About this property

Walking distance to village, fast Optic Fibre Wifi, stunning location & Pool

The Olive Garden is a “home away from home” in Provence. Comfortably accommodating 10 people, the house is full of charm and intimate spaces. Located in the foothills of the famous Mont Ventoux, it sits nestled at the end of an Impasse between the picturesque local village of Caromb and outstanding National Forest.

It is a perfect location for cycling and taking wine tours. Bike hire is available, please enquire.

A large wooden door opens into the enclosed garden and terraced area, with vines that cascade over a pergola and a host of olive trees, from which the house derives its name.
An entrance door leads into the kitchen where windows frame the garden beautifully, opening up to bring light and space from the garden into the house. This theme of light lies within all the rooms at The Olive Garden, with french doors and intimate terraces and balconies giving the house its magical quality.
The house floor space measures 235 sq mètres, with 2000sq mètres of enclosed garden.
The kitchen is fully equipped with a large gas range oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer and of course, a coffee machine!
Within the same open space is a dining table seating 10 people, enabling everyone to socialize together along side the chef.
The lounge leads off the kitchen with 3 sets of french doors leading out to the pool area and onto a secluded balcony terrace, strewn with roses and vines; an intimate setting for aperitifs or morning coffee. There is a beautiful wood burner in the fireplace for winter visits to Provence, very warm, cosy and atmospheric.
On the ground floor there is a double bedroom with large queen (140x 160cm) bed and french doors leading out to the pool area.
This bedroom has an en suite bathroom with walk in tiled shower, wash basin and w.c.
There is another ground floor double bedroom with king size (140x180cm) bed and double doors leading out into the main garden.
The central hallway houses an additional bathroom with walk in tiled shower, wash basin and w.c.
Upstairs is a bedroom with large queen (140x160cm) bed and beautiful Romeo and Juliet balcony overlooking the garden below. Anther intimate space to share and enjoy.
There are a further 2 bedrooms upstairs, one twin and one double and a family bathroom with a bath, W.C. and wash basin.
The pool (measuring 4m x 8 m) leads directly off the main lounge for easy access. It has pool lights to create an atmospheric effect at night. There is a BBQ area and abri for shade. There are several sun loungers with cushions and chairs and tables for eating alfresco.
A few steps down from the walled in pool area is the garden, fully enclosed and hosting a variety of fruit trees and olive trees. It is very safe and picturesque with another large eating terrace and BBQ.
The village of Caromb is a pleasant 10 minute walk down a quiet residential road. It is old and full of character, a medieval french town, with a central church and a winding labrynth of cobbled streets, archways and staircases to keep you guessing where the various bakeries are hidden. There is a fresh food market on a Tuesday, a variety of cafes and restaurants including a newly opened haute cuisine restaurant and trendy wine bar!
Caromb is one of a handful of beautiful hilltop villages that lie in the foothills of Mont Ventoux. It is an exquisite area of Provence, filled with character and charm. There are many walks that lead straight from the house into National Forest and the larger towns of Carpentras and Avignon are within easy reach.

Great place
We were two families with together 5 teens and we had a fantastic time in this house. There was space for everyone, we enjoyed cooking in the big kitchen and eating at the large table in the garden. It was perfect in all respects.

Geweldig familiehuis
Met drie generaties verbleven wij in "the olive garden" waarbij het zwembad "een must" is gebleken tijdens de hete dagen: top! Het huis biedt ruimte voor gezamenlijk aan tafel zowel binnen als buiten maar ook voldoende ruimte om op te kunnen splitsen. We waren verrast door wat allemaal aanwezig was in het huis. Lekker in het dorp naar de markt geweest en meermaals koffie op terras gedronken. Een wijnproeverij: doen en restaurant "Geraldinette" een dikke aanrader. Dankjewel "Olive Garden" en Audrey voor deze geweldige vakantie

About the host

Hosted by Audrey Jakobsen

Host profile image
Peter and Audrey bought The Olive Garden in 2005 as a business from their friends, Maddy and Richard Ford. The house already had the magic "Maddie touch" when we took it on, with beautiful limestone floors and large window doors to the outside. The house is very special owing to its incredible location and sense of light and space, creating intimate spaces and a warmth of character. We fell in love with it and have allowed other people to do the same from renting it out over many years.

Why they chose this property

Location, location, location is key and The Olive Garden shines above many other properties in this department. Backing on to National Forest, the house is nestled amongst stunning scenery with the back drop of the Ventoux right on its doorstep. Yet at the same time it is within easy walking distance of the local village of Caromb with all its exquisite foodie shops and amenities, cafe's and restaurants. Caromb is a very serviceable town, offering everything you need, including one of the best butcher's in the area and a trendy haute cuisine restaurant and wine bar!

What makes this property unique

Location again is superb for setting off on a road or mountain bike to experience the Ventoux or any numerous roads in one of the best cycling areas in the world. The Olive Garden is a Spoke Venue which means it caters perfectly for cyclists looking to rent bikes, receive guided tours or any number of bike related services. Please ask the Owners, Audrey and Peter for more details.
