Location: Roussillon, Luberon Area, Provence, France, Europe (1 hr from Marseille airport, 30 mins from A7 motorway.)

Accommodations:  House, 3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths (Sleeps 6)

The house is right in the middle of one of the most famous villages in Provence - Roussillon. Famed for its oche cliffs and soil, it provides one of the most stunning backdrops to any rental house. While the house is only yards from cafes and restaurants, it offers total privacy and is beautifully quiet. There is free residents' parking just a few yards from the house.

The house is also a great place to stay in winter: log fires, beautiful walks in the winter sunshine, few tourists and so very quiet and peaceful. A fabulous Christmas vacation idea!

The three terraces offer a mixture of direct sun and partial shade and there are tables and chairs for outside eating on all three. The pool (closed during winter) is four and a half by three metres with no shallow end, but there is a ledge to stand on one end and a ladder at the other end.

The village has several cafes and restaurants ranging from simple meals to some very good cooking indeed. Russell Crowe in fact had a party in one of them, Le Simonde, while filming 'A Good Year' recently. Nearly all the restaurants have lovely views. There is a market in the village on Thursday mornings which has all the Provencal goodies you would expect!

Beyond the village there is the local town of Apt which has a fabulous market on Saturday mornings and there is a farmers' market in Coustellet on Sunday mornings. Other local villages worth visiting include Gordes, Bonnieux, Lacoste, Lourmarin and Menerbes. Further away to the east is Avignon, well worth a day trip and only 40 minutes away. To the north there is the mighty Mont Ventoux - the highest mountain in Provence, viewable from the village. The drive through Haut-Provence to get there is spectacular. To the south there is the Grand Luberon - well worth a day trip. Aix-en-Provence is the other side of the Luberon and should not be missed.

  • I can't say enough good things about this house, the town of Rousillon and the owners. The house is more beautiful than the pictures -- I would recomend it to anyone!

  • We absolutely loved the house as well as Roussillon! The people were lovely, the village was beautiful and safe and the house was very comfortable...we felt very at home there! The caretakers were sweet and helpful, and the owners were fabulous! Highly recommended!

  • Our stay--we were 5 adults-in the first week of May was delightful in all aspects. Weather was sunny and in the 70s F everyday. The house is wonderfully situated--just a few hundred feet from the gated residents' parking and the adjacent general parking area, where the Thursday market sets up. (The market is small enough not to be overwhelming and large enough to have ample choice.) Just another 100 feet or so away is the patisserie, for great breakfast croissants and a good selection of sandwiches for picnics. There's pizza right across the street and several restaurants are close by. Best of all is the house itself. The living room is large, with a wonderful fireplace for chilly evenings, the eat-in kitchen is comfortable, and the bedrooms are fine--especially the spacious master suite. The outside terraces make the house really special. We had lunch on the highest one, looking out over the village and the incredible ochre hills beyond. We had dinners on the more intimate lower terrace, just off the living room. The small pool--on yet another level--wasn't open in early May (we didn't need it), but its siting is amazing as well. And the owners could not have been more helpful, with almost instantaneous email and phone connections and a detailed guestbook with all kind of helpful information about the house and the region. Georgette and Loulou, as the owners' designated "go-to" locals, were terrific, ready to help with any question. Roussillon itself is magical--and especially inviting for those lucky enough to be able to stay right in the village. And don't miss the Ochre Walk: imagine a moonwalk with utterly fantastic shapes at every turn and colors ranging from light yellows to deep rose--as well as towering pines! Plus Roussillon is well situated, allowing access to almost any of the Petit Luberon perched villages in less than a half hour. We are definitely returning!!

  • We had a wonderful week at the end of September/early October. The plan was to do some local walking, and the weather was perfect for it – not too hot, just warm and pleasant. Roussillon is a beautiful village, and the house has stunning views. It is very well equipped and beautifully furnished. We had the best of everything with the temperatures in that we breakfasted outdoors every morning, walked in brilliant sunshine during the day, with an evening routine of an aperitif at one of the local bars near La Mairie, followed by either a local meal out or supper sat in front of the big open wood fire – great for falling asleep in front of! The holiday was everything we wanted it to be in a super location. We will certainly return.

  • We had a wonderful vacation in Roussillon that was made more enjoyable by our beautiful accomodations and the hospitality of the Rosens. The house was well-equipped with everything needed for making meals. Reserved parking 50 feet from the house was very convenient. We will stay here again the next time we visit Provence.

    My family and I would like to thank you for a fantastic holiday in your lovely home! The girls enjoyed the beautiful pool and swam virtually everyday. My husband and I enjoyed the gorgeous house, well stocked kitchen and numerous restful places to relax with a glass of wine and a book. We tried practically every restaurant in town and were never disappointed. The surrounding areas of Provence were wonderful to explore, but we could not wait to get home to your house most days. We took cooking classes, while our daughters had riding lessons. We loved the pizza place across the street and the fact that we could send our 8 year old out with a plate to fetch it. As I mentioned in the guest book, we were so thrilled with the decor of the house, we took pictures of every room and are trying to recreate it here in Virginia. Thank you again, everything was perfect and we hope to return very soon.

  • Delightful, well-appointed home in a charming Provencal village. The village is compact and totally safe -- my children wandered around without inhibition. The terrace in the David restaurant is a must for an evening meal as the sun is setting. Lots of other good restaurants in thre area -- I would particularly recommend L'Estellan in Les Imberts. All in all, a terrific vacation rental.
