Superb Villa with 4 Suites in Haute-Provence

Experience this sumptuous villa ideally located just a 5-minute walk from the shops and restaurants of a charming village. Nestled in a landscaped park of 6000 m², this exceptional property immerses you in an authentically Provençal atmosphere from the moment you pass through the electric gate.
An Exceptional Park and Terrace

Leaving the village behind, the path leads upward toward the house, passing a double carport, and gradually unveils a spectacular view of the countryside. Just a few steps bring you to an expansive covered terrace that extends the living space outdoors, where two distinct areas set the stage for relaxation and enjoyment:

Outdoor Lounge Area 1: A garden seating area beneath the kitchen windows, ideal for savoring the fresh air and the aromatic scents of Provençal cuisine—thyme, chives, rosemary…

Outdoor Lounge Area 2: Two sofas arranged face-to-face extend the welcoming ambiance of the main living room, perfect for a nap in the shade or to admire the breathtaking sunsets over Haute-Provence.

Two large tables provide the setting for your meals: one in the shade for lunchtime, and another bathed in sunlight when the day softens, all set against an exceptional panorama of the countryside, lavender fields, and even the Alpes de Haute-Provence spread out over 180 degrees.
Refined and Comfortable Interiors

The carefully curated décor, featuring classic Provençal accents and high-quality materials, reflects the attention and care invested by the owners.

4 Private Suites: Four spacious suites offer each guest their own private retreat, ensuring comfort and tranquility—an ideal arrangement when traveling in a group.

Independent Studio: A sizeable studio with a kitchenette is available for those needing extra independence, whether it’s a teenager, a staff member, or an extra guest.

A Unique Venue for Astronomy Enthusiasts

Set within a park adorned with centuries-old olive trees, the villa lies in the heart of the village while offering complete privacy thanks to its elevated, dominant position on the heights of Saint Michel l'Observatoire. This privileged location has been chosen for decades by astronomers for its exceptional night skies. Several star observation domes located to the north of the village allow amateur enthusiasts to observe the heavens. In the summer, you can even listen to expert explanations while peering through a telescope at the stars.
Outdoor Leisure and Relaxation

The 11 m x 5 m swimming pool invites you to enjoy refreshing dips and water games, while partially covered sunbathing areas with pergolas provide a perfect setting to relax while keeping an eye on the children. Nearby, you will find:

8 Sun Loungers and an Outdoor Lounge: Perfect for basking in the sun or unwinding in the cool shade under the trees.

A Solar Shower: An ideal addition to extend your outdoor enjoyment before it’s time to return inside.

An Unforgettable Stay

With its exceptional quality, sumptuous comfort, and breathtaking surroundings, this villa offers a dream vacation retreat in France. Whether you’re seeking a peaceful escape, culinary delights, or a chance to indulge in astronomical wonders, your stay in Haute-Provence promises to be extraordinary. Like most of our guests, you will leave enchanted with an irresistible desire to return.

Experience the charm of a setting where tradition, elegance, and nature unite to create an unforgettable holiday.

Paradiesisch!

Alles wunderschön, intakt, gepflegt, ruhig, sonnig, grosszügig, im Überfluss vorhanden und gemütlich - ausser die beiden "Feldbetten" im Studio, da gäbe es noch Verbesserungspotential.

sejour de reve

Tout d'abord l'accueil amical de la personne chargée de veiller à tout accessible au moindre ennui. Très belle maison,décoration agréable très bien entretenue ainsi que la piscine.Un confort total. La vue très large est superbe. J'ai apprécié la proximité du village et sa petite épicerie bien pratique. L'amabilité des habitants du village. Beaucoup de sites et de monuments à découvrir. Bref, un endroit où l'on a envie de revenir. Bravo.

Great house with a view.

Lovely property well situated close to the village but still very private. Fantastic views and garden with olive trees. Comfortable bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms. Great amenities at your disposal. Merci à Gaëlle et sa fille Julia qui nous ont bien accueilli et étaient disponibles pour toutes questions ou soucis d'intendance. À recommander aux amoureux du calme et de ce coin de Provence que nous aimons tant. Les franco-britanniques. (11-19 Août 2018)

Superbe maison idéalement située

Nous savons passé 2 semaines en famille dans cette maison, prévu pour 8, nous étions que 4, c'était donc plus que parfait....Que du positif pour cette maison et notre séjour : Sa situation : À 1h de tout, elle se trouve à la frontière du Lubéron et du Verdon, à 1h d'Aix, des Gorges du Verdon, le village le plus loin à visiter se trouve également à 1h (Gordes) ou l'Isle sur la Sorgues, environ plus d'une dizaine de villages tous plus beaux les uns que les autres se trouvent dans ce rayon maximum d'1h, les premiers à environ 10mn. Juste à côté pour faire ses courses il y a le village typique de Forcalquier un marché superbe le lundi matin, 2 supermarchés dans la même ville. Son équipement : La maison est vraiment très propre, tout est impeccable, et très très bien équipée, notamment la cuisine et l'arrière cuisine, pour les chambres, elles sont grandes, très bons lits, salle bain idéale pour chaque chambre et dressing pour la suite parentale. Extérieurs : Piscine super grande, le coin transat est calme et abrité, terrasse très très agréable, il y a même un brumisateur qui court le long de la tonelle, et la vue est juste superbe. Ne pas hésiter à aller prendre l'apéro au village le soir, c'est à 5mn à pied et les prix sont 4 fois moins chers que sur la côte, très bonne pizzeria au feu de bois également à recommander. Bref un séjour idyllique, nous étions les premiers à louer cette maison, nous avons trouvé que nous avions eu de la chance de tomber sur cette petite pépite. Un grand merci à Gaelle pour son accueil, un dernier bon point la location se fait du dimanche au dimanche, parfait pour éviter les bouchons en été. Vraiment n'hésitez pas si vous voulez passer des vacances au calme dans cette superbe maison.
