The Location
 |  |
The village of Cucuron, 2.5km away, offers many delights, from the medieval rooftops to the weekly market.
The house is in countryside 2.5km from the lovely village of Cucuron. Cucuron combines fantastic looks, medieval history and charm with all the amenities you need: bakeries, butchers, grocery store, bank, cafes and restaurants, and even a Michelin-starred restaurant (La Petite Maison).
At the centre of the village of Cucuron is its huge water basin surrounded by centuries-old plane trees, which you may remember from the film 'A Good Year'. This is where the weekly market takes place, and is also home to restaurants and cafes.
Cucuron is surrounded by vineyards and stunning Provence countryside, with the Luberon mountain on its north side. It is very close to other beautiful Luberon villages - Lourmarin, Bonnieux, Ansouis, Cadenet, La Tour d'Aigues - and 35 minutes from Aix en Provence to the south.
The villages of the northern Luberon are reached through the cut in the mountain from Lourmarin to Bonnieux, giving you access to Gordes, Roussillon, Lacoste, Menerbes, Goult, etc. as well as the pictureque towns of Isle sur la Sorgue and Fontaine de Vaucluse.
Marseille is the nearest international airport, 1 hour away.

Two other great villages within 15 minutes of the house: Lourmarin (left) and Ansouis (right).

Another amazing stay
We have had another amazing stay! We have been renting this villa for the past couple of years and every year we enjoy it more than the last. It is a beautiful villa done to a very high standard. Each bedroom has an en-suite bathroom which really allows for privacy when staying with a big group. The owners and caretakers are lovely and incredibly service-oriented; from helping with pre-arrival wine / other orders to restaurant recommendations and bookings to taxi arranging and more. They are incredibly knowledgeable of the area and have not let us down with recommendations for local wines, restaurants, attractions etc. I cant Recommend this house enough. We booked the same week for next year before we even left. We have also stayed at their other property in Cucuron (Les Vadons/Vallons) which is equally amazing. Cucuron is a charming little village in walking distance from both villas and has all of the amenities you need - great restaurants (including one with a Michelin star, supermarket, butcher, bakery, great wine shop and others). Thank you for a wonderful holiday!

A Lovely Family Holiday Home
This is the only villa we have ever returned to. The setting amongst the mountains, just shy of Cucuron village, and in the glorious fields of flowers is stunning. The house is well laid out and cosily furnished to accommodate a large family (like ours) and additional guests (we had both of our mothers). The housekeeping service is a bonus, and feels really indulgent. We spent so many wonderful days pottering around the garden, lounging by the pool, and using the alfresco dining area. A super house, in a beautiful setting. A truly memorable and happy holiday.

Our return
We have stayed in this villa for 3 years running. It is very comfortable, peaceful, well located and well equipped. It was, as usual, comprehensively cleaned for our arrival. We are a party of 11, with 5 children. The villa is very suitable for families, wth a good swimming pool, which can be heated, whcih has a large shallow area, perfect for children. In addition, the pool can be supervised from the kitchen. Any problems can be delt with by the very helpful managers,who live next door. We had none.
