Stay in an extraordinary villa surrounded by outstanding natural beauty perfectly positioned to experience the authenticity and rural charm of the Hautes-Alpes in southern France.
Set in a small countryside hamlet, this 17th century farmhouse has been brought back to life with a remarkable transformation by its artistic owners who rescued this derelict building over ten years ago. With a keen eye for detail, this architect-designed home now manages to show-case superb modern design alongside original features and is a truly unique and special place to stay.
Expect nothing less than designer furnishings, both contemporary and classic, high-end facilities and 21st century gadgets. In the main villa, each of the five bedrooms have been stylishly designed with en suite shower rooms, two also featuring rolltop baths. A sixth bedroom can be found in a small yet charming studio with its own well-equipped kitchenette and lounge area, ideal for one or two guests looking for a little extra privacy.
Come together and enjoy an al-fresco lunch in the shade of the ancient oak, by the wood-fired pizza oven and looking out towards the pine trees. Learn how to play petanque, sunbathe on one of the terraces or drink coffee as you gaze out to the mountains and appreciate the stunning scenery surrounding you. The glorious outdoors also features a heated swimming pool and an inviting hot tub, ideal for an evening star-gazing whatever the time of year. Perhaps followed by a drink from the honesty bar in the stone vaulted 17th century cellar.
Potter around nearby villages and towns, visiting traditional cafes, brocantes or local Farmer markets – the Thursday morning Provençal market in Laragne-Monteglin is particularly delightful. Admire the lavender fields dotted across the landscapes of this region and enjoy picnics and summer swimming by the shores of the River Büech. The turquoise-coloured water at the Gorges de la Méouge is especially beautiful with its cascades and gorgeous views.
Outdoor enthusiasts will also love the hiking, cycling and rock-climbing opportunities close by and if staying in the winter months then the ski slopes of Le Dévoluy are just over half an hour away. For sunnier times, look out for watersports at local lakes and more swimming spots – you could even drive as far as the incredible Lac de Serre-Ponçon, one of Europe’s largest lakes, for yet more majestic landscapes in this glorious region.

Location
About the surrounding area of La Maison Des BaronniesIn the Hautes-Alpes with its incredible natural beauty, La Maison Des Baronnies is in a wonderful area for lakeside picnics, fresh-water swimming, hiking and cycling alongside characterful market towns and even winter sports. In the foothills of the southern Alps, yet also close to the departments of Drôme and Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, enjoy the best of both worlds whilst really getting to know this authentic part of rural south-eastern France.
Set in a small hamlet in the countryside, at an altitude of 850m, the nearest restaurant-bar, grocery store and boulangerie can be found in a local village just a 10-minute drive away or head to Veynes (20km) for a larger supermarket and a Thursday morning market selling fruit, vegetables and other regional produce. Serres (17km) hosts another traditional market on a Saturday morning which is also worth a visit. Furthermore, look out for weekend brocantes taking place in the summer months across nearby villages and towns.
Laragne-Monteglin (34km) is home to an atmospheric Provençal market on a Thursday morning selling all sorts of fantastic local delights as well as products made out of lavender which is grown in the Büech valley (you can follow the Routes de la Lavande during your stay). The town is also close to Plan d'Eau du Riou, a perfect spot for a picnic by the lake in beautiful surroundings.
Another idyllic place is Gorges de la Méouge (40km) with its riverside beaches and cascades or alternatively, slightly closer, Plan d’Eau de Veynes is a great place for kids with its inflatable water park, café and gorgeous scenery.
This region is also loved by rock-climbing enthusiasts and the village of Orpierre (35km) has gained a reputation for its many climbing opportunities. Other outdoor activities include fishing, hiking and cycling – La Tour de France often passes through the area.
As well as many of the area’s lakes, the River Buëch is also a popular place for local swimmers and pretty picnics. Just over an hour away, the famous Lac de Serre-Ponçon, in the Alps, offers a variety of watersports and yet more outstanding landscapes.
Slightly closer to home, visit the attractive town of Gap (45km) with its vibrant weekly market, picturesque lanes and terrace cafes for relaxed al-fresco dining.
Not to mention the winter sports of Les Hautes-Alpes with over 100km of slopes around La Joue du Loup and Le Dévoluy ski resorts – in the summer the slopes become a mecca for downhill mountain bikers!

