About this property

Villa close to a picturesque village in 1.5 acres of private grounds

The villa is located in a quiet but not isolated position surrounded by local vineyards and only a 15/20 minute walk from the a picturesque village of Rognes. Unlike the villages in the Luberon, Rognes is more of a traditional village off the beaten track with fewer tourists. The property is ideal not only for families in the school holidays but also for those wanting a tranquil holidays out of high season. It is at the centre of so many attractions facilitating easy day trips before coming back to relax by the pool or on the terrace.

It is 19 km from Aix en Provence and situated only 10 minutes away from the Luberon National Park and approximately 1 hour or less from the Camargue, Arles, Nimes, Avignon, Gap, Gorge Verdon and the coast etc. Two attractions specifically for children are within a 20 minute drive, the Zoo de Barben and Le Village des Automates at Saint Cannat.

The villa is well equipped with TV (French channels only), wifi, DVD and video player, high chair, cot and steriliser. Fans are provided in each room as the villa does not have air conditioning. It is in enclosed grounds of approximately 1.5 acres that are strimmed but mainly left as a wild Provencal garden. All the villas nearby have similar sized plots so you are not on top of each other. It has an 'outside kitchen' on the terrace with a BBQ and sink. There is ample parking space including a car shelter for two cars.

The pool is private measuring 10mx5m. It is completely fenced with a safety gate. (However, please always supervise children and ensure that the gate is closed when the pool is not in use.)

It is easy to get to by air (Marseilles Airport with BA and EasyJet - 45 minutes), train (Aix TGV station 35 minutes/ Avignon TGV station 45 minutes) and road (nearest motorway junction at Senas 30 minutes away).

The village has a small supermarket, pharmacy, several bread shops, butcher and doctor. There is a market every Wednesday morning. The nearest town is Lambesc that contains three supermarkets and has a market on Tuesday and Fridays. There is a hyper market at Les Milles (20 mins drive) on the D9 just outside Aix.

About the host

Hosted by Kim Whitelaw

Host profile image
We, Peter and Kim, live in London and love spending time in Provence as it is the complete opposite of city life. Kim worked in Provence in her teens and was determined to buy a property there once she could afford it. We bought this villa with a view to spending more in the sun when we retire but also let it out when we are not around so others can spend holidays in this beautiful environment.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this property primarily because of its setting. It is surrounded by trees but is only a short walk to the village. We liked the fact that Rognes is a typically French village and is not full of designer shops and art galleries. If you want that, you can travel the 15 minutes into the Luberon where those types of villages are located, and then come home again! The villa amply caters for 8 people. It is a real pleasure to sit on the terrace under the sunshade whilst sipping wine from the local vineyards and gaze at the garden and swimming pool.

What makes this property unique

The peaceful setting combined with the convenience of being within an hour of so many tourist attractions for days out.
