The owners of this particular home have succeeded greatly in maintaining authenticity within the soul of the building, while adding contemporary amenities such as air-conditioning, a modern kitchen, comfortable beds and bedding, and of course a wonderfully refreshing pool.
The interiors are simultaneously calm and chic, inviting guests to truly relax and enjoy their time together. The design here is very clever, with the garden level dedicated to communal living space and outdoor terraces, and upper areas reserved for bedrooms.
The beautifully kept garden area and pool offer a welcome respite between days of exploration throughout the region.
Lourmarin itself is one of the most sought-after villages of the area, and a village house of this standard and amenities here is quite unique. The cafes and restaurants are a short two-minute walk from the front entrance of the home, yet with tall trees and stone walls encompassing the property, there is a great sense of peaceful privacy maintained here as well.

Listed as "one of the most beautiful villages in France", Lourmarin nestles in the middle of vinyards, olive groves and almond trees.
A very animated village in the summer due to its numerous cafe terraces, restaurants and boutiques, Lourmarin attracts many visitors.
There is a 15th and 16thc, castle that has peculiar stairs to see and magnificent apartments to admire (only the Renaissance part of the castle is open to the public).
In the village you will notice the typical Mediterranean architecture in its winding narrow streets, lovely old restored houses, and well shaded public squares where you can immerse youself in the gentil Provençal ambience.
The inhabitants will want to remind you that Albert Camus, winner of the Nobel Literature Prize, lived and wrote here.
