The house
A village house in the heart of Oppède, with a garden, a pool and a roof that looks out over the Luberon.
A three-storey village house, lovingly renovated. For us, first of all. Here, everything invites you to slow down, savour and share. More than a holiday rental, a real home, for ten.

Questions
Questions we get asked
How do I book?
Choose your dates in the calendar and send us a request. We'll reply with a quote and payment details.
Do I need a car?
In the village, everything is within walking distance: bakery, restaurants, grocery. For Gordes, Ménerbes or the markets, a car is more practical.
Is the pool heated all year round?
It's heated until October. After that, it's fireplace season.
Is cleaning included?
Yes. On the last morning, you pack your bags, and that's it.
What if we need to cancel?
Cancellation is free up to 30 days before arrival. Between 30 and 7 days before, half of the stay is refunded. After that, there is no refund.
Is the house suitable for people with reduced mobility?
Not really: it's a three-storey village house, and all the bedrooms are upstairs.
1 pm. View from the roof.
