About this property

House with private pool near Gordes with stunning views of the Luberon

The sitting room is large with an open fireplace and vaulted ceiling. The 4
bedrooms are light and airy, fitted with ceiling fans. Two of which have en suite shower rooms. There is also a family shower room upstairs and a bathroom downstairs near the fourth bedroom.
The kitchen is modern and well equipped, with a table large enough for everyone to eat around. There is an additional covered dining room beside the terrace
The 10 metre pool is solar heated with ample sunbeds for everyone, which can be placed in full sun or in the shade.
There is a newly built sundeck completely hidden from view but with breathtaking sunset vistas

This area is full of unspoilt hill top villages to explore either by car, foot or on bicycle. Electric and mountain bikes can be rented from the many shops in the village.
If you would rather go on horse back there is horse trekking from an ecole d'equitation a few kilometres away.

Amazing Location, House Needs Work

I read the reviews of this property and was so excited to visit with my family. The location can’t be beat, it’s perfect for day trips around Provence and so close to Gordes. The house itself needs a lot of work - it’s poorly kept, felt very dingy (cobwebs in the shower; we had to keep our shoes on the floors were so dirty; ants were everywhere so had to use spray; toilets with black on the inside rim). We’ve stayed in European country houses before & understand they can be rustic, but this home needs some major TLC. The beds were comfortable, but the linens/towels need a refresh.

We'll be back, again!

Love this house. Our second time at this property. A lovely house with good accommodation and a lovely pool and terrace with a view to die for. We spent nearly 4 weeks there and loved every minute (even the two wet days). We had three sets of friends to stay whilst we were there and they loved it too.

Great house and location

A home away from home

We had a fantastic stay at this absolutely super property. The location was ideal to travel to near by villages and wineries. The view of the Luberon from the property was so tranquil. The aesthetics of the interior and exterior was so fitting for the location. The kitchen was very well equipped. Amanda was very responsive and helpful. Could not have asked for anything more to have made our stay more perfect. Thank you!!!

Excellent Stay

Truly enjoyed the location and accommodations at this secluded stone cottage located in an olive grove. Large and well-appointed kitchen, bright dining room and nicely furnished living room with speedy Wifi and many electrical outlets for our various devices. Plenty of comfortable beds and bathrooms. We particularly enjoyed outdoor dinners and use of the gas barbecue grill, and the view of the countryside from the patio and pool. The owner was very responsive to queries before and during our stay, and we truly appreciated her assistance. Would recommend to families looking for a peaceful stay in a lovely region.

A gem in Provence!

Our family of four adults spent three nights in Fontcaudette and we fell in love with everything about this wonderful home and property. On our arrival we picked cherries from a tree on the property and sat around the pool admiring the beautiful view! The village of Coustellet is a short drive and has everything one needs. We visited the local markets in Ménerbes and Ile Sur la Sorgue. One of the highlights of our stay was preparing dinners in Amanda’s large and well equipped kitchen and having late afternoon drinks on the patio. The house exceeded our expectations. Amanda was responsive and helpful from start to finish. We hope to return and highly recommend staying in this gorgeous home!

Our second stay here didn't disappoint - still a beautiful place

This year we stayed with three couples (last year there were 7 male cyclists in our group). So this property can cater for all needs! The weather was scorchio this year so the ceiling fans were an essential feature. As last year the location of the house made it ideal as a base for visiting all the beautiful villages of the Luberon and beyond. The supermarket in Coustellet is only 5 minute drive away so that is very convenient, the ideal source for great wine and beer! The good size pool got plenty of use of course as did the sunbeds. We really liked the dual outdoor eating options - a covered windowless building and a table in the shade of a lovely tree - so you can decide how Al fresco you feel! The kitchen is well equipped (apart from the lack of a microwave) and there are plenty of glasses for your preferred beverage. The living area is very comfy and stylish and the bedrooms are also perfectly sized for our needs. Of course the outstanding feature is the view across the valley to Menerbes so it's easy to find yourself sitting on the terrace with a glass of Rosé looking across to where you may well have dinner later that day! Very happy to recommend.

Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful

A spectacularly beautiful French villa with all the amenities. We had two couples and it was perfect (An ensuite in each of our rooms.) Perched on a small ridge, with an excellent pool, it was the perfect place to explore (e.g. Gordes) and relax. 6 stars!

Absolutely Perfect

In searching for a home to rent in the Luberon I kept returning to Fontcaudette. My expectations were high and Fontcaudette delivered over and over. It is a beautiful home, perfectly located and equipped with everything you could possibly need to have a relaxing vacation. The kitchen is fabulous....well stocked with equipment including an ice maker. We were a family of four adults spending our days at the various markets in the surrounding villages, sightseeing and coming home each afternoon to the fabulous pool. Dinners were served outside in the beautiful covered dining room. I can only hope we will return to Amanda's lovely retreat. Thank you Amanda.

6 "go mad" in Provence!

We hired this wonderful house as a base for 6 middle aged cyclists (but not "mamils" I hasten to add). Our mission; to climb Mont Ventoux and survive for dinner (we succeeded). The whole process of booking and communicating with the owner (Amanda) was totally trouble free - and all was as advertised and some! Beautiful property with stunning views across the Louberon Valley. The rooms and facilities were spot on and the pool was lovely and warm too. It was easy to find and only a short drive to a number of classic hill top Provencale towns - Menerbes, Gordes, Oppede le Vieux, Lacoste, Bonnieux - we rode through them all and then went back in the evenings for some very fine dining at not unreasonable cost! System U supermarket was only a 5 minute drive away and made stocking up on essentials simple. The covered outdoor dining area was a lovely touch too - shame we couldn't have stayed longer to utilise the BBQ though! Overall satisfaction was very high in our group with everyone asking where I found it and talking about coming back with their families. No doubt we will.

About the host

Hosted by Amanda Lakin

We live mainly in the country in Sussex. My husband is a production designer and Fireworks technician. He was responsible for the Queens Jubilee display . He was also winner of the Cannes fireworks.

I have several properties in the UK, which I manage.
My husband was trained as an architect and now has his own event production business

My parents built the house 40 years ago, as a holiday house and we have all spent time at the property every summer since.
Our children were brought up from babyhood with holidays at the house and now return with their own friends.

Why they chose this property

We inherited the property from my parents approximately 10 years ago. They built the house having fallen in love with the area while staying with friends.
They love the food and the beautiful mountain villages.

What makes this property unique

The house is very peaceful with modern amenities and very easy to manage with stone floors throughout. It is hidden from view of the neighbouring houses by the surrounding trees. There is over an acre of olive groves to explore.
