Tucked away in the heart of the beautiful Luberon region, and with views towards the medieval village of Caseneuve, Lavande is a stylish single storey villa designed with sensitivity to its surroundings. Constructed using local materials, it captures the charm of traditional Provençal architecture while offering the comfort of a modern home.

Thoughtfully considered, using high-quality stonework and exposed wooden beams the covered terrace is just the spot for a glass of something cold while soaking up the views. An open-plan kitchen, dining and living space strikes a perfect balance between rustic character and contemporary design, with a soft, neutral palette that complements the natural textures of the villa. The bright, spacious kitchen is ideal for concocting anything from a leisurely breakfast to a full evening meal, or simply preparing cocktails to enjoy on the patio after a day in the sun.

Lavande, which is all on one level, has four beautifully styled bedrooms, each designed with a calming colour scheme. Two benefit from their own en-suite facilities, while the remaining two share a shower room.

Outside, there’s plenty of space to unwind. You can relax in the generous, lavender scented grounds, or cool off in the enticing swimming pool (fenced for peace of mind with younger children). With table tennis, a traditional boules pit and wide grassy areas, it’s perfectly set up for relaxed family days and a bit of friendly competition.

Ideally located just a 20-minute drive from many of the Luberon’s most popular villages and attractions, Lavande offers the perfect base for families or couples seeking to explore the region while enjoying contemporary comfort. The hilltop village of Caseneuve is just 3.8km and has a restaurant. Apt is a vibrant market town just 8km drive with all amenities whilst Marseille airport is 1hr 30 mins drive for those flying.

  • *Pool heating included from May to October only.

Great Things to Do Near Lavande

A family cycle ride

If you have brought or rented bikes, why not cycle part of the Véloroute du Calavon, a former railway track which has been developed into a dedicated cycle path. Mostly flat, it is safe and easy for most abilities. It stretches between Apt and Cavaillon, with panoramic views of Luberon hilltop villages, lavender fields and orchards.

The villages of Oppède Le Vieux, Ménerbes and Lacoste

Set against a backdrop of craggy limestone hills, these restored three villages are extremely pretty and always bustling. You reach Oppède le Vieux on foot, leaving your car in the parking space below the village. Narrow pathways lead up to the 12th century castle at the very top of the steep rocky outcrop on which the village is built. The drive between Oppède and Ménerbes is lovely, with vineyards on either side. Wander the little streets of Ménerbes with its mixture of pastel coloured and stone houses, and pop in and out of the chic boutiques you will find there. The final village in the trio, Lacoste, is probably the most attractive, perhaps due to the fact that it is less restored than the others, and in part to the fabulous views it has over the valley. During the 18th century its castle was home to the Marquis de Sade.

Visit Roussillon

... home to rock formations, and the most vivid red hued soil you will have ever seen. The colours span the spectrum of reds, oranges and yellows and are truly amazing. The village itself is a delight to wander around with its arty shops and lovely cafés.

Visit Apt on a Saturday for the weekly market

or between April and October on a Tuesday morning too. Once you are stocked up on fresh fruit, bread, olives, have lunch in one of the many cafés.

Visit a lavender distillery

The Luberon is renowned for its lavender fields. If you would like to learn about how it is processed, you could visit the 'Les Agnels' distillery just outside of Apt. Guided tours are available in July and August.

A breath of fresh air!

Lovers of the great outdoors will feel spoilt - the Luberon is a magnificent region for walking and hiking, cycling, and spotting all sorts of flora and fauna.

Play a round of Golf

The 9-hole Golf des Ocres was opened in 2024 in lovely countryside near the village of Villars. Also within the 'Domaine des Hautes Garrigues' site is a restaurant and pro shop. 

Wine tasting

The local vignerons often attend markets, and offer tastings on the spot. Or you can visit a nearby vineyard directly to taste and purchase some fabulous wine at really competitive prices. Most of these wines are not imported into the UK, so it's great to see what else is out there.

Lourmarin, in the Grand Luberon,

is a very pretty village, dominated by its chateau. Visit the chateau or explore the narrow streets lined with art galleries, cafes, and craft shops. Try the local sweet snack called gibassier which is a sweet cookie made with olive oil, shaped like an oval leaf and about a foot long.

Have a day out in Avignon,

the capital of the Vaucluse. Head for the car park called 'Parking Palais des Papes'. This underground car park is underneath the Palais des Papes square and so when you surface, you greeted with an awe inspiring view of the Palais itself.

Drive along the country roads that go up and over the Plateau de Vaucluse

to Sault, famous for its lavender fields. Go at the beginning of July to see the area awash in the colour purple, or go on 15th August for the Fete de Lavande, held in Sault itself.

Walk through the ochre landscape

Accessed from Rustrel, the ‘Colorado Provençal’ is a range of hills and former ochre quarries crossed by well-marked footpaths. Look out for the ‘fairy chimneys’, a river of sand, and various other striking formations caused by the quarrying. Keep your camera at the ready, to take stunning pictures of the vivid hues and surreal landscape.
