Lavender Bloom Saint-Martin-de-Castillon, Provence-Alps-French Riviera

Holiday Rental Description

Set amidst lavender fields and the rolling hills of the southern French countryside, wake up to the freshly fragranced air surrounding this magnificent setting in Provence. Ideally located in the heart of authentic Luberon, this Provincial country home is a dream come true for those seeking a true taste of rural France at its best. With easy country walks available from your front door and short driving distance to the nearby market towns, and an abundance of old French charm, a break here is like stepping into a carefully curated Pinterest board on the beauty of Provence.

Smell the lavender and feel the sun on your skin as you wander around the quintessentially Mediterranean gardens with a view overlooking the valley of the Luberon park and the Mourre Nègre. Down the cobbled stone steps, you'll find a hidden terrace that features a heated infinity swimming pool, lounge terrace and breathtaking vistas of the surrounding landscape.

Inside, the traditional country style 17th-century maison features seven large bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom making it an ideal spot for large families or groups of friends. The open living areas present plenty of space to enjoy as a group – as you'll find two kitchens, a piano, a ping pong table, petanque and board games.

For those travelling with children, the house also has a dormitory-style bedroom which allows up to eight children to spend unforgettable moments together in one large suite with its own bathroom and double shower.

Although the home is in the middle of the countryside and completely tranquil, all supermarkets and shops are located within just fifteen minutes from the town of Apt, where you'll find several spots to pick up the shopping (including Intermarché, Leclerc, Auchan and LIDL) as well as local stores offering regional fare at the independent butcher's, fruit and vegetables store and bakery.
