Maison de Ville is located in the heart of the popular and beautiful hilltop village of Roussillon, close to the main square and the many restaurants, cafés, galleries and shops. All you need is just a short walk away.

This town house was built in 1849, in the typical architecture of the Luberon area. Perched on the village hilltop, guests have exceptional panoramic views of the unique ochre quarries and surrounding vineyards.

The interiors in Maison de Ville are inspired by the Provençal style and are warm and authentic. Central to the interior is the well equipped 'cathedral' ceiling kitchen and spacious living room with comfortable sofas and cool tiled floor. There are three double bedrooms, each with their own facilities and unique layout. Outside, there is a large terrace adorned with flowers, plants and trees, a covered dining area and small stone pool, perfect for cooling off at the end of a hot day whilst enjoying the wonderful views.

On your doorstep is the Luberon National Park for delightful views, forest 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. From here, try an exhilarating drive to the 12th century Cistercian Abbaye de Sénanque (14km) and its lavender fields - the monks still produce the herb-flavoured liqueur Sénancole! Antiquities and markets are abundant and infamous in L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue (26km) and the closest larger towns are Cavaillon, (26km), Apt (12km) and Avignon (56km) with its famous bridge and Palais des Papes.

Locality

Great Things to Do Near Maison de Ville

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.

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.

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.

Wine tasting

The local vignerons attend markets, and you are able to have a wine tasting there. We found some lovely local wines at the market and then followed this up by visting one of the many local vineyards where you are able to 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.

Visit the Luberon from the sky

Near Joucas, you will find Provence Montgolfière who organises balloon flights in one of the most beautiful parts of Provence.

On Sunday, get up early and go to L'Isle sur la Sorgue

where there is the most amazing market that goes on until lunchtime. Home to the most number of antique shops outside of Paris, Sundays see the streets filled with antique dealers selling their wares, as well as a fantastic Provençal market where you can buy everything from fresh fruit and olives to handmade soaps and artwork.

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.

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 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.

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.
