Maison de Lauris France
Holiday Home Rental Description
Delicately and tastefully refurbished, Maison de Lauris is a stylish and modern home from home for your stay in the exquisite Luberon region.
There is a cosy open plan living area complete with a beautiful dining table, a relaxed seating area in front of the TV and a spectacular kitchen space, all complete with sophisticated décor. The kitchen offers high-end appliances, a breakfast bar and plenty of space for several chefs to prepare a Provençal feast.
There are three charming bedrooms decorated with soft colour pallets of hazel, cream and ivory complementing the bold prints and flagstone flooring. Alongside the bedrooms are two bathrooms, one featuring a romantic freestanding bathtub, the other with a distinct tribal design to add to the character to this delightful home.
Outside you will find a shaded terrace which overlooks the beautiful garden and private swimming pool for the summer months. This is the perfect spot for a bit of relaxation or an al-fresco meal on the terrace.
The beauty of Maison de Lauris is rivalled only by its unbeatable location, just off the road leading to an authentic Luberon village where one can visit its troglodyte caves and medieval castle, now a classified site. Highlights include visiting the modern art gallery or shopping alongside locals at the Monday morning market.
It’s also just over a five-minute drive to Lourmarin, one of France’s Plus Beaux Villages nestled in rolling vineyards, olive groves and almond trees. Wander around the winding streets, discover café terraces or pretty boutiques and admire the beautifully restored architecture and village atmosphere. On a Friday morning head to the village for market day where you can pick up some Provençal delights alongside pottery, fabrics and soaps.
Furthermore, the stunning castle of Rousillon, the incredible hillside town of Gordes with its postcard-picture Abbaye Notre-Dame de Sénanque, alongside a total of seven protected sites across the Luberon region, are all within a short drive of the villa. Maison de Lauris has a fantastic location, in a semi-residential area just off the road leading to a pretty Luberon village (1km), a couple of minutes by car or a 20-minute walk. It is less touristy than some of the Luberon’s other villages and has an authentic and lively village ambience where you will rub shoulders with locals at the Monday morning market and enjoy the cafes and restaurants nearby. The village has an interesting history seen through its troglodyte caves and medieval castle and there is also a modern art gallery open for visitors to see.
