About the home

A recently restored large, elegant farmhouse in the centre of the village, ideal for a large group of up to 10 people. Located in a very calm and private space, and benefits from 500m of garden with a 9m X 5m swimming pool

It was actually a Provencal silk farm expertly converted into a superb 5 bedroom holiday house which has retained many original features.

Situated in the heart of Maubec, a village of extreme beauty located in the Luberon National Park. Within 5 minutes walk you stumble across the local baker, a bar, the village store & a restaurant.

5 air-conditioned bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, modern fully equipped kitchen and a comfortable sitting room with separate bar. Outside, there is also plenty of space; a dining area with built in barbecue. Interior courtyard. Swimming pool

Facilities

Further details indoors:
Originally desinged by a chef intending to run cookery course, the kitchen and living area provide the focal point for this house. This is clear from the fantastic facilities - the kitchen equipment includes a microwave, oven, fridge, freezer, dishwasher and washing machine.

The furniture in the living room is all antique, and sourced locally from Isle Sur L'Sorgue. With high-beamed ceilings and stone interior, the living room has a light airy feel. An interesting feature of the property is the bar area, where you can sit and reax, maybe reading or playing cards to while away the hours!

Each of the five bedrooms are individually designed, and are equipped with oduble beds. Each bedroom has its own en suite shower room with WC. There's also a seprate WC in the property.

Further details outdoors:
Outside, there's a converted barn with BBQ, table, chairs and kitchen area, perfect for dining outside during the long summer evenings!

Within the well-kept grounds, you'll find garden furniture for kicking back and relaxing during those long days. Alternatively, if you're feeling more active, there's a ping pong table and, of course, the refreshing private pool. There's also parking for 3 cars, protected by electric gates.

The traditional exterior

The Provence Alpes Cote d'Azur / Vaucluse region

There's loads to do in the Vaucluse region. The scenery is some of the most stunning in France, and has always provided a challenge to serious climbers, cyclists and hikers. Alternatively, there's Tennis available in Apt or Bonnieux, horseback riding in Apt and mountain bikes for rent in Bonnieux. It really is hard to get bored here!

There are many Regional summer festivities throughout the region: theatre in Avignon, opera in Aix and Orange, a jazz festival in La Roque d’Antheron and many antique fairs and flea markets. Many of the small local villages host their own summer festivals, and many have a weekly market, well worth a visit to see the range of local produce on offer.

If it's history you're after, there's Avignon, with the Palace Of The Popes and some of the finest examples of Medieval architecture in Europe. Or for a Roman theme, sites such as St Remy De Provence and Pont Du Garde are nearby. Each village seems to have its own history, so why not pay a visit, and wander through the narrow winding streets, or explore the ramparts and Medieval churches.

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

The Maubec area

Maubec is a quiet village at the foot of the Luberon Mountains, with it’s own baker, village shop, restaurant, bar and post office. It has been in the history books since the 12th century. It’s a stunning old village: the mountain scenery, olive groves, cherry trees, and vineyards make it a small paradise waiting to be discovered.

Activities available locally in the village include tennis courts, walking and biking trails.

There is a Farmers market in nearby Coustellet, (3kms), and other markets can be found in Oppede, L'Isle sur la Sorgue, (famous for antiques). You’ll find the nearest supermarket in Cavaillon, 7km away.

Cavaillon is the nearest large town, and is famous in France for having the best melons in Europe.

Guestbook for Villa St Henri

A superb, well equipped, clean and comfortable property with lovely gardens and a well maintained pool.

Mr R, Kent, UK. August 2011.

The villa was excellently equipped (particularly the kitchen) spacious, well-laid out allowing privacy for two families and very comfortable. The girls (and the pool man) who looked after the property were great - considerate and helpful. The grounds were cleverly arranged, with shady and quiet areas, lovely planting and a well designed pool area. The covered outdoor dining area was perfect for card games as well as family meals. The welcome box of fresh fruit was a great start to a lovely holiday.

Mrs P, London, UK, July 2011

Beautiful property in a delightful, quiet village close to all of the tourist hotspots in the Luberon. We couldn't have had a better location for our first visit to the area. Very Satisfied.

Mr N, Birmingham, September 2009
