The Location
 |  |  |
Maubec is a beautiful medieval village in the Luberon natural park.
The house is right in the heart of the village of Maubec, a beautiful little village on a hilltop in the Luberon natural park. In Maubec is a restaurant with lovely summer terrace, a bar, two bakers, newspaper shop and a small grocery.
The Luberon's famous hill-top villages are all within 15 minutes: Gordes, Bonnieux, Roussillon, Lacoste, Menerbes, Oppede le vieux, etc. so this is an ideal base for exploration of everything the region has to offer.
Within an hour are the splendid towns of Avignon, Arles, St Remy, Tarascon, Orange, Aix-en-Provence, Nimes, as well as the Camargue, Marseille, and the Rhone wine trail. Even closer are Lourmarin, the antiques mecca of Isle sur la Sorgue, and Fontaine de Vaucluse, where the Sorgue river emerges fully formed from deep underground.
There is a market every day in a different village close by. The best for local produce is the farmer's market 5 minutes away in Coustellet on Sunday mornings (April-December). And there are wineries all around where you can taste their recent offerings and buy by the bottle or carfull.
