Stunning
Luberon farmhouse to rent in 'La Jauberte' is a beautifully restored 17th century farmhouse for vacation rentals, in the most beautiful part of the Luberon, just east of Apt. The house sits on the rim of a mountain between the lavender fields and the sky, with 18 acres of gardens, fields and woods to explore, and a pool with heavenly views. |

The house has fantastic views all around, from the Montagne de Lure, to the Luberon mountain, to the dramatic hill-top village of Viens 2 miles away. We call it the real Provence because this is not the Luberon where the tour buses come - La Jauberte is a few miles along the valley from the popular villages of Gordes, Menerbes and Roussillon. Here the hill-top villages of Viens, Caseneuve and Cereste are on the road less travelled, but no less delightful. |
| La Jauberte is a cultural experience in its own right, over 400 years old and full of character - time-worn stone floors, beamed ceilings, antique furniture - but also very comfortable, with modern appliances like high-speed internet, satellite TV, high-quality mattresses, and a chef's kitchen. There are 4 bedrooms sleeping 8, although one is a walkthrough bedroom so 6 adults and 2 children is a better configuration. Click here for more on the house. |

The gardens are arranged over different levels and are lovingly designed and planted - waves of vegetation give year-round interest, and you are encouraged to cut your own flowers for bouquets. Some of the scents you’ll experience: rosemary, lavender, santolina, wild thyme, artemisias and over 50 roses. There are several outside spots for eating and relaxing as the mood takes you: a balcony off the living room, a vine-shaded terrace below, various garden levels and trees to set out a table and chairs amid the glorious sights and fragrances, and generally live the good life.
