This elegant 5-bedroom villa (440 sqm) is set in the heart of the golden triangle of the Luberon, in one of the most authentic places in the Luberon, in Lacoste. Excellent, luminous property, boasting a stunning 180° view. A few minutes from Ménerbes and Bonnieux, on the hillside but high enough to admire the changes in light over the valleys and gorges. The rose-coloured surroundings of the Luberon massif once inspired Van Gogh and Cezanne. The recently restored villa is surrounded by cherry and olive trees. Relax by the private swimming pool or challenge your family or friends on the petanque court.
Generous rooms inside the house with high ceilings that have been thoroughly refurbished but still keep traditional touches. The beautiful living room boasts designer furniture, modern artwork and a wonderful stone fireplace. The fully equipped kitchen offers two Gaggenau ovens, a dishwasher, a coffee machine, a microwave, a juicer and a cosy breakfast bar for lovely lazy mornings with coffee and croissants. The dining room opens onto the pool area and enjoys wonderful views of the vineyards beyond. While this rural villa benefits from plenty of space and room to relax and unwind in the pristine countryside, it is just over a kilometre from the charming village of Lacoste, famous for its cobbled streets and 11th-century castle.
The traditional stone house with bright whitewashed shutters greets you with a Mediterranean garden with lush greenery, cherry and olive trees and a fantastic view of the surrounding vineyards and the Luberon mountains. Several terraces around the house with seating welcome you to sit down and relax. Enjoy a good glass of wine in the lounge area with cushions and an umbrella, while the whole group will comfortably dine at the large dining table under the patio. A barbecue invites you to enjoy barbecue evenings together on warm summer nights. Unwind by the pool (13 × 5,5) under shady trees on sun loungers or in comfy rattan chairs. Those looking for more active holidays can play a game of boules or head to the nearby golf course.
The interior of the villa oozes the traditional charm of the old country house but has been carefully restored from the ground up and adorned with modern details. The designer furnishings create both an extravagant and cosy ambience. The centrepiece of the property is the open-plan living and dining area, adjacent to the large kitchen with a breakfast bar and access to the patio. The dining area opens into the beautiful living room with its open fireplace, furnished with designer furniture and modern works of art. An additional reading room with a stone fireplace provides extra opportunities for retreat. On the same level is 1 bedroom with a king-size/twin bed, access to the terrace, a separate bathroom, and a guest WC as well as a laundry room and a utility room with an additional fridge.
The first level houses four further bedrooms, each unique in style and designed with great attention to detail. Relax in the cosy king-size beds or refresh yourself in the contemporary bathrooms with shower and/or bathtub, three of which are en-suite, and one bathroom has a separate entrance. The master bedroom with an East view of the entrance courtyard and South Luberon has a desk, a large separate dressing room, a bathroom with a large shower and bathtub, double sinks and a separate toilet.
Another highlight of the villa is the separate TV room with a flat-screen TV, high ceilings with beams and a stone wall. From here you have direct access to the vast garden for a morning yoga session. The house is ideal for a relaxing getaway in the countryside with families or friends.
