About this property

Provence Céreste in Luberon, 18th century sheepfold, between Apt and Manosque, on 47 ha

At the end of a small country road in the Alpes de Haute Provence, on the edge of Vaucluse, in the heart of the Luberon Regional Natural Park you will discover our stone sheepfold, completely renovated and located in the middle of oaks, pines and garrigue and flowering thyme and lavender…
Our isolated property is a haven of peace and silence: ideal to rest away from the noise of the modern world ... Or on the contrary to practice music without disturbing the neighbors ...

The Provence-Luberon intermunicipal office granted La Renardière the 4-star ATOUT FRANCE classification on November 17, 2015 ...

Fabulous villa, beautiful surroundings.

Had a fabulous two week stay in this beautiful villa. The pool is wonderful and the views are magnificent. Fred and his wife, who look after the place, were most helpful throughout our stay. Will definitely look to return next year as no one wanted to leave.

Incroyable !

Quand j'ai vu les photos et le petit film sur internet je me suis dit que ça n'était pas possible qu'une telle maison soit en location ! Et bien si : l'espace est incroyable, aucune pollution d'aucune sorte, ce qui donne un ciel étoilé comme on en voit peu...on est en pleine nature, et alors le bassin de nage, pour moi qui aime faire des longueurs... Et pour les enfants, c'est le paradis : ils peuvent s'ébattre sans risquer de déranger les voisins... Occupés toute la journée, le soir ils dorment comme des loirs... Une adresse à se repasser entre familles qui aiment la nature... Juan

Le total dépaysement pour les amoureux de la nature, le raffinement en plus

Accueil impeccable, tout est prévu ici pour le confort des vacanciers, y compris les plus jeunes... on peut se laisser aller au repos complet sans aucune nuisance ou au contraire pratiquer du sport, faire des randonnées, visiter la région : c'est la France comme on l'aime, magnifique et sans sophistication ostentatoire... Une adresse à confier à ses bons amis !

Une semaine formidable dans un petit coin de parad

Quel magnifique séjour nous avons passé dans cette splendide maison du Lubéron. Beaucoup de caractère, très bien décorée et bien située, cette maison est vraiment parfaite pour plusieurs couples avec enfants. Chaque chambre a sa propre salle de bain et toilettes et une décoration originale. Que dire de la piscine, immense, elle a été très appréciée des enfants qui y ont passé des heures. une aire de jeux en contre bas était aussi à leur disposition. La grande terrasse ombragée et son BBQ ont, quant à eux, fait le bonheur des adultes. Les propriétaires nous avait préparé un livret de recommandations (visites, restaurants, etc...) qui nous avons bien apprécié. Nous recommandons les ballades à cheval pour cavaliers débutants ou confirmés. Merci encore pour ce superbe séjour

Une magnifique maison dans le Parc du Luberon

Nous avons passé une superbe semaine dans cette magnifique maison du Lubéron. A notre arrivée, la maison était propre et correspondait bien à la description de l'annonce. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié: la décoration intérieure, la grande piscine pour s'amuser ou faire ses longueurs, les ballades autour de la propriété, le centre équestre à moins de 10 minutes, le BBQ taille XXL pour de nos grillades du midi, le livre d'accueil qui résume tous les conseils des propriétaires. Merci encore pour ces bons moments, nous recommandons cette maison !!

Just perfect!

We stayed in this beautiful property for 2 weeks and it was just pure delight. We were 9 adults and 4 kids ranging from 3 to 13 years old. Each room has a dedicated beautiful bathroom which is very practical. The property is lost in the middle of 50 hectares so except for the crickets, the sheeps, or a possible bark from the sheperd's dog there is not much that can disturb you! The house is very well taken care, it is decorated with much taste, and all was made available in the kitchen to accommodate for big dinner parties (a big plus for the brand new Weber Genesis barbecue!!). What we preferred: - hikes directly accessible from the house - Freddy & Geneviève (the property keepers) were so helpful, so nice, and always full of recommendations - the many villages to visit, the market in Apt - kayaking down the gorge du verdon (1,5 hour away) - looking for shooting stars from the hill above the house - and of course the hours spent in the gigantic pool! The restaurants recommended were all very special and we especially enjoyed the Sanglier Paresseux... The little guide with activities to do, restaurants to go to, info on the house came in very handy (just think about having also an english version so that english speakers can also enjoy all your comments). We will be back!!!!

Un coin de paradis dans le parc naturel du Luberon

Magnifique location, spacieuse, fonctionnelle, aménagée avec goût. La maison propre et très bien entretenue, correspond en tous points à la description. Superbe piscine dans un cadre idyllique. Accueil chaleureux de Freddy toujours disponible et efficace. Nous n'avons qu'une envie : revenir quelle que soit la saison ! En automne pour profiter des couleurs et des randonnées ; en hiver pour cocooner près de la cheminée et au printemps pour visiter cette merveilleuse région ! Club d'équitation à proximité pour les amateurs. Nous y reviendrons c'est certain !

un séjour formidable

Entre amis, nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans cette villa qui est spacieuse et décorée avec raffinement. Le domaine de plusieurs hectares est entretenu avec minutie, tout comme la piscine de 24m de long qui nous a permis de nous maintenir en forme. Le gardien à proximité, sait rester discret, et nous apporter de bons conseils pour des sorties.
