Inside
The house dates back to 1770, and forms an ‘L’ around a shaded terrace with pergola and outside relaxation spots. A new wing provides a double-height living room as well as a dining room. The house also has the old living room and dining room, in the traditional Provence style, and each room flows into the next through arched openings. The kitchen is very new and was designed and equipped by a chef. For a 3-bedroom house, the downstairs provides a lot of living space, and means children and adults do not need to be on top of each other. The house has WiFi internet.

What we like
- Setting: All around are the vineyards of the south Luberon, this is real Provence countryside and a peaceful, relaxing setting.
- Location: Close to the south Luberon villages of Cucuron, Ansouis and Vaugines, with Lourmarin 4 miles away – gorgeous Provence villages with restaurant options that include two Michelin-starred restaurants within 3 miles, and plenty of simpler offerings too.
- Price: A 3-bedroom house with pool in a great location, and at an affordable rate.
Things to note
- Pool security: The pool has an alarm for security but care should still be taken with supervision of young children.
Guest reviews
The house is in the south Luberon countryside between the villages of Cucuron (2km/1.2 miles) and Ansouis (4.8km/3 miles).
Cucuron is a very charming village with its rampart walls and 14th century castle tower, and year-round activity. The centre of the village is the well-known pond lined by vast plane trees, this is the site of the Tuesday morning Cucuron market, as well as several restaurants, including the Michelin-starred La Petite Maison. Cucuron was relatively wealthy and busy until the Black Death laid waste to the village, and an architectural stroll through its streets is very rewarding. As well as being picturesque, Cucuron is practical, with shops and bakeries, a small supermarket, restaurants and cafes: a great Luberon base.
