikes for rent in Bonnieux.

There are some excellent restaurants in the area and in particular, in Buoux, the Auberge de la Loube.

If you like the idea of a visit to the coast, in one day you can easily go to the coast, take a swim in the warm waters of the Mediterranean and return in the early evening.
