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

The accommodation is set in the countryside, in the 4.5 hectares (10 acres) grounds of a 16th century château. Lying at the foothills of the Luberon Natural Park, close to the Durance River, this is an ideal base for hikers and mountain bikers to enjoy the spectacular countryside and wildlife, year round. For artists there is endless inspiration with the vivid colours and wonderful natural light. There are also horse riding facilities and fishing available only a few minutes away.

The town of Pertuis is 5 kms from La Loubière and has a wide range of shops, from small family bakers to large supermarkets. It is also well served for restaurants and has a large weekly market.

The A51 motorway is only 10 minutes drive away which gives easy access to other towns and villages in Provence. To the south, Aix-en-Provence, famous for art, culture and its thermal spa, is just a 20 minute drive, whilst famous villages in the Luberon, including Lourmarin, Bonnieux and Tour d’Aigues can easily be reached by meandering country routes.

Guests at La Loubière have their own fenced in pool (12 metres x 6 metres) with comfortable loungers to relax on. The surrounding terrace is partly shaded by trees with beautiful views to the surrounding hills and garrigue. It is also a perfect spot from which to enjoy the wonderful sunsets. Pool towels are provided.

There is also a tennis court in the grounds of the chateau which guests have unlimited access to. Baby sitting is available during the evenings on request.
