Bambou is situated at the entrance to the pretty hilltop village of Goult (400m) in the heart of the Luberon region of Provence. The four bedrooms and three bathrooms offer a wonderful haven to relax in the Provençal sunshine and the 5 minute walk into the village means a choice of restaurants and cafés are only ever just a stroll away.
The house is part of a small private Domaine of around eight recently built villas designed with a contemporary style and a quality finish. The interior is well thought out and tastefully decorated, with cool tiled floors and a wooden beamed ceiling adding to the appeal. Eating outside is a joy in the shade under the covered terrace and a well maintained garden surrounds the private pool, which is also heated outside of July and August.
The villa is in a residential area only 400 metres walk to the village where you’ll find weekly markets selling Provençal delights to tempt your taste buds as well as boutiques, a boulangerie and a small range of restaurants and cafés to suit most palates. Goult has well-restored buildings that seem to grow up out of the living rock as they are built from the same natural stone. The narrow lanes have stone walls in places where the solid rock creates arched doorways and vaulted passages. This hilltop village has superb views towards the Luberon hills and Bonnieux area and is quintessentially Provençal!
On your doorstep is the Luberon National Park for delightful views, woodland walks and forest activities as well as day trips to beautiful medieval villages such as Bonnieux, featured in Peter Mayle’s book ‘A Year in Provence’, Lacoste, Ménerbes and Lourmarin. Gordes (10km) is also worth a trip, clinging to the edge of a spur of Mont Ventoux, it boasts sandstone houses tumbling down narrow cobbled streets and a selection of markets and boutiques. Antiquities and antique markets are abundant and renowned in L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue (20km) and the closest larger towns are Cavaillon, (20km), Apt (15km) and Avignon (40km) with its famous bridge and Palais des Papes. Golf enthusiasts can play at the Provence Country Club in Saumane (22km).
