Mas de Cabrieres, Cabrieres d'Avignon, Provence

Grand 6-bedroom village house with pool in Cabrières d'Avignon

 
Front of the house from the walled garden Looking out from the kitchen

This grand old house has all the charm and beauty of a centuries-old Provence home, as well as a very pretty walled garden with pool, which is a surprise given its location right in the middle of a village - you can walk in under a minute to bakery, grocery and restaurant.



Living Rooms

Very cosy living room with arched ceilings. 

Mas de Cabrieres dates back to the 17th and 18th centuries and would have been built by the most important and wealthy family in the village. The bedrooms are unusually spacious, with high ceilings in the main house.

The main house has 4 bedrooms, and there are another 2 bedrooms and bathroom in a separate building across the courtyard.

 

Dining room is seldom used except in winter
Outside 'dining room' under the large plane tree

There is free high-speed internet. This is wireless too, but due to the thickness of the walls, it only works in the living room.

The kitchen opens onto the outside dining area





Bedrooms

There are 4 bedrooms in the main house, and two in the second house. All bedrooms have two 90cm-wide beds (3ft) which can be pushed together. The length is 2m (6'6") except in bedroom 4, where it is 1.9m (6'3").

 

Master bedroom with canopy bed and en suite bathroom.

There is an en suite bathroom for the master bedroom with bath and overhead shower.

Bedrooms 2, 3 and 4 in the main house share bathroom facilities consisting of a large bathroom with bath, a separate shower room, and a separate WC.

Garden & Pool

 

 

 

The garden is walled in and private, and surprisingly large for a village house. There is lawn, oleander and olive trees, a high plane tree giving shade to the dining area, and a pool measuring 9m x 4m (30x13ft). The wall is high and gives the feeling of a 'secret garden' in the middle of the village.

The pool has roman steps at one end and an alarm, in line with French pool regulations.

The outside dining table seats 12 and is by the kitchen.

The Location

Cabrieres d'Avignon has all the amenities of a small Provencal village, without the crowds.

The house is in the heart of Cabrieres d'Avignon, one of the less-visited and more authentic villages in the beautiful Luberon region. The honey-coloured centre of the village is self-sufficient with a small grocery store, a really good baker, a butcher, and a decent restaurant - Le Vieux Bistrot. Also very close is Coustellet with its shops, restaurants, and famous Sunday morning farmers' market.

Five minutes away is the better known village of Gordes, and it is a short drive to the other beautiful hill-top villages of the Luberon: Menerbes, Bonnieux, Lacoste, Roussillon, Oppede-le-vieux, etc.

Isle sur la Sorgue, the antiques capital of France is close by, as is the stunning Fontaine de Vaucluse, where the Sorgue emerges from the ground.

This is an ideal base for exploring further afield: Avignon, Arles, St Remy, Aix, Nimes, Pont du Gard, Gorges du Verdon, Les Baux, Marseille, the Camargue and the Cote d'Azur are all within easy reach.

There are hikes right from the door of the house exploring the surrounding countryside, or you can go by mountain bike. Village markets take place in a different village each day of the week.

The Luberon is the blessed plot of Provence characterised by vineyards, olive groves and fruit orchards, specked with perched villages, that held Peter Mayle in its thrall when he wrote A Year in Provence here. It is also where Russell Crowe inherited a vineyard in the movie A Good Year.
