With its walled courtyard garden, which is not overlooked, the outside space at Les Petitons blends with the inside. The garden is a lush, green space with the shade of a pine tree, the outside jacuzzi/hot tub under a pergola, and both shaded and sunny spots to relax in.
One shaded corner has the comfortable outdoor sofa and armchair, and in another is the hammock. Outdoor dining is by the kitchen, or in the cool of the barn which has a mezzanine floor with a relaxing reading/study area and one wall opening to the garden.
The courtyard has the relaxing sound of the fountain, and at night atmospheric lighting sets the mood. For outdoor cooking there are the plancha and deep-fat fryer.

Guest reviews
Les Petitons is in a quiet setting between the villages of Oppede and Oppede-le-vieux, and walkable to both with their restaurants, cafes and bakery.
The two Oppedes are quite different in character: Oppede-le-vieux, perched halfway up the Luberon mountain, is the original medieval village dating back 1000 years or so, and is a fascinating time-locked glimpse into the past, with no hint of modernity allowed inside the walls. You can walk up to the church and castle ruins above the village for a spectacular view over the Luberon valley.
Down in the valley the new Oppede is where the population descended to in the last century, and this is a completely untouristy, authentic Provence village with two restaurants and a bar, bakery and tennis courts. Oppede is a calm and well-positioned base from which to explore the region’s highlights.
