Mas d'Oppede - Only Provence

This is the second time staying in this beautiful villa, and it was exactly as we remembered. Perfect for a relaxed family holiday as well as an ideal location to entertain family and friends. Separate en-suite bedrooms make this a great villa for adults or a family with older children. A perfect location close to all of our favourite villages in Provence, with a wonderful host who can’t do enough for us. The wine tasting day in and around Chateauneuf-du-Pope was a highlight, and as always, the antique markets in Fontaine-de-Vauclus and canoing down L’isle-sur-la-Sorgue

Mas d'Oppède is an absolute pearl. Value for money and more. My family is happy , thus I'm VERY happy - and long story short they all adored this villa. This Provence villa is indeed decorated in style and has got all the desirable amenities of a luxury villa both inside and outside. My family and I enjoyed (unfortunately only) one week in this villa during week 30, 2022 and we have nothing but praise and compliments to share when it comes to the quality and the location of the villa itself as well as the customer service/hospitality of Only Provence, property owner, house manager etc. If in doubt, try it out. This is a beautiful piece of France served to you on a silver plate. The property has the most fascinating, quite and peaceful location - overlooking vinyards and Montagne du Lubéron - and it's still located in close proximity to local grocery stores, shopping, cafes and restaurants. If you consider visiting Provence then please go, go, go :-)

To me this is the only way to experience Provence! The farmhouse, the pool and surrounding landscaping and vineyard were all beautiful. The smells of lavender and rosemary, walking across the street to the local vineyard for a tasting and the sunsets are experiences We will never forget. Absolutely Amazing!! We would recommend Only Provence to friends or family and the villa met our expectations and we would stay there again.

The Villa location is ideal, views are gorgeous, so quiet and peaceful. Kids loved the pool. Genevieve (house manager) was super accommodating and helpful. We had all the burnt out light bulbs replaced - there were many! We had two scorpions in the house (rare but can occur in all homes, especially in countryside during hot weather). Thought the booking process and communication was all terrific. We had a great trip! We would recommend Only Provence to friends or family and the villa met our expectations and we would stay there again.

We hadn't booked through 'Only Provence' before having used other villa companies for this region in the past. We had some concerns about committing a deposit as we didn't know anything about the company but the service was professional, efficient and property as described. The website photographs were accurate and the villa was of a high quality. We would be more than happy to book through only Provence in the future. We would recommend Only Provence to friends or family and the villa met our expectations. We like to spend time outside in the evenings playing cards etc and if it were our property we would improve the outside lighting we needed quite a lot of candles although we were expecting this. There were only three bicycles available and which meant the four people who had intended to cycle couldn't. The fourth bicycle was being repaired and was promised for Tuesday after our arrival but didn't ever appear. A minor point is the amount of fridge space for a house of this size. most of the properties we stay in have larger fridges or an outside kitchen fridge to fall back on. We like to shop in local markets and cook rathe than eat out every day and with 6 men drinking beer we found it tight for space for fresh food. Lovely villa, beautiful view and great location. Perfect layout for our combination of parents with adult daughters plus their partners. The service was very good apart from delivering the bicycle.

The house and setting were lovely. We had a wonderful time, but I do have some ideas for improving the place. First, a few typed pages about what's nearby (with detailed directions) would have been extremely helpful. A few hours work by someone familiar with the area would have spared us (and all other visitors) a lot of research on where to find a grocery store, a bakery, etc. Second, the people who greeted us spoke limited English, which was charming until we had a plumbing problem that needed to be discussed. Third, there were a lot of bugs in the pool. An extra cleaning during the week (or a pool cover) would have been ideal. We would you recommend Mas d Oppede, Only Provence, and Chefs or Tours. The people we dealt with at OP were lovely, and the house was as promised -- which is the most important factor in our satisfaction!

