Luxury provencal property near Oppède, Luberon, heated pool

2690ft² house for 10 persons with 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms In the very heart of Provence, this eighteenth-century farmhouse will enchant you with its deft combination of old and new. It is 1.5 km from Oppède, where you will find shops for everyday needs, and 10 km from Gordes, listed as one of the most beautiful villages in France. For activities such as canyoning, rock climbing and kayaking, Fontaine-de-Vaucluse is 14 km away. The town of Apt, the capital of candied fruit, is worth a trip, while the Roussillon Ochre trail offers a refreshing change of scene. The house is reached by a track leading up to the five-hectare vineyard, which has a Côtes du Luberon AOC classification, and of which 1,000 m2 around the house are open to holiday guests. The parking area is just by the entrance to the inner courtyard, below the boules playing area. The inner courtyard is a relaxation area where you can play table tennis or enjoy a drink on the shaded terrace. Access to the laundry room and the cycle shed (two men's, two ladies' and one children's mountain bike) is via this courtyard. The house is surrounded by vineyards, and the fully grassed poolside area dotted with trees and bushes is a very restful spot. The pool is heated. There is also an outdoor shower. By the kitchen, the arbor-shaded terrace offers an unobstructed view and includes an eating area, which has a barbecue equipped with a gas griddle and an electric grill. A lounge set, with a parasol for shade, is nearby. Built on a hillside, the farmhouse is 250 m2 over two levels. At the garden level, the generously sized living areas (kitchen, lounge/dining room) open onto the swimming pool area, where you can enjoy an unlimited view of the surrounding vineyards and the mountains of the Luberon.

From the spacious hallway, which allows you to move from room to room, a staircase leads down to the lower level, which opens onto the inner courtyard, where there is a laundry room and three bedrooms. One bedroom has one large double bed, and the second has two single beds. Both share a shower room. Inside, there is to pass the bedroom with the two single beds to access the bedroom with the double bed, which also has an independent access from the inner courtyard. A door separates these two rooms.The third bedroom, with a large double bed and a TV, has a separate entrance from the courtyard. This room features a vaulted ceiling of undeniable charm, and has its own fully equipped bathroom. All bathrooms have WC, and a separate WC on each floor completes the layout. All rooms have mosquito nets. We recommend this holiday home for its charming stone construction, its Provençal identity and the many activities it offers: cycle rides along the river Calavon, hiking in the Luberon mountains… or just relaxing around the pool. For a holiday with friends or as a family, you won't want for space, and everyone will find their secret garden here.
