Overview
Enjoy al-fresco lunches beneath the shady plane tree at this traditional Provençal farmhouse near Cavaillon. This is a wonderful base for visiting the antique stores of L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, the iconic villages of the Luberon and the glorious scenery of Les Alpilles.
Surrounded by apple orchards, the mature garden is a delight and the welcoming interiors will charm you. The house has been recently renovated yet many original features remain – there’s an air of Provençal simplicity downstairs with the lovely kitchen-diner and its gorgeously tiled floor alongside a relaxing sun room opening out to the shaded terrace. The high-ceilinged salon upstairs is such an inviting space to spend time with its large corner sofa, Smart TV and striking fireplace, designed by a 20th century Swedish artist, that has recently been brough back to life.
The farmhouse sleeps 8 guests across four bedrooms. On the ground floor the double has its own en suite and fireplace whilst upstairs are the three remaining bedrooms – a double and a twin that share a bathroom and another pretty double bedroom with a desk, juliette balcony and en suite shower room.
The spacious grounds feel private and secluded with a swimming pool, lawn, summer roses and lavender, all surrounded by apple orchards. You can look out towards Cavaillon’s Saint-Jacques hill from the front of the house and there are glorious views from a raised terrace.
Despite the countryside setting, within a very short drive you will reach a local bakery, supermarket and Cavaillon’s outskirts whilst the historic centre is less than 5km away. It’s an authentic Provençal town with a rich heritage, also loved for its delicious melons – look out for the bustling Monday morning market as well as the melon festival that takes place in July. Keen hikers note the villa is not far from the Chemin de Saint-Jacques whilst families will adore the newly opened Base nature du Grenouillet.
Elsewhere, potter around the charming town of L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue with its Sunday morning market and brocante, canoe/kayak along the Sorgue near Fontaine-de-Vaucluse, dine out in the Michelin starred restaurant in Eygalières and visit the art galleries of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence.
You are also so well located for the Luberon with its perched villages, vineyards, cycling trails and walking paths – the likes of Ménerbes, Gordes and Bonnieux are all within half an hour by car.

Location
About the surrounding area of Verger De PommiersSurrounded by apple orchards, Verger De Pommiers enjoys a rural setting just outside the Provençal town of Cavaillon on the edge of the beautiful Luberon region. Near the Vaucluse and Bouches-du-Rhône border, the nearest airports are Avignon and Marseille or arrive by train into Gare d’Avignon TGV (25km) with fast services from Paris taking just 2 hours 45 minutes.
Despite being in the countryside, the outskirts of Cavaillon are conveniently near – the nearest boulangerie is just a 5-minute drive away, as is a supermarket to stock up. The historic centre of Cavaillon is less than 5km away – it is an authentic and interesting town with a rich heritage. Stroll around its old quarter and admire the 17th century cathedral, beautiful synagogue, Jewish museum, charming old houses and Roman remains. Follow the marked footpath up to Chapelle Saint-Jacques for glorious views - keen hikers note the villa is well located for reaching the Chemin de Saint-Jacques.
Cavaillon is also famed for its melons and a festival dedicated to the delicious sweet fruit takes place in July – Melon en fête. Look out for seasonal melons and other wonderful produce from the region at the vibrant market on a Monday morning.
It is a short drive to the delightful town of L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue (11km) with its riverside cafes, impressive church, antique stores and Sunday morning market including one of southern France’s most famous brocantes. Meanwhile, Fontaine-de-Vaucluse (16km) is a paradise for outdoor adventurists with its hiking, canoeing and kayaking opportunities alongside a tree-top activity centre near the pretty village of Lagnes (12km).
Here you are on the edge of the idyllic scenery of the Luberon, famed for its perched villages, walking and cycling trails, orchards, lavender fields and vineyards. Visit some of the region’s famous villages such as Gordes (21km), Ménerbes (20km), Bonnieux (29km) and Roussillon (28km) or admire the handsome historic architecture of Apt (36km) with its Saturday morning market, the largest in the Luberon.
Heading west instead, the glorious landscapes of Les Alpilles awaits whether you wish to visit the art galleries of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence (22km), the upmarket restaurants of Eygalières (16km) or the gorgeous hilltop town of Les Baux-de-Provence (32km), one of France’s ‘Plus Beaux Villages’, surrounded by olive groves, woodland and limestone peaks.

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!
