About the home

Domus Alba is a perfect summer hideaway with its large and beautifully kept gardens, pool and tennis courts, yet the property is only 5 minutes from Cavaillon, the 'Melon Capital of the World', Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, famous for its antiques, markets and waterways, and the beautiful countryside and villages of the Luberon.

With large airy rooms, plenty of bathrooms and a total makeover for summer 2009, the house is suitable for families and groups of adults alike, with 200m2 of terracing to catch the sun at all times of the day, and indoor dining for 16!

The large pool is 145m2 with a 'beach', ample sun loungers and umbrella for when the sun is just too fierce. The grounds, of almost 2 acres have a shallow ornamental pond and a Carpentras canal tributary runs through the property.

The Provence Alpes Cote d'Azur / Vaucluse region

The Vaucluse department, in the heart of Provence in the South East of France is renowned for its exquisite scenery and abundance of historic villages. Enjoying a luxurious Mediterranean climate, the region has become the French destination of choice for the discerning visitor and the Provençal hideaway for rat race escapees.

The rolling hills and perched villages of the Lubéron are bounded by Cavaillon and Manosque to the West and East, and from Apt south to the River Durance. Mediterranean flora carpets the drier South face of the main range, Oaks grow on the steeper North face and on the lower slopes, orchard fruits, olives, walnuts and of course, grapes are bountiful.

North of the historical city of Avignon, the Vaucluse extends north-east from the lucrative vineyards of Chateauneuf du Pape and the Roman treasures of Orange, through to the rocky Dentelles de Montmirail, the slopes of Mont Ventoux and the harsh and uninhabitable plateau d'Albion in the department's easternmost corner.

The Cavaillon area

Within 20 minutes pretty drive of Domus Alba, you can reach L'isle-sur-la-Sorgue, the 'little Venice' of France, the famous Fontaine de Vaucluse where the Sorgue river springs mysteriously through rock from 300 metres below, as well as the immaculate golf course at the Provence Country Club.

The beautiful Luberon hills, your view from the house, stretch East, and are the home to the most stunning historical villages in the country, many made famous by Peter Mayle: Gordes, Bonnieux, Lacoste, Roussillon, Menerbes... the list is endless - there are far too many wonderful places to visit to mention here. It's no wonder that the Luberon is the chosen holiday destination for those who are 'in the know'.
