About this property

Fabulous 7 bedroomed 18c property with Heated Pool and Walled Garden

Fantastic and spacious, very well equipped, luxurious and comfortable 18c property with 7 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. Walled and enclosed garden with heated swimming pool, surrounded by fields. Very child-friendly, and dog friendly (by permission only). Only 20 minutes from the Luberon and 20 minutes from Aix en Provence. A perfect location being so close to many cultural and historical places of interest.

Ferme du Val is located between two picturesque villages, St Cannat and Lambesc. The building dates from the 18th century, a traditional stone "mas" which was originally the main farm serving the nearby chateau. The house is situated in peaceful, open countryside, within 25 acres of grounds, but it's only a 5 minute drive to either St Cannat or Lambesc. Both the house and the heated pool are enclosed within a walled garden creating a secluded and very private and peaceful environment, ideal for small children and dogs. The grey/green shuttered house is flanked by large "platane" trees creating shady areas. All bedrooms have wonderful views out to the beautiful open countryside. It is a perfect location for a holiday.

The lawned gardens are on two levels, the lower with a large south facing terrace between the house and the pool. There are 2 options for outside dining: either by the edge of the pool underneath the shade of an arbour covered with vines – the grapes are edible! or there is a terrace situated behind the house, bordered with flowers and herbs, just outside one of the kitchens. The pool is 12m x 5m, heated, ozone treated, not chlorine, pool house with WC, shower and changing room, lots of sunbeds and parasols, and seating/dining areas. Large gas bbq.

The farm has been meticulously renovated and is full of many beautiful antiques and paintings whilst providing elegant, luxurious, spacious and comfortable accommodation with the benefits of fully equipped modern kitchens and bathrooms. There is WIFI throughout the house, and UK TV.

Furthermore the house lends itself very well to an out of season holiday with the benefits of full central heating throughout, and an open working fireplace. Ample garaging, bbq, table tennis and boules. The property sleeps 14 very comfortably however it is very suitable for any size group due to the layout of the house.

Ground floor: American style open kitchen/sitting room with dishwasher, microwave, etc plus sofas and open fireplace. Leading to cloakroom, and WC. Through to vaulted dining room. Arch through to large galleried hall with door leading off to another fully fitted kitchen and laundry room.

First floor: stairs leading to galleried library/reading area. Huge master bedroom with ensuite bathroom with shower, with 4 large windows overlooking the garden, stone stairway access to gardens. Two further double bedrooms overlooking the gardens. Bathroom with shower. Steps leading to shower room. Huge beamed sitting room with “office area” and panoramic views.

Second floor: spacious beamed twin bedroom plus 2 further double bedrooms (1 with 1 1.6m bed and 1 with a 1.5m bed). All rooms having magnificent views of countryside. Large bathroom with bath and shower. Steps leading to additional shower room.

Independent ground floor studio annex though attached to main house – sitting room with kitchenette leading to double bedroom with en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower. Sadly not wheelchair friendly due to the size of the doors.

This house also lends itself perfectly for families wishing to take a sabbatical in Provence as the International schools are only a 30 minute drive away. Available for long term and short term rentals.
You can even go skiing, only 2 hours away! It's a perfect location for all the amazing cultural and historical sites, including Aix en Provence, Avignon, Cassis, Gorges du Verdon etc. Marseille airport and Aix en Provence TGV are only 30 minutes' away. With walks direct from the house, and 2 villages only 5 minutes' drive away, it's in an ideal setting to have a relaxing and peaceful holiday or mini break/long weekend.

This property is available for rent throughout the year, including Easter, Christmas and New Year. Rates negotiable depending on time of year, length of stay etc.

Guardians live on site in a separate cottage to maintain the house, garden and the pool. Privacy and discretion assured.

Amazing place for a large group
Two families recreated a holiday together but now with grown up children. An amazing place to stay to relax and enjoy and unwind together. Lots of space to play games including the great pool. Lots of BBQs enjoyed in the beautiful outdoor dining spaces under the vines in the evening sunshine, as well as some outstanding nearby restaurants (La table du boucherie, Le L du Moulin, Dan B) and not forgetting a wine tour at Château Calavon. Lambesc market is a must. Housekeeping were very helpful and attended to any issues. Youcef also cooked us a great meal. Georgina helped us with travel plans when SNCF had issues and offered to help us with anything else we needed. Highly recommended to anyone.

Ferme du Valmousse July 2019
A great property for multiple families to holiday in. Great flexibility for sleeping diverse groups but also lots of spaces for people to gather or to find some personal quiet time. Our favourite was evening meals under the grapes at the end of the pool. The whole house was well equipped. The guardian's were available but completely unobtrusive.

Lovely week and good disabled access
This is a beautiful, historic, well equipped and maintained house set in the middle of the countryside. We happily walked to the picturesque local town (40 mins) most days and did a lot of very beautiful cycling, including Ventoux (about 1 hour away by car). Daniel, the on site caretaker, was a fabulous asset and who was discrete and unobtrusive, and who went out of his way to help us. He made sure that the house was accessible for a wheelchair with tailor made ramps. All the arrangements were smooth and without fuss. There were good dining spaces inside and out, and a great kitchen too. A lovely week for 14 people in considerable comfort and space.

everything we hoped for and so much more
We had very high expectations for our stay in Provence, and somehow our stay at Valmousse exceeded those expectations. It was truly like a dream that we never wanted to wake up from. We won't repeat everything the other reviews and the listing say about the place, except to confirm that all the good things are true. A few things that we would like to highlight based on our own experience: 1. The house somehow fits well for any group size. We are a family of four, and it did not feel overwhelming. At times during our stay we had many visitors (up to 17 at one time), and it all worked just fine (and we even felt like we had enough space to ourselves when needed). 2. Both the owners and the caretakers are delightful and conscientious people. It was a true pleasure to get to know them a bit. 3. The house has all kinds of interesting and beautiful touches, such as artwork and antiques. Very unusual for a rental property. 4. There are lovely, peaceful trails for walking and mountain biking starting from the property. 5. Lambesc has a surprising amount of commercial and leisure activities to offer. So while Valmousse is very much in the countryside, you don't have to go far to find what you need. For example, if you are into tennis, Lambesc has an outstanding and very active tennis club with seven courts. 6. For what it's worth, our family all agreed that the house has a very positive spirit to it, for lack of a better word. Some old places feel creepy, but Valmousse is the opposite--you can sense the timelessness and history, but it feels comfortable and welcoming. Enjoy!

Beautiful house
We had the most fantastic week here. The owner could not have been more helpful and the managers on site were brilliant. The house was clean, comfortable and very well maintained with a wonderful swimming pool.

I originally lived in London, working as an Office Manager but came to Provence on a sabbatical in 1999 and never left!

Why they chose this property

We walked through the gates and both said "wow"! It's got a very special ambiance, very spacious but still has a cosy and homey feel about it.

What makes this property unique

Lovely and quiet setting in the middle of the countryside yet not far to Aix en Provence and the International Schools and of course the excellent restaurants, shops and markets. Heated pool, walled garden, boules area, walking and cycling direct from the house.
