The Ochre House is a perfectly designed for rentals, with its 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms sleeping 10, and emphasis on the outside spaces, pool and view – because outside is where you would be spending most of your time. The living room, kitchen and dining table are in one space, with the shaded terrace right outside. This house is all new for 2016.

There is a tiny hamlet to the rear, and the house faces south to the front with spectacular view over garden and open countryside. The pool is on the level below the house, then there is a large olive orchard and grassy field. The view takes in the length of the Luberon mountain and the valley below with the hill-top villages of Bonnieux and Lacoste.
Along the front of the house is a shaded terrace with dining table and seating area. There is a second seating area under shade by the pool, and a plancha for outdoor cooking.

The Ochre House is in the countryside 2km (1.2 miles) from the village of Roussillon.
Roussillon is one of the most recognisable villages in France. It used to be known for its ochre quarry, now it is known for the spectacular palette of ochre shades that colour the houses – there are said to be 17 different hues from yellow to pink. Roussillon is not just a pretty face, as a popular village it has several restaurants, art boutiques and a quaint market on Thursday mornings, so it is a good village base too. Not to mention the other-worldly ochre quarry which you can visit on a circuit of the ochre walk (sentier des ocres).
