This beautiful country home with infinity pool sleeps up to 6 and is set in a fabulous extensive grounds, where kids can run riot truffle hunting or firing bows and arrows at imaginary bad guys. Set in a national park in the heart of Provence’s Luberon valley, the views stretch across lavender bushes, pines and olive trees. There’s a large terrace, pool with decking area, and ample picnicking spots, along with three beautiful bedrooms. The open-plan living makes it ideal for families with children who relish exploring. While here, visit the nearby hill-top village of Gordes and Goult or walk in the fabulous red-rocked Sentier des Ocres - all the while soaking up the light that inspired the art of Van Gogh and Cezanne.

I am French, my husband is Danish and we have lived in many different places over the years: California, Denmark, the UK, Dubai and Spain. Since we are moving frequently, we have decided to buy a family house for our children to feel home, a house in a place we love. South of France was a natural choice for us: every year, while I used to spend my entire summer in Luberon with my cousins, my husband's family would drove all the way down from Denmark to enjoy Provence's country life and delicious food. Luberon is a piece of heaven with its beautiful scenery, culture and preserved beauty.

Truly one of the best vacations our family has ever had. The house is absolutely stunning - pristine and well-suited for families, with absolutely amazing views. It has a terrific amount of privacy but still is very close to several of the Luberon villages. All the house features worked beautifully - we had so many lovely family meals outside. Couldn't recommend more highly.

This property is one of those rare finds, where it's more beautiful than the images online. When we drove up to the property, we were surrounded by the beauty of Provence's nature and a view of the valley below. This property has it all - space, privacy, it's well-equipped, and oh so family friendly! Our kids had a blast playing with the toys on site and, of course, playing in the pool most of all. Our stay here was hands down the highlight of our vacation and I would recommend it without reservations.

It was clean and no surprise. The house was not easy to find but the owner gaved the GPS coordinate which was really helpful. They were nice and some toys were there for the kids. It was a great house to rent, we are happy with our choice.

We had an absolutely wonderful time in this beautiful home, the view is breathtaking, with the sunsets which get better each night. It is very well appointed, very comfortable, but with loads of style. The caretaker was incredibly helpful and kind, we hope to return again.

Gordes, Luberon

In the foothills of the mountains

Due west of Avignon, Gordes is one of the most beautiful villages in France, perched up on the foothills of the Vaucluse mountains overlooking the Luberon plain. Known as the capital of the Luberon, its ancient houses cling to the hillside and offer tight alleyways and narrow cobblestoned streets to explore. Don’t miss the Tuesday market for handicrafts, souvenirs and fresh produce; it’s a great place to get the kids trying out their best French.
