Gite Rental for Holidays in Provence: Gites in South of France, holiday cottages in Provence

The accommodation at Domaine de la Loubiere comprises three separate houses. They can accommodate four, six or ten people respectively, or together, making an ideal location for a group/family of up to twenty. Each of the three houses have been lovingly restored by the owners to provide modern accommodation, whilst retaining the character and original features of the old buildings, with stone walls, beams and tiled floors. The interiors are furnished to a high standard with beautiful fabrics, comfortable furniture and good quality linen and towels.

Domaine de la Loubiere lies at the foothills of the Luberon Natural Park, surrounded by beautiful countryside, in the ten acre (4.5 hectare) grounds of the 16th century chateau. An ideal location for hiking, horse riding and mountain biking, it also offers the contrast of culture and history with its proximity to the beautiful city of Aix-en-Provence, just twenty minutes away. For artists there is endless inspiration with the vivid colours and wonderful natural light.

Guests at La Loubiere have their own fenced pool (39 ft x 20 ft/ 12m x 6.5m) with comfortable loungers to relax on (pool towels are provided). The area adjacent to the pool is partly shaded by trees with beautiful views of lavender, the surrounding countryside and the wild rosemary and thyme covered hills. It is also a perfect spot from which to enjoy the wonderful sunsets. The tennis court, which is set in the grounds of the chateau, has been resurfaced in 2008. Guests have unlimited access to the court.

The town of Pertuis is three miles/five kilometres from La Loubiere and offers a wide range of shops, from small family bakers to large supermarkets. The area is well served by restaurants, and there are numerous daily markets and vineyards where you can enjoy local produce.

The motorway is only a ten minute drive away, which gives easy access to coastal resorts such as Cassis, Marseille and the Camargue. Also, other famous cities such as Avignon and Arles and the impressive Gorges du Verdon. In contrast, close by are the famous villages of the Luberon, including Lourmarin, Cucuron, Bonnieux and La Tour d'Aigues, easily reached by meandering country routes.