The villa was delightful, characterful and well located for exploring the nearby hilltop villages. We particularly enjoyed the petanque court. It was also a real bonus to have a lavender field right next door. We hope to go back to Mas d Oppede again in the future. I did not go on the wine tour but those who did said the guides were very knowledgeable and informative and they all learned a great deal from the experience as well as having a fantastic time. Chef Julien was outstanding and helped to make my son’s 26th birthday very memorable. I marvel at his ability to arrive, cook a gourmet meal in a kitchen he had never seen before then leave the kitchen in a better state than when he arrived. As for OnlyProvence, I would use one word - efficient. Everything went smoothly, with no hitches. Had we not booked through you we would not have discovered the marvelous chef or the tours. I am grateful to my daughter Rebecca who discovered you and thank you for enabling us to have a marvelous vacation.

Great villa. Exactly as billed. Warm welcome. Prompt response with any issues. Overall really happy. One of our children cut his arm quite badly on the Sunday after we arrived. A medical kit in the house would have been v helpful. Also, a list of key numbers, i.e hospital, pharmacy would have helped as well. Thank you for helping us to arrange a really great break.

It was the authentic Provence experience we were hoping for. The property and the view of Lavender, Vines and the Luberon mountains was the stuff of dreams. We were there in warm weather but when it is hot air conditioning might be needed in the Master bedroom given it is upstairs. My wife could not find the hair dryer! The villa was absolutely superb and the service and response from OnlyProvence excellent. Genevieve our villa liaison was extremely helpful including getting us an appointment at the local doctor when our daughter was sick when they said they could not see us. A local network helped! Chef Marie cooked the most amazing meal for us‚ we are still talking about it!

We had an amazing time at the property. We have been traveling around Europe this year, and this was our 8th property we've stayed at in the last 9 months, and hands down our favorite. You never know exactly what to expect when arriving, but the pictures still don't do it justice. It was for us without a doubt, home away from home. One of the games we play in the homes we've stayed at is, “what would we change if this was ours”; We had to admit that finally we had found a spot that the answer was, “nothing”; It was everything we would could have asked for. It's exactly how we would do a Mas in the Provence. It's large, spacious, bright, perfectly decorated with every amenity you need, while at the same time feeling cozy and charming. The house has so many doors and windows that open up to the garden that even while inside you have the feeling of being outside. It's completely updated so you lack for nothing while perfectly blending the charm you want when visiting the Provence. The garden is filled with nooks and crannies for outdoor eating, reading, sunbathing, sitting by the fountain or watching the incredible sunrise over the vineyards, right outside the kitchen door. The fully equipped kitchen actually was fully equipped and the fig tree in the garden dropping fruit made for some great baking, while the huge supermarket five minutes away has everything, and I mean everything. As a hobby cook I was in heaven.

The setting was beautiful. The house was very comfortable and seemed much larger than the website showed. The location couldn't have been more perfect and the site of the house had gorgeous views. We never wanted to leave. Only Provence is a very professional organization and treats it's clients with the highest regard. You all have excellent communication skills which helps take out all the guesswork needed for planning a great vacation.

Overview

Mas d’Oppède is a large renovated stone farm at the end of a winding dirt track among the vineyards and behind the lavender field. Set in a very quiet and peaceful place, the views from the property extend to the Luberon hills and the Alpilles. A pretty walk will take you to the local village of Oppede within 20 minutes.

Large terraces on different sides of the house are perfect for breakfasts, lunches, aperitifs or dinners in the sun or shade. Time has gone since the houses in Provence were dark and dull, with low ceilings and narrow windows.

The interior of the house is clean, bright and cozy – not what one might guess from stony authenticity of the outside. The two bedrooms on the ground floor and the Master bedroom on the first floor are air conditioned and each of the 4 bedrooms has his own en-suite bathroom.

A brand new shopping center has been built in Coustellet, less than 5 minutes drive. Close to the famous villages of Ménerbes and Oppède le Vieux.
