A grand, Renaissance house in the centre of the village of Grambois, this would have been the most important house in the village, and was built around 1700 by Lord Roquesante, with some parts going back to the 1300s. The house is set over 4 floors, all with country views, and includes a terrace with a sweeping 360 degree view of Provence. It has been expertly restored with historical accuracy – with original doors and fireplaces – and has the ambience of living in a small chateau. There are actually two kitchens, one on the ground floor by the dining room and balcony, and one on the top floor by the top terrace, so you can take your pick. and won’t have to walk far to serve a meal.

The house has three outside spaces: the lower ground level with pool and sunloungers; balcony with dining table on the ground floor outside the kitchen; and upper terrace with views outside the upper kitchen.
The pool measures 5.5m x 5.5m (18 x 18ft) and is reached by steps down from the balcony on the ground floor.
The balcony has a dining table and barbecue, and is shaded overhead by vines. Figs and grapes are in easy reach.
On the 2nd floor up, outside the upper kitchen, is the panoramic terrace with tables and chairs. Its views extend over all the surrounding countryside as well as the rooftops of Grambois.
The house is in the heart of the village of Grambois in the Luberon region of Provence.
Grambois is a very picturesque little village in the south Luberon mountain range of Provence, pretty enough to have been used for filming My Father’s Glory. There are medieval ramparts and a 12th century church in the centre, a good grocery store and a terrace café/restaurant, as well as a gourmet restaurant (L’Auberge des Tilleuls) at the foot of the village.
