This exceptional luxury villa rental in Oppède invites you into the heart of Provence, where centuries of history meet refined modern comfort on a sprawling five-acre estate draped in olive groves and vineyards. Mas Lavande Maubec Oppède is an 18th-century stone farmhouse that captures the very essence of the Luberon countryside, offering ten guests an immersive experience of southern French living. From the moment you step through the heavy wooden doors into cool, vaulted interiors, you sense the rare privilege of staying in a property where every detail has been thoughtfully preserved and elevated.

Inside Mas Lavande Maubec Oppède

The interiors of this remarkable mas reveal a harmonious blend of rustic Provençal character and contemporary elegance. On the main upper level, a generous living room anchored by an original stone fireplace serves as the social heart of the home. Tall windows frame views of the surrounding countryside, flooding the space with golden light that plays across terracotta floor tiles and exposed wooden ceiling beams. Comfortable linen-upholstered sofas and antique furniture create an atmosphere of effortless sophistication, while shelves lined with books and local art invite quiet evenings after long days of exploration.

The fully equipped kitchen occupies a vaulted stone room on the same level, offering everything a discerning cook could need. Thick wooden worktops, professional-grade appliances, and a large farmhouse table make meal preparation a pleasure, especially when local markets provide an abundance of fresh produce, artisan cheeses, and Luberon wines. Adjacent dining areas, both formal and casual, give you flexibility whether you are hosting an intimate dinner or a lively gathering for all ten guests.

Five beautifully appointed bedrooms are distributed across the property, providing privacy and comfort for families and groups alike. Two of these bedrooms feature flexible sleeping arrangements with single beds that can be configured as one large double upon request, making Mas Lavande Maubec Oppède supremely adaptable. Four well-appointed bathrooms serve the bedrooms, finished in natural stone and fitted with quality fixtures. The master suite enjoys its own private terrace overlooking the grounds, offering a secluded spot for morning coffee or evening contemplation beneath a canopy of stars.
