La Coquiere is a delightful 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom Provence holiday rental home positioned high up over the Luberon. The house is set amid the cherry orchards and olive groves of this particularly beautiful part of Provence. There are 4 acres of garden and pines in a very calm setting. The minimum rental period is 2 weeks. The view is outstanding - wide and far-reaching, taking in the hill-top villages of Roussillon, Bonnieux, Lacoste and Menerbes. The nearest village and morning baguette is 1 km away (0.6 miles) - Murs, another of the region's well-loved ancient hill-top villages, but less visited than the others. |

 |
| Views from the opposite ends of the front of the house, showing the different levels of the garden. |
 |
The swimming pool is down a level from the house, so that you cannot see it from the main patio level - it doesn't intrude on the view. The pool is 9m x 4m and has a security alarm to warn you if someone falls in. But we do impose an age limit of 13 years old for the house - unfortunately we cannot accept children under 13. |

Three
places to eat outside, all with a splendid view:
|
 |
 |
 |
| Main patio outside living room. | Deep shade plus gas BBQ | Poolhouse. |
| Inside |
 |
 |
The open living room and dining room (left) opening onto the patio give a feeling of spaciousness. In the living room is a baby grand piano in case you want to express yourself. There is a TV with DVD/video, and CNN. |
 |
 |
 |
| Master bedroom with view to the south, large bed, dressing room, bathroom with separate WC, and air conditioning. |
|
You don't have to share a bathroom at La Coquiere - there are 3 bedrooms each with their own bathroom, with shower. The master bedroom has a dressing room, and air conditioning, although this shouldn't be necessary - because of the altitude it gets cooler on summer nights (and there are no mosquitoes). The master bedroom has a 1.8m-wide bed (6ft), and the other bedrooms have two 90cm-wide single beds (3ft). |
 |
 |
 |
| Bedroom 2 has two single beds and ensuite bathroom with shower, and opens onto its own private patio. |
|
The
house is lived in outside the rental season by the owner and so it is
very well equipped, especially the kitchen which includes every food
preparation device you can think of (it even has a steam oven along
with a conventional oven).
|
 |
 |
| Very well equipped kitchen. | Book, movie and music library. |
| The owner is English,lives very close by, and is on hand in case of any difficulties or language problems. |
 |
 |
| Some of the 4-acre garden is planted and landscaped, and some is pines and grassland. |
|
There are 4 acres of garden and woods, featuring olive trees, santolina, irises, roses, lavender, rosemary - all the familiar colours and scents of Provence. There is plenty of parking behind the house. The house is at the end of a 100-yard path from the road (which is a quiet road). |
| About Murs... |
 |
 |
| Murs, one of the Luberon's charming hill-top villages. | Place de l'Eglise, where time stands still. |
|
The lovely village of Murs, 1km away, is officially one of the 'Most Beautiful Villages in France' and has yet to be 'discovered'. The village has a food shop with bakery, and a restaurant with bar. Murs is peaceful and picturesque, with some notable architecture dating back to the Middle Ages. It is 11km from Gordes, which is perhaps the biggest village of the Luberon. It is said that the painters chose Gordes and Roussillon, the writers chose Lourmarin, and the wise chose Murs, and have kept quiet about it. |
Over the rooftops of Murs, surrounded by open countryside. |
