Chez La Campagne is a superb rural retreat set in 4 acres of garden with a large heated swimming pool and floodlit tennis court. It is set close to a village deep in the Luberon, renowned for its idyllic hill-top villages, cherry blossom landscapes, fragrant lavender fields and ripening vineyards, all bathed in the wonderful light that inspired so many famous painters.
Less than a ten minute stroll away (along country lanes) is a tiny village with a café and grocery store for your breakfast baguettes or you may prefer to take the car and stock up at the twice weekly markets in the nearby historic town of Apt, where there are supermarkets, restaurants and even a cinema.
The traditional feel of the old beamed farmhouse contrasts and beautifully blends with the large sitting and kitchen space of a modern extension, where one wall has been transformed into a wide window to showcase the hills beyond. Indeed, there are spectacular views from nearly everywhere in the house, including the bathtub in the master bedroom!
There is plenty of space here to socialise or find a spot for some peace and quiet. In the older part of the house is a comfy living room as well as a hallway dining area. Five bedrooms of the bedrooms are en suite - you may have to toss a coin for the master with its four-poster bed and private balcony or the air-conditioned double bedroom near the pool.
Take a day or two chez vous to absorb the ambience of this beautiful holiday home and try out all the activities on offer here – relaxing on lawns dotted with mature shading trees, a dip in the pool or a game of tennis, boules and table tennis. Then head to one of the nearby exquisite villages such as Bonnieux, Roussillon and Gordes or take a day trip to historic Avignon or lively Aix-en-Provence.
The Luberon National park is just a wonderful setting for hiking, horse riding, mountain biking, rock climbing or kayaking along the river Sorgue. Whatever you decide to do, you will love coming home to your place in the country.

Location
About the surrounding area of Chez La CampagneChez La Campagne is in a peaceful rural location within the Luberon Natural Park in the Vaucluse region of Provence, only a ten minute walk (no pavement) to a tiny village with a restaurant-café and grocery store for your fresh breakfast baguettes.
The nearest town is Apt (13km), an old Roman town with restaurants, supermarkets and fantastic Saturday and Tuesday morning markets where you can stock up with all kinds of fine local produce. The town is also renowned for its candied fruit - just in case you are a fan, La Maison du Fruit Confit is the place for you.
Imagine yourself in Provence and you might well visualise the Luberon - medieval perched hill-top villages, landscapes of cherry blossom, redolent lavender fields and ripening vineyards, all bathed in the wonderful light that inspired so many famous painters like Cézanne and Van Gogh.
Roussillon (24km) is one of France’s 'Plus Beaux Villages' due to its delightful hilltop setting and maze of narrow winding streets and pretty squares, all so many different shades of ochre It’s a technicoloured place that contrasts beautifully with the green pines or blue sky and has always been loved by artists. There are many galleries and boutiques to explore here as well as an art trail – afterwards you might like to try out one of the fine restaurants in the main square.
You are also within easy driving distance of another exquisite village in France, Bonnieux (25km). From here there are wonderful views across the Vaucluse plateau towards the equally enticing Lacoste (28km). The village of Ménerbes (34km) was the setting for Peter Mayle’s “A Year in Provence” and Gordes (33km), sometimes described as the “Parthenon of Provence”, is yet another one of France’s 'Plus Beaux Villages' with many cultural events during the summer.
The Luberon National park is just a wonderful setting for hiking, horse riding, and mountain biking or kayaking along the river at L’Isle sur La Sorgue (45km), a town famous for its antiques. Rock climbers congregate at the dramatic gorge near Buoux (18km), a small historic village in the heart of the rolling hills.
Serious cyclists will relish the challenge of climbing Mont Ventoux (64km) but there are plenty more leisurely local rides. Hire a bike in Apt and take part of the recently completed cycle route between the town and Coustellet (35km). Walkers can pick up up the GR hiking trail which passes near your villa or you may just prefer the sensory delights of a gentle stroll through wonderful landscapes.
For a great day out, head to Avignon (67km km), the capital of Vaucluse and the Cotes du Rhône, with its UNESCO World Heritage Site historic centre, Papal Palace and famous bridge. Aix-en-Provence (63km km) is one of France's most beautiful university towns, a centre for music, ballet and theatre and full of fine tea houses and restaurants.

Region
The Provençal way of life is one that’s deeply tempting for anyone who’s been feeling the need to get away from it all. This is a place where the Mediterranean weather turns fields of corn and lavender into picture-perfect backdrops, where you can sip your locally bought wine and enjoy the landscapes before heading out and tackling them head-on with a range of great activities for families, groups of friends and adventurous foodies. Better yet, our range of villas in Provence and chateaux and holiday homes in the Côte d’Azur make the perfect base to explore this enchanting region!
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesThe Luberon Natural Park provides the perfect setting for enjoying an ice cream in one of its exquisite villages as well as a wealth of outdoor activities.
Horse-riding and mountain biking seem even more special in the spectacular landscapes of hills, olive groves and vineyards. More memories can be created by kayaking along the river Sorgue, under an hour away, or by visiting the fantastic tree-top activity centre at La Tour D’Aigues.
Young and old train lovers alike will love the model railway, the JardiTrain, just south of Carpentras whilst animal lovers might want to head to Zoo La Barben which has over 600 species of animals – both places can be reached in around an hour by car.
For a family day out there are the museums and the little tourist road-train in Aix-en-Provence – don’t miss the beautifully decorated Paul Cézanne carousel in the centre of town. Avignon, with its UNESCO World Heritage sites and boat trips along the Rhône, is another lovely place to visit.

A dream come true
It's difficult to get a real idea of the place from the photos, but it is exactly what we'd dreamed of. A view to die for; totally quiet; a delightful home; and, most importantly, endless tennis, swimming, table tennis etc to keep the kids happy. I couldn't think of a nicer house in which to spend our holidays.
Don't miss out! Reserve now and get a full refund if you change your mind within 48hrs.
