Domaine de la Santonne - un Havre de Paix en Plein Luberon

The "Domaine de la Santonne" is exceptional: avant-garde chapel, 4 hectares divided into terraces bordered by dry stone walls, forest, river, cave, large terraces shaded by hundred-year-old trees with a breathtaking view of the Apt valley and the Mont Ventoux! Tranquility and serenity reign everywhere. Ideal for holidays, weddings and professional seminars.
EXTERIORS: The landscaped gardens extend over several levels of dry stone walls. The terraced fields, with the view of the Apt valley and the Mont-Ventoux, give a sense of both protection and spaciousness.
The estate is bordered by a green and generous forest, with various species.
Below the forest, a wide stream runs along the entire property. From the bastide, it is very refreshing to hear the water flowing. It is possible to swim there.
Numerous paths invite you to walk and explore the entire property.
Thanks to the shade of the hundred-year-old trees, you will not suffer from the summer heat. You can read, write, play, enjoy your aperitif or your coffee in the various spaces set up for this purpose under the majestic foliage. A 300 m2 terrace has been designed for all types of events: cocktails, weddings, birthday parties... Its fountain, its putti, its planters, its Anduze vases give it a discreet class. Its view of Apt and Mont-Ventoux will enchant you.
BASTIDE: Construction in the pure Provençal spirit. In the shade of the immense lime trees, oaks and hundred-year-old pines, which bring a welcome freshness and shelter for birds, the bastide with its blue shutters literally blends into the natural setting. It gives pride of place to minerals: its stone walls and round tile roof match in a chromatic range from pastel pink to the golden ochre of the Luberon earth.
On the south side, the large living room bathed in light gives visitors a view of the clearing, the forest and the upper field, which leads to the cave, through its large bay windows.
The exterior is a green extension of the living room, like a painting. The light walls, the large traditional fireplace and the distinguished furniture give the main room a warm atmosphere.
The library offers a wide choice of art, travel, cookery books, novels, comics... It is very intimate and you will enjoy enjoying a good whisky, while reading, sitting comfortably in this quiet place conducive to reflection!
The very bright kitchen has a view of the large terrace. It communicates with the back kitchen, the living room and the outside. Equipment: dishwasher, 4-burner gas hob, food processors, small fridge, large fridge-freezer, oven, microwave, raclette set, wok, dishes, cake pans, scales, etc. Crockery for 12 people.
The entrance room can be used as an office. The fibre internet connection, an office chair and a tablet will allow you to deal with your belongings efficiently.
Red room: bridal room! This spacious room is a skylight. Its large French window opening onto the tree-lined terrace, typical of Provençal properties, lets in a burst of light that is reflected on its exposed stone walls painted white and its gold mirrors. Next to this room is its private bathroom (shower, sink and toilet). Bed: width 160 cm, length 200 cm.
Golden bedroom: after a living room with piano, desk and library, the bedroom can be discovered, like a protective refuge. Its windows look out over olive trees on one side and a fig tree and the clearing on the other. This room shares its travertine bathroom (walk-in shower, washbasin and toilet) with the pink bedroom. Bed: width 140 cm, length 190 cm.
Pink room: located on the ground floor of the bastide, the very bright pink room enjoys a beautiful view of the terrace and the valley. There is a library with books for adults and children. This room shares its travertine bathroom (walk-in shower, sink and toilet) with the gold room. Bed: width 140 cm, length 190 cm.
Garden level: the common thread of this two-room apartment is the colour ochre, which recalls the chromatic universe of the ochre massif of Roussillon, a neighbouring village. The decoration is typical of old Provençal houses: terracotta tiles on the floor, exposed stones from local quarries, a stone bar and an old stone sink stack.
American kitchen and private bathroom (slipper bath, sink and toilet). One bedroom has a 160 cm wide bed and 200 cm long, the other is equipped with a trundle bed (2 x 90 cm, length 190 cm).
