On the edge of a little Luberon village, Villa Auguste is such a picturesque stone house with beautiful furnishings and a gorgeous garden and swimming pool, within walking distance to the boulangerie, as well as local restaurants and a bar.

As you wander inside the villa, discover pretty arched doorways and picture-perfect windows framing the lovely views of the garden. With cool tiled floors and elegant furnishings, there’s a classic style throughout, perfectly combined with many contemporary features. From various parts of the ground floor, large French windows open up to the terraces and garden, allowing this charming house to seamlessly blend al-fresco and indoor living.  

Out of the five bedrooms, one is downstairs with a modern shower room whilst four more doubles with air-conditioning are on the first floor. Each bedroom is individual in style whether it’s the inviting double with its wood-beamed ceiling, the one with the pretty courtyard views or the master with its king-sized bed, en suite shower room and glorious views of the Luberon hills.

Outside, there is ample room for dining on the attractive terrace, sun-bathing by the colourful summer plants and splashing around in the swimming pool. There’s an overall feel of privacy in this enclosed outdoor space with an abundance of greenery as well as olive trees giving it a delightful Provençal ambience.

Step out of your gardens and wander down the road to the village, passing neighbouring vineyards and looking out to wonderful views of the Luberon hills. This small village is home to a boulangerie, butchers and a small handful of restaurants as well as a bell tower and steep cobbled lanes in the old quarter.

Visit atmospheric Farmer’s markets close by and explore many of the Luberon’s archetypal perched villages such as Gordes, Bonnieux and Roussillon, all reached within half an hour or less. Sample the summer melons of nearby Cavaillon, sweet cherries of Ménerbes and of course the AOC Côtes du Luberon wines of the village and beyond.

Spend endless days cycling, horse-riding or hiking through the dreamy Luberon landscapes or perhaps stay closer to home and walk through the surrounding vineyards and hills, always admiring the beauty of this extraordinary part of Provence.
