Ideal for multi-generational vacations. The house has plenty of space to be together or to spread out for individual pass-times. Two of the six bedrooms are in the wing, emphasizing space and options. Furthermore, the living room, library, study, two terraces by the house, and another by the pool provide lots of room. There is both indoor dining in the dining room and outdoor dining in the courtyard behind the house with barbecue.

The setting is peaceful and protected. The hamlet beyond the courtyard feels like the Provence we knew before 'A Year in Provence' attracted all the attention. Even in high season (the Luberon valley is popular in summer), while close and accessible, the property is a getaway. It is frequently praised for 'feeling classically Provençale.' The house faces the Luberon and looks out over orchards, vineyards and fields. The pool sits beyond and below so it has privacy and doesn't interfere with activities around the house.

For fifteen years, in the fall and spring, Sarah Brown has run 'A Week In Provence,' a cultural and gastronomic program from the house. For this the house has a fully equipped kitchen, and guest amenities like wireless internet, cable TV, hair dryers, soaps, etc. Sarah lives in the hamlet and usually greets new guests with a glass of wine and a quick-start to the house and the region. She is a tremendous source of advice and tips. With her experience, she can point guests towards where they want to go and what they want to see in accordance with their interests. See more about Sarah and the house.

The property is also an ideal place to do nothing more than admire the view, an activity which never seems to get old. Visiting the nearby hill villages, Gordes, Roussillon, Bonnieux, Lacoste, Menerbes, Oppède is a lovely, easy activity. They tare less than fifteen minutes from the house. On foot, terrific walks or hikes go North, East, South and West from the house and provide tremendous panoramas along their routes. Nearly every day during the summer there are markets up and down the valley including a great farmers' market just three miles from the house, twice a week, in Coustellet which also has an exceptionally good bakery and a very very good (and recent) super market.
