About the home

Spectacular views are just one of the highlights of this very special property. You can admire the views across the Luberon valley, with its hillsides thick with olive trees and vineyards, dotted with hilltop villages. This is the magical backdrop that can be yours while you sit on the patio and sip your aperitif after a day spent soaking up the sun by your private pool or perhaps visiting one of the numerous local sites.

Although the property is fairly recently built, the owners have included lots of traditional Provencal style, making this a comfy and very private 4 bedroomed house, idyllic for families and couples who want a relaxing ‘get away from it all’ vacation.

The property is set on 1.5 hectares of land on a south facing hill. The distinctive Provencal landscaped garden gently slopes down to a pool for serious swimmers. And if sunbathing is more your cup of tea, then the encircling terrace with its fragrant Mediterranean vegetation is a winner and even here there is no escape from that spellbinding view.
