Along the front of the house is the gravelled terrace and below that is the lawned pool level. The view is out over open countryside to the Montagne Sainte-Victoire near Aix-en-Provence.
 |  |
The pool measures 10m x 5m (33 x 16ft) and has steps all along one end. It has a saltwater filtration system, so does not use chlorine, and is open from June to September (except by prior arrangement). For security there is an automatic sliding, rigid cover, as well as a lockable gate from the terrace. Around the pool are 6 sunloungers.

The pool house terrace with sails for shade.
The south-facing, gravelled terrace along the front of the house provides seating areas on comfortable garden furniture, and dining table under the shade of a pergola. Next to the dining table is a Weber gas barbecue.

Although in the village of Vaugines, the terrace and pool area are not overlooked, and there is nothing in the way of the far-reaching country views.

The Location
 |  |
Lourmarin with its Renaissance chateau and striking outline.
The villa is in the quaint little village of Vaugines, 5 minutes from both Lourmarin and Cucuron. Vaugines, with its cafe and little grocery store, is so unchanged and picturesque that it was used for filming 'Jean de Florette'.
The much-coveted village of Lourmarin is full of restaurants and cafes spilling onto the street. Lourmarin is one of the star villages of the Luberon, and is alive year-round, notably on Friday mornings when it hosts a wonderful market.
Cucuron is a great Provence village, combining 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 every Tuesday morning.
The location is ideal for both the north and south Luberons. To the north you are 20-30 minutes from other celebrated hill-top villages of the Luberon, like Gordes, Roussillon, Lacoste, Menerbes, Goult, Oppede le vieux, etc. And to the south are more idyllic Luberon villages like Cadenet and Ansouis - less visited but equally picturesque.
Within 45-90 minutes are the splendid Provence cities of Aix-en-Provence, Avignon, Arles, St Remy, Tarascon, Orange, Nimes, as well as the Camargue, Marseille, and the Rhone wine trail. The French Riviera is 2 hours away and you can be swimming in the sea in less than 90 minutes.

Fantastic!
We had a fantastic stay at the house. Amy and Christel were great to work with and the house simply beautiful. The location is perfect for visit markets, hiking and exploring all that the Luberon has to offer. We greatly miss our daily lounge time on the terrace in the Provence sun. We will be back!

Beautiful Home
We were fortunate to be able to stay at this beautiful home during our vacation. My kids loved swimming in the pool. The open floor plan was very nice and the french doors open to a beautiful terrace. The home was walking distance to the small town and we picked up fresh baked goods every day for our meals. The kitchen was well equipped and we were able to make some great meals there. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property.
