Mas Lavande Puymin Vaison: 5-Bedroom Provençal Farmhouse with Spa, Tennis Court & Mont

This exceptional luxury villa rental in Vaison la Romaine occupies a sun-drenched hillside in the heart of northern Provence, offering sweeping panoramas across the Rhône valley to the majestic peak of Mont Ventoux. Mas Lavande Puymin Vaison is a beautifully restored Provençal farmhouse where centuries of character meet contemporary comfort, providing an unforgettable retreat for up to ten guests across five generous bedrooms. From the moment you arrive along the private drive and take in the golden stone walls framed by lavender and olive trees, you sense that this is a property of rare distinction.

Inside Mas Lavande Puymin Vaison

Step through the heavy oak door and the cool, stone-floored interiors immediately set a tone of refined relaxation. The lower ground floor houses a spacious sitting room anchored by a woodburning stove, ideal for cooler Provençal evenings when the mistral sweeps through the valley. A large flat-screen television with international channels and a Sonos sound system make this a wonderful space for unwinding, while glazed doors open directly onto the western terrace where golden sunsets paint the sky each evening. Adjacent to the sitting room, a stylish dining area connects seamlessly to an al-fresco dining terrace, blurring the line between indoor and outdoor living in a way that feels entirely natural in this part of southern France.

Upstairs, the property unfolds across generous living spaces filled with natural light. Exposed stone walls, reclaimed timber beams, and terracotta floor tiles maintain an authentic Provençal aesthetic, while carefully chosen contemporary furnishings and crisp linens add a layer of modern luxury. Each of the five bedrooms has been individually designed with soft, earthy colour palettes, quality mattresses, and thoughtful touches such as blackout shutters and bedside reading lamps. Four well-appointed bathrooms serve the house, finished with natural stone, rainfall showers, and fluffy white towels. The kitchen is equipped to a high standard with modern appliances, ample worktop space, and everything needed to prepare meals using the outstanding local produce found at the nearby Provençal markets.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The south-facing grounds of Mas Lavande Puymin Vaison are nothing short of spectacular. A generous swimming pool sits on a sun-soaked terrace, surrounded by comfortable loungers and shaded parasols, with uninterrupted views stretching toward Mont Ventoux. Beyond the pool, mature gardens of cypress, rosemary, and lavender create pockets of privacy and fill the air with the unmistakable scent of Provence. A built-in barbecue area invites long, leisurely lunches under the open sky, while the western terrace provides the perfect stage for evening aperitifs as the sun descends behind the distant hills.

For the more active, a private tennis court offers spirited matches surrounded by countryside, and after the game, a dedicated spa and sauna area awaits for complete restoration. Children will find endless space to explore across the landscaped grounds, and private parking ensures convenience for those arriving by car. Every element of the exterior has been designed to celebrate the extraordinary climate and landscape of this luxury villa rental in Vaison la Romaine.
