Mas de l’Ermitage is situated on the southern edge of the Luberon hills, just one kilometer (10-15 mins walk) from the lovely village of Ansouis classified as one of the most beautiful villages of France, offering a historical castle, famous restaurant, and charming local shops. This area is beloved by those who seek idyllic Provençal nature and authenticity yet also want to enjoy easy proximity to Aix-en-Provence (within 25 minutes’ drive). Many beautiful villages are nestled here within a short drive, including Lourmarin, Vaugines, and Cucuron, each surrounded by scenes of vineyards and olive groves.
This charming 4 bedroom/5 bath farmhouse, ( a former bergerie) has been renovated with a stunning modern kitchen, a light-filled sitting room, and en-suite bedrooms. Outdoors, the property’s expansive green space is filled by gorgeous, tall trees and manicured gardens, and is bordered by a small stream.
The large swimming pool is a perfect place to play or relax, whether under the hot summer sun or enjoying the shade of the high oak trees. There is complete peace and quiet here, with summer days filled with the song of cicadas. Various terraces also allow guests to enjoy the outdoors whether for breakfast, lunch, aperitif or dinner, as well as every season of the year.
With such a convenient and beautiful setting straddling both the Luberon and the Aix region , matched by complete comfort in design, Mas de l’Ermitage is a truly wonderful home for enjoying the best of Provence.
Ansouis village is located on kilometer from the house. It is rated as "One of the most beautiful villages of France". It has a few nice restaurants and local shops. In Lourmarin, there is a 15th and 16th century plus typical Mediterranean architecture in its winding narrow streets, lovely old restored houses, and well shaded public squares where you can immerse yourself 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 and was buried in the Lourmarin cemetary. In such esthetic surroundings and so lively an atmosphere, it is really the place to be in the Luberon in the summer months.
The easiest way to get to Inland Provence from the US is to fly to Marseille International Airport (MRS). If you would like to see Paris, fly to Charles de Gaulle Airport then connect directly to the TGV (high speed train) from CDG TGV2 to Avignon TGV (3 hours direct) and rent a car. You would plan to see Paris on the way back, taking the TGV from Avignon TGV to Paris Gare de Lyon, getting a cab to your hotel in the city.
