Charmerende, privat hus i Provence, 300 m fra landsbyen Lourmarin

Specialist doctor settled in a French overseas territory, I love many things. Travelling, sport, music, wine and gastronomy, decoration and art in general but more particularly contemporary art are activities that I try to share with my family and particularly with my children who live all around the world.
This house, where I grew up, is the centre of our meetings to enjoy life in family with its relaxation, fits of laughter, secrets, strolls around and in the village and all the pleasures of daily life too rarely enjoyed together.

I inherited it from my parents who had designed it with love and it is very rarely inhabited because of the professional activities and the dispersion of the family.
This house had to be lively all year round and the attraction of the region and the property allowed it.
So, 3 years ago when my mother died, I decided to renovate it, to extend it and to provide it with all modern conveniences so that me and my big family can spend quality time in a naturally quality setting.
The idea of sharing this very privileged place and offer these spaces (that have been designed and matured with the patina of time) to people wanting to stay here, emerged and developed.
With and architect and a decorator, we fitted the buildings to extract the quintessence and to preserve the charm of the old stones by adding contemporary materials and technology.
Thanks to the building of the fully integrated pool adjacent to the structure, in summer, you can enjoy this area without limits that creates a harmony but that also gives the opportunity to have privacy if you want.
The all year round employed gardener, pool technician, cleaning ladies and manager who coordinates the permanent improvement works and who takes care of the reception and concerns of the holiday-makers during their stay offer high quality and constant level of services all year round.
In this way, the money we collect thanks to the rental gives us the opportunity to maintain and improve the property every season and to have a well-maintained property no matter the period.
What a joy for me to stay here for a weekend inside the comfort and habits of these walls where I grew up and to enjoy the assets of the village.

1) Without a doubt, the hidden secluded location close to the village with views of the village and the château. This house is set against a natural rocky wall immersed in nature. Get your newspaper on foot or by bike, have a coffee at the village, go shopping and see all these Pagnolesque people who make transform life in Lourmarin a true privilege (forget the car and live quietly).
2) The design, comfort and functionality of the house are the second asset that I am not going to explain out of modesty and to keep the surprise.
3) Finally, the village of Lourmarin which reputation is already made with its conferences, concerts, libraries, château, markets, restaurants, bars and the many activities organised by the inhabitants and its representatives who want to perpetuate a tradition of politeness and conviviality make this village one of the most sough-after villages of Provence.
