SAVOR THE PROVENCAL LIFE...
The landscape and light of the south of France influenced and inspired some of the great painters; Van Gogh, Renoir,Matisse, Picasso and Cezanne.
The most beguiling of the Luberon's beautiful, ancient villages stand on high ground and are within 10-30 minutes drive; Gordes, Bonnieux, LaCoste, Menerbes, Saignon, Roussillon.
Discover the delights and pleasures of the local Provencal wines and visit a different local village market everyday featuring locally produced foods, flowers and crafts.
The region is home to some of France's finest restaurants. But perhaps the true glory of Provencal cuisine resides in the many small, family-run restaurants serving a prix-fixe menu with tasty fresh, locally produced ingredients.

Why the Owner Chose Roussillon
After traveling to many areas in France,
we felt that the Luberon Valley in Provence was our "paradise". And we found a lovely home that we could renovate to our tastes, and in a perfect location.
The Unique Benefits at this House
We love visiting the ancient hilltop villages and learning of their history. Each village has a market day filled with local produce, cheese, flowers, etc. Restaurants serve local specialities and wines.
Heart of the Luberon-Lively ochre colored hill top village with charming shops and restaurants and Thursday Market day.
Striking Luberon hilltop village featuring 11th century castle, trendy boutiques, and spectacular views of the Luberon and Ventoux mountains.
The BEST antique and flea market in the south of France. Gourmet restaurants with patios overhanging the trout filled Sorgue River. Great shops line the cobbled streets in the village. Sunday Market is a MUST!
Hilltop village with excellent restaurants and spectacular views of Mont Ventoux. Great local Friday market.

Superb Experience

Review Submitted: 08/13/11
The house itself is exquisite: an old farmhouse that has been completely renovated with every modern convenience, while still retaining the classic Provencal charm. The kitchen is magnificent; even the private chef arranged by the house manager was impressed with its appliances, layout and variety of cookware and servingware. The kitchen has counter space for two to have a meal or coffee, is adjacent to an indoor dining room that seats 8 comfortably, and to an outdoor terrace that also seats 8-10 comfortably. There is yet another dining area, on an upstairs covered terrace, that also seats 8-10 comfortably (in case it rains, which it did not). The furnishings and bedding are in excellent condition and are quite comfortable. There are two downstairs bedrooms (one accessible by a separate exterior entrance, the other beyond the kitchen), two upstairs bedrooms accessible by different sets of stairs, and an office with a very comfortable sleeper sofa. Each bedroom has a charming, fully modern bathroom. The house remained cool at night even without air conditioning, and was built so that opening a few windows even slightly produced a nice cooling breeze. The house is situated perfectly, in a tiny hamlet that hardly shows up on the map, but which is a very short drive to a number of beautiful hill towns (my 12 year-old daughter and I were able to ride the bikes at the house to several of the towns, and there are more challenging routes available as well, most of which have no or very little automobile traffic). As spectacular as the house and setting were, they were overshadowed by the owners and house manager (a transplanted American fluent in French). Well before we traveled, the owners provided us with a "housebook" containing everything from the days of the week that farmers' markets were open in each little surrounding town, to the best boulangeries and patisseries, to instructions for operating the washer, dryer and wifi (which worked very well). The house manager was completely unobtrusive -- we saw her only on check-in and check-out, but she assisted us with instructions for all the essentials at the house, provided a number of staples waiting for us on arrival (milk, cheese, amazing bread, tapenades, etc.), made dinner reservations for us, and was always available if we needed her. We had a wonderful stay, and even if the house had been only half as lovely, we would stay there again simply because the owners were a dream to deal with.

A Wonderful Week

This house is perfect for a large group as there are 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. We had a baby with us and 3 adult couples and the arrangement was great. The house is very clean, attractive and comfortable with a large modern kitchen and beautiful terrace for outside dining. Lovely landcaping and a salt water pool complete the scene. The property exudes Provencal charm. Enchanting! The house is in the country with expansive views, but near several towns with needed ammenities. Roussillon is close as are Goult and Gordes. The owners are very helpful in every way and a pleasure to deal with. Our family had a wonderful week and we would recommend this property wholeheartedly.
Recommended for:Sightseeing, girls getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children.

The home has a centuries old exterior and a bright, modern interior with every imaginable convenience. Of the many well-planned features of the home, the very private bedrooms, each with a private bathroom, has to rate an A+ for any families or couples spending time together.

Mas de la Perdrix is a dream! This is the place for those who want to immerse themselves in the French countryside, but don't want to give up the luxuries of a large, well-appointed kitchen, plenty of bathrooms and tasteful decor.
