Recently Restored Auberge in Famous Provencal Village Saignon Vacation Rental by Owner Listing 11542

A View from the Terrace. On the left is an open view across the Valley.

 

Location: Saignon, Luberon Area, Provence, France, Europe (Marseille International Airport 65 mins; Nice 120 mins;)

Accommodations:  Village House, 2 Bedrooms, 2 Baths (Sleeps 4-5)

The Auberge is at the tranquil centre of an ancient hill top village which overlooks the wine growing Luberon valley. The house is bright and airy and is on three levels. The master bedroom and guest bedroom are on the top level with the master bedroom having an ensuite bathroom and the guest room an ensuite shower room. Both bedrooms have fans. On the next floor is a large and comfortable living room and down a few steps is the kitchen and dining area. The kitchen opens out on to a super terrace from which you can enjoy spectacular sunsets. The village has a great deal of character and history (chateaux ruins and churches, interesting architecture). There is an excellent bakery and a variety of small shops, most of which offer delicious snacks and there are also three delightful restaurants. Saignon is a five minute drive from the well-known town of Apt - good supermarkets, excellent wine shop, great Saturday morning market and a very fine municipal swimming pool.

The area is perfect for outdoor activities yet at the same time offers the comforts of a number of excellent restaurants and good proximity to the international airport in Marseille (65 minutes), the two hours 20 minutes TGV connection to Paris from Avignon (45 minutes drive) and the cultural centres of Aix (somewhat less than an hour's drive), Arles, Nimes, etc.

  • We just got back from staying at the Auberge Rocher and couldnt have been happier with the place, location and the town of Saignon. The local folks were amazing and we had alot of fun with them. The auberge is a perfect spot to see the Luberon from and is pleasantly cool on hot days. We highly recommend the location and the auberge (be sure to go to patissiere and say hi to Christine for us!!) Cheers Richard Purcell/Michele Duval and company

  • We have now stayed at the auberge twice, once during the christmas holiday season, more recently at the end of May. Both seasons were delightful. In December, the auberge was a cozy romantic perch with a beautiful view of the lights of Apt down below. In May, with the breezes and genet scents, a lovely place as well. Perfectly located close to, but not in, the busy town of Apt, so very convenient as a jumping off point to explore the Luberon. We couldn't be happier having discovered the auberge, and many thanks to Maura for helping with our arrangements. We'll be back. Shelley and George

  • We have just returned from a marvellous two weeks at L'Ancienne Auberge in the charming village of Saignon. This is a lovely, well appointed, and beautifully decorated house.One,that right away, made us feel truly "at home". The only drawback was that our time there was too short, and so we are looking forward to returning next year, hopefully this time for a month. We must mention that Maura Lane is a most attentive and caring host and it was a real pleasure to be her guests. Cheers and All the best!

  • My partner & I together with "The Mother-in-law" spent two fantastic weeks in Saignon.The Auberge was everything and more than we could have wished for. The location is great,centrally located,quiet with spectacular views.The local village people were so welcoming and very helpful.There is just so much on your doorstep. Our suggestion is, not to see everything, but to enjoy what you do see. Sit back,relax with a wine and just take it all in. Regards, Peter & Stephen in Perth, Western Australia

  • My wife and I, along with her parents, stayed at the Auberge for a week during our two and a half weeks in France in March '02. Maura, and her charming Hugh Grant-like son, have done a beautiful job with the property, especially the little details that make a stay so enjoyable. I would highly recommend anyone considering a stay in the area make this spot a top consideration. The website photos do little justice to the spectacular setting perched on a cliff overlooking Apt and the valley below. Don't worry about the tight corners on your drive up and back in Saignon, its well worth it. We will visit again. Chris.