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: TeensPicnics by the riverside, summer swimming in lakes, canoeing with mountain views and walks through beautiful rural scenery – there is plenty to keep active families busy in this beguiling part of south-eastern France.
Pick up fresh bread, local cheeses and charcuterie from the atmospheric Provençal market in Laragne-Monteglin, then drive to the nearby lake, Plan d'Eau du Riou, for a picnic in glorious surroundings. Even closer, Plan d’Eau de Veynes is another picturesque spot with various water-based activities in the summer including an inflatable waterpark and slides.
The Base de Loisirs at La Germanette is also fantastic with its outdoor swimming pool, a playground for youngsters and wonderful views.
For the most adventurous families, rock-climbing is very popular around the village of Orpierre, 35km away, whilst mountain bike enthusiasts can head to the ski slopes which transform into biking trails around July and August, just over half an hour away.
For an incredibly special family day out, drive to one of Europe’s largest lakes, Lac de Serre-Ponçon, for beautiful beaches, kayaking, sailing, swimming and extraordinary natural beauty. Or drive south to Dignes-Les-Bains, around 90 minutes away, and hop on Le Train des Pignes for further exploring of this amazing area.

- How long have you owned the property?
La Maison des Baronnies is a true labour of love for us. We had purchased the completely derelict building 14 years ago and it has taken us over 12 years to restore it. We encountered countless problems along the way from the original stone vaults collapsing, the architect quitting on us, the main electric contractor’s business going into liquidation, the steel carpentry contractor walking out halfway through the project, and three floods on site to name a few!
We somehow persevered and took on a lot of the work ourselves. Jason designed and built a lot of the furniture and fittings himself, including the steel beds and sideboards, which we think complement the many design classics we have furnished the house with. We finally completed the project and opened our doors to guests in July 2020. We were slightly apprehensive at first as it is such a personal project but it turns out that it is incredibly rewarding to be able to share our house with many guests from different parts of the world who all seem to really enjoy and appreciate the house and the many details that we had worked very hard to achieve.
- What was it about the property that you first fell in love with?
The building was completely derelict but we saw its amazing potential. We fell in love with the original stone work, the large open plan space, as well as the original vaulted ceilings. Although some of the vaults had sadly collapsed during the restoration, we were able to replace them with more contemporary features.
- Are there any interesting stories in its history?
La Maison des Baronnies dates back to the 17th century (some parts as old as 15th century) and is the oldest building in the small rural hamlet where it is located (it outdates the village church!). The house was once a barn that kept sheep with a farmhouse above it and even a small chapel to its side, but lay derelict for decades. Following the collapse of the part of the building back in 2009, the house was reconstructed saving whatever possible of its original features but also introducing contemporary elements. This has resulted in a truly unique building combining ancient architecture with modern and contemporary design.
- Have you ever had any famous guests staying?
Yes, we’ve had a few from the TV and film industry as well as a prime minister of a certain European country stay with his family but we’d rather not name names!
- For anyone coming to stay, is there anything you suggest that they really
- Must do? For us is really to just enjoy the house. We are surrounded by incredible nature and the Hautes-Alpes is renowned for the many outdoor activities on offer but most of our guests end up not venturing too far from the house! But of course, if you want to make the most of the Hautes-Alpes, you can choose from kayaking, hiking, mountain biking, rock climbing, to paragliding to name a few. Not to mention skiing in the winter!
- Must eat? The fresh seasonal produce grown in plenty of sunshine. There are weekly markets where you can pick them up. Look out also for delicious local honey. The lamb from nearby Sisteron is famous throughout France.
- Must see? The incredibly clear sky with countless stars! The area is famous for its pure air with very little light pollution with Observatoire des Baronnies Provençales 30 minutes drive away. There are many stunning landscapes in the area with rivers, gorges, and lakes. In July the lavender route takes you through fields of lavender but a sea of red poppies in June and bright yellow sunflowers as far as the eye can see in August are equally beautiful.
- What insider tip would you pass on about the property or the area?
We love visiting the weekly Provencal market in the village of Laragne-Monteglin 30 minutes drive away. We first pick up a few croissants from the bakery, head straight to the cafe at the start of the market and order a cafe allongé to have with the croissants on the terrace (you are allowed to bring your own snacks and pastries in many cafes in France). After a bit of people watching with the coffee and croissants, we stroll through the market picking up some cheese, olives, fresh fruit, saucisson, etc from the various stalls. We then take these and head to the nearby lake (Plan d’eau du Riou) and have a picnic. It’s a wonderful spot surrounded by mountains. We have many lovely spots for picnics along the rivers and lakes.

