What we like
- Cosy: The house has a welcoming cottage feel with its exposed beams and Provencal colours.
- Location: A great location in the countryside and vineyards in between two of the best villages in Provence – Ansouis and Cucuron – both of which have a Michelin-starred restaurant.
- Outdoors: Beautiful views, choice of dining spots, and that essential ingredient for Provence fun: a boules court.
Things to note
- Air Conditioning: The air conditioning is only in bedroom 3.
- Low beam: This is an old and characterful house, and as a result there is a low beam at the top of the stairs that tall people should watch out for.
Guest reviews
Villa Ansouis is in the countryside 1.5 miles (2.5km) from the village of Ansouis.
Ansouis, on the south side of the Luberon, is officially one of France’s Most Beautiful Villages, and it’s easy to see why: topped by a perfect medieval castle and church, with honey-coloured houses tumbling down, and hemmed in by vineyards, Ansouis is a little haven in a glorious Provence landscape. The village is peaceful and calm, with bakery, bar, grocery and an excellent restaurant, La Closerie. Natural swimming in a lake called l’Etang de la Bonde is 5 minutes away.
