La Jassine is a Provençal-style villa nestled at the base of the Luberon Mountain range in the Luberon Regional Nature Park. The property is set among the vineyards, olive groves, and fruit orchards of the countryside between the charming villages of Lourmarin and Vaugines.
La Jassine is a private, fully furnished, 3 bedroom villa with outstanding views of the Luberon Mountains and spectacular sunsets. La Jassine offers Provençal country living at its finest. Savour the tranquility of Provence in the teak lounges around the deck of the swimming pool, enjoy a game of tennis on the full-sized tennis court or simply relax in the hammock stretched between the oak trees. There is a field of cherry trees in front of La Jassine and an orchard of 30 fruit and olive trees on the one-acre property.
Interior Description
The kitchen of La Jassine is Provençal-style, with rustic oak cabinets, a terracotta countertop and a typical beamed ceiling. From the large kitchen window, there is a spectacular view of the mountains. The kitchen is fully equipped for aspiring chefs. The focal point of the open concept living/dining area is a typical Provençal fireplace with a high efficiency wood insert. French doors lead directly out onto the terrace. There is a TV with satellite receiver and a multitude of international channels, as well as DVD and VCR. The master bedroom features a teak bed with lovely Chinese headboard and large windows on two walls, offering views of the terrace and pool. The second bedroom has 2 single beds and the third bedroom has a double bed with a view of the tennis court. The airy, bright bathroom features a long vanity with 2 sinks and a beautiful tub with hand shower. There is also a separate shower room with sink.
From the living room, a magnificent sandstone staircase leads to the large, second- floor office/library. A huge, sliding picture window offers a breathtaking view of the Luberon Mountains. An antique desk in front of the window provides a wonderful place to enjoy the landscape while you catch up on your correspondence or begin working on that book you have always wanted to write. There is also a double bed, a couch, and a single daybed at one end of the large office area. There are English and French books, guide books, toys, games, and a Foosball/Baby Foot.
Exterior Description
A doorway leads from the second floor onto a terrace at the front of the villa that overlooks the Luberon Mountains. It is the ideal spot for watching the sunset while enjoying the local wine or for spectacular stargazing. The sheltered, southern exposure terrace off the living/dining room behind the house is the perfect place for breakfast or a romantic dinner. From the terrace, a few steps lead up to the pool and deck, bordered by a small garden. The full size tennis court overlooks the Luberon. A private road leads past the cherry orchard to this unique property, which enjoys complete privacy. In this beautiful country setting, you will enjoy the extraordinary light and colour of Provence that inspired Van Gogh and Cézanne. The distinctive sound of the cicadas (cigales) and the intoxicating perfumes of wild herbs will delight your senses.
The villa is located in a flourishing cultural region that offers a wide range of festivals. The sightseeing possibilities are endless, including the nearby castles of Lourmarin and Ansouis. The village of Lourmarin has been named one of France’s most beautiful villages. The villa is close to many fine restaurants, including the acclaimed Auberge La Fenière and the Moulin de Lourmarin.
La Jassine is a peaceful retreat with breathtaking natural beauty in the heart of Provence, where fine restaurants, fascinating historical sites, and outstanding entertainment are easily accessible. Your stay at La Jassine may be your most memorable vacations ever.

We had no trouble finding the keys and enjoyed our first swim. What a beautiful place! Exactly what we needed. We enjoyed spending the week in your beautiful house. Fourneis Family [Maryland, USA] The location is great, the view over the mountain is fantastic. Linden Family [London, UK] La Jassine is delightful, and will be just what we need to rest and rejuvinate! I walked to Lourmarin today and it was very exhilerating! We have also enjoyed the bikes, and the local wine and restaurants! Yesterday I had duck crusted with honey, garlic, and thyme, and it was amazing. I have had an excellent writing experience here and we have enjoyed every last minute. Thank you on all counts! We'd love a return visit someday--already dreaming of it! Brenna Family [Saskachewan, Canada] We had a good holiday in Provence, with lovely food, wine and weather. We had a lovely holiday and hope to return sometime. Clark Family [Hassocks, UK] Just to say we had a lovely week at La Jassine and I can’t believe that we have been home over a week already. It was lovely to feel the warm Provencal sun as London is a bit chilly and autumnal. Murray Family [London, UK] We arrived home from France on Sunday and enjoyed our stay at La Jassine; Lourmarin is a lovely village and we visited quite a few markets during the week. Wilson Family [Toronto, Canada] I am writing this from upstairs at sunset - just superb. La Jassine is a most interesting and peaceful place. We spent most of today relaxing here and wandering around Lourmarin, Vaugines and Cucuron. Naqui Family [Tasmania, Australia] We really enjoyed our week in this lovely part of Provence, finished off with a very enjoyable meal at Le Recre in the village. Northam Family [London, UK]

McDonnell Family [Suffolk, UK] Thanks very much for allowing us to use your house. We have enjoyed our holiday. Beaney Family [London, UK] We had a good time in Provence. You made us feel very welcome in many ways, and we are thankful for that. Aitkens Family [Randwick, Australia] We have now returned from La Jassine and had a wonderful week. We enjoyed being able to relax in the sunshine and have the benefit of the facilities. The house is in a beautiful position and is so quiet and private. All was well; we found it easily and had no problems. The area is very beautiful and the villages are interesting. It was really pleasant to share your home for a week and we would love to return sometime. I can see why you love it so much! Bray Family [Surrey, UK]

Dear Sandra, we are now here at La Jassine. The place is great, thanks again for letting us be here! We would like to thank you for the possibility of staying at you wonderful house and to have a great holiday in Provence. Everything was just like we planned and we hope that we can do this again in the near future. We had a great holiday in a great place. Melovain Family [Finland] We got back late Sat and were very sad to leave- you have a beautiful home, we were very lucky with the weather and the kids loved the seclusion - everything - the pool , tennis court and especially the hammock, was a hit. Was a good time in a great location. Noble Family [London UK] We all had a great time at La Jassine, playing lots of tennis, splashing around in the pool, playing scrabble and cards. It was useful as well to have the internet access. It was everything we were hoping for - The children won the tennis competition, Mum and Dad came last! We will certainly think of coming again if we need a restful week or so away, and have already recommended it to friends. Warricker Family [Bruseels Belgium] Thank you for everything…. We enjoyed it thoroughly; Now regarding renting in the future, a very close friend of mine may have an interest in renting the Villa Dynan Family [Dublin, Ireland] Everything else is going very well. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Every day the sun is out and lovely. Thank you for taking such good care of us. Coughtrey family [Vancouver, Canada] We had a good time in Provence and staying at La Jassine. Thank you for the use of your villa and I would hope to be in touch for a possible future rental. Many thanks and regards. Milne Family [London, UK]