Your Beautiful Home
Thank you so much for having us at your beautiful home. We couldn’t have wished for a more perfect setting to celebrate Dad’s 60th birthday with the whole family. So much love, thought and dedication has gone to creating this magnificent home in such a tranquil setting. We loved using the pizza oven, BBQ, cocktail cave and Eric the chef was a DREAM!! We have learned to respect the gravel tracks when riding the bikes… (sorry about the accident)… but thankfully Jack is ok :-). Such special memories, never forgotten. We hope to come back one day and will tell all of our friends.
-
Enjoyed Immensely
Thank you so much for allowing us to stay at your stunning home. We have enjoyed ourselves immensely. There has been much chopping and cooking up of feast, cycling (some e-bike converts now amongst us), swimming and poaching in the onsen. We have rested and chatted and bonded in this delightful location while also being able to find little quiet corners indoors and out. Some amongst the group have already predicted that we will return (if you’ll have us) - it’s been that wonderful!
-
Thank You
Thank you for this incredible house which immerses us directly in a good atmosphere! Accompanied by these magnificent landscapes and starry skies!! Thank you!
-
Lives up to its billing!
I recently had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful property, which is 100% true to its posting. Nestled in a tranquil setting, it provided the perfect backdrop for a relaxing getaway. The house is well-maintained, showcasing both style and comfort, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The pool was a standout feature — clean, spacious, and just what one needs to unwind on a sunny day. Most importantly, the hosts were fantastic. Their kind nature and prompt responses ensured our needs were always met, making our stay hassle-free and memorable. Chef Eric was magnificent. All in all, a wonderful place with equally wonderful hosts. It's absolutely worth a visit if you're looking for a peaceful retreat with all the amenities.

We had a wonderful stay
Thank you Keiko & Jason!
We had a wonderful stay at your beautiful house and loved discovering this unspoilt and special place.
Highlights for us:
• Lots of time in the pool
• Long lunches and dinners under the oak tree
• Local markets, especially Die
• Amazing bike ride over the hill to Montbrand and lovely valley
• Daring drive up to the ridge above Aspres - worth it for those with appropriate car!
We hope to be back again soon -

Wonderful week
Architecture, design, a peaceful setting in a beautiful landscape… These ingredients alone would have been enough to give us a wonderful week! Add a swimming pool, a hot tub, pizza oven and cocktail bar, oh and a few mountain bikes and paddle boards and we’ve got something exceptional! We, two sisters and their families LOVED our time in this house and we all agreed, we could have stayed longer. Our favourite highlights were the market at Die, the Gorges de la Méouge and the hike at the Col de Haute Beaume. Thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to celebrate a special birthday and enjoy quality family time in an amazing setting. Your warm welcome, hospitality and willingness to help with all our questions was the cherry on top of the cake. We wish you all the best and will dream of returning to La Maison Des Baronnies.

Everything is present in the kitchen, bathroom, outside in the garden, the swimming pool... etc. The care products are also of high quality. Not to mention, a cinema room is also available. Simply excellent. Then I haven't even mentioned the owners who live in an adjacent, yet separate house. Very pleasant and helpful people.

Excellent hospitality
We really enjoyed our three day stay in your beautiful studio. The studio is attractively furnished and equipped with all conveniences. The cozy terrace outside the studio completes it. Your hospitality is excellent. The environment is peaceful and there is plenty to do. We hope to see you both again next year! The pizzas tasted very good!

We can't wait to go back
La Maison Des Baronnies is the best mix of old and new architecture, comfort and great design, and rest and relaxation. The house itself is clearly a labour of love and it is hard to believe the owners let anyone stay there, but thankfully they do! The maison is a wonderful blend of ancient farm buildings with stone vaults, and a modern addition to the house which provides many spectacular views across the country side and the mountains. The house is very well equipped with all manner of kitchen gadgets, as well as outdoor pizza oven and barbecue. There is even an outdoor fridge to keep drinks cool by the pool. Beautifully furnished throughout, the house is great social space and full of light. The stylish bedrooms are really comfortable and generously proportioned, and all have their own beautifully appointed bathroom. The cinema room is great fun, and has its own well stocked drinks fridge. There is also a bar in the vaults on the ground floor where you can help yourself to a generously stocked honesty bar.
Outside there are several dining and seating areas, so our group of 8 always had enough room to find some peace and quiet. The pool is kept to a generous 29 degrees, with a fresh water hot tub nearby. The lighting of the pool and garden area at night makes midnight swims very tempting.
We had a fabulous week with 6 adults and 2 teenagers. We loved the relaxing rural setting and scenery which provide great cycling and walking country. There is a bakery, supermarket and restaurants in nearby villages, and the house is close to several fresh water swimming lakes. We particularly enjoyed the lake of Serre-Ponçon where you can hire all kind of boats and paddle boards, or just go for a swim and a picnic.
The owners are very friendly and helpful, near by but never in your way.
We can't wait to go back to La Maison Des Baronnies, and explore more of the stunning Alpine scenery. -
