Inside Villa Lavande Ridaure Ansouis
Step through the front door and the character of this restored Provençal mas reveals itself immediately. The open-plan ground floor living area is anchored by a striking traditional fireplace crafted from local stone, its mantelpiece a reminder of centuries of warmth and gathering. Sunlight floods the space through wide French doors that open directly onto the terrace, framing panoramic views of the Luberon mountains and the surrounding vineyards. The living and dining areas flow seamlessly together, creating an inviting social space where guests can lounge on linen-upholstered sofas before moving to the dining table for a leisurely meal.
The fully equipped kitchen is a cook’s delight, finished with quality appliances and ample workspace for preparing fresh dishes using ingredients sourced from the local markets. Doors from the kitchen also lead outside, making it effortless to carry platters of charcuterie and chilled rosé to the al fresco dining area. Air conditioning throughout the property ensures cool comfort during the warmest Provençal afternoons.
Upstairs, three beautifully appointed bedrooms offer restful retreats. Each room is decorated in a palette of soft neutrals and earthy tones that honour the farmhouse’s heritage while delivering contemporary luxury. Fine linens dress the beds, and natural light pours through shuttered windows. With four bathrooms serving the property, morning routines are unhurried. The master suite enjoys its own private en-suite bathroom and views across the garden toward the distant hills, while the remaining bedrooms share generous, well-appointed bathrooms finished with stone tiles and modern fixtures.
Outdoor Spaces and Living
The grounds of Villa Lavande Ridaure Ansouis are where Provençal living reaches its finest expression. Landscaped gardens surround the property, with fragrant rosemary, olive trees, and climbing jasmine creating a sensory tapestry that changes with the seasons. The heated swimming pool sits at the heart of the garden, its turquoise water glinting under the southern sun. Loungers line the pool deck, positioned to capture the best of the mountain views that stretch across the Luberon valley.
A shaded terrace adjacent to the house serves as an outdoor dining room, complete with a barbecue for grilling fresh local produce under the stars. Whether you are enjoying a morning coffee while the mist lifts from the vineyards or sipping pastis as the golden light of evening settles over the landscape, this terrace is the soul of the property. The garden’s gentle borders give way to vine rows, reinforcing the sense that you are living within the very fabric of the Provençal countryside. For cycling enthusiasts, the quiet lanes around the estate provide routes through orchards, hamlets, and sunflower fields, while the terrain suits both casual rides and more ambitious excursions into the hills.

The medieval village of Ansouis is just 1.7 kilometres from the villa, reachable by a pleasant walk through the vineyards.
