The house is in a small and very peaceful hamlet of a dozen houses at the end of a country lane. Across the lane from the front door is a lawned area and a courtyard with dining table and Weber gas barbecue. 15 metres to the side of the house and across the lane is the pool area, which is fenced and gated to keep children safe.
The only cars that enter the hamlet are those of residents, so it is very quiet.
The pool area is enclosed with greenery and the pool measures 8m x 4m (26ft x 13ft). There are sunloungers, seating area, shaded dining table and charcoal barbecue. In the poolhouse is a drinks fridge-freezer.
There is plenty of shaded parking available opposite the house.

Things to note
- Hamlet setting: The garden, courtyard and pool area are across the lane from the house, but this is a very calm lane, with no through traffic, only used by the handful of hamlet residents.
Guest reviews
Maison de Villars is in a very peaceful country hamlet, 1.4km (0.8 miles) from the Luberon village of Villars.
Set on a small hill, Villars is an authentic Luberon village whose orange tint tells you we are in ochre country. Its winding streets snake towards the main square with its bar and restaurants, fountain and lavoir for washing. Villars has three restaurants and a bakery. All around are vineyards and cherry orchards. This is a sleepy Provence setting where you can get a surprisingly good dinner.
