Charmante maison de campagne du Luberon du XVIIIe siècle avec piscine entre Gordes et Roussillon

A lovely property set in the foothills of Provence. We were so pleased with this property. It offered a peaceful escape in the countryside with proximity to lots of attractions and charming villages. The house and summer kitchen were fully stocked, and the summer kitchen was more than we could have imagined, including a dishwasher, half-bath, fridge, etc.. We spent many hours cooking in the kitchen and relaxing poolside after trips to the local markets. The view from the house and pool was exceptional with the ochre hills of Rousillon centered in the distance flanked by olive groves and vineyards. Also, there were lots of walking trails accessible from the house which we found using All Trails. L’etoile proved to be the perfect home base for our time in the Luberon.

The house is really lovely, with beautiful views across to Roussillon. The place was very well equipped and had everything we needed. Stephen was a really helpful host and was always available to be contacted. Overall it was a great stay, thanks!

L'Etoile was a wonderful choice for a vacation in Provence and I can't recommend it highly enough. There was plenty of room --and bathroom facilities -- for the six of us , a huge, well-equipped kitchen and a barbecue in the pool house kitchen area for my Franco-American family who likes to cook. The house was spotless clean, has a cozy, family feel and is beautifully appointed. The winding stone staircase was stunning. You immediately feel at home. My grandson also found a playmate in the little grandson visiting next door. Steve responds immediately if any questions and has prepared a very complete and helpful guide to the house and the surrounding area, including a list of where the daily markets -- something not to miss in Provence -- are being held as well as many of the numerous sites and vineyards to visit in the region. All was excellent. I highly recommend this home for a memorable stay in one of the most beautiful parts of France. Nancy S.

This house is all that you would hope it would be! We stay in luxury homes all over the world and this was not a disappointment! Charming is the perfect word without calling the house small for a family of 5! We loved the house, the location, the nearby villages and markets....all a dreamy place to relax, read, and just be with each other! The beds were comfy, the decor was beautiful, the amenities were all that we needed. I would definitely return!

My family and I stayed at L'Etoile for one week in late June. This house is absolutely beautiful with breathtaking views of the surrounding areas. The home is immaculate and the photographs posted on the website really don't do the home justice. It was even more lovely than the photo's provided. I was concerned when I booked this home as I had never rented a villa through VRBO. The owner is honest and true to his word. He was overwhelmingly helpful, both before and during our stay. He cannot do enough to ensure that your stay at his home is wonderful. He provides a "hand book" prior to your arrival (via email) with a copy also at the home. This hand book proved to be immensely helpul, as it provides guidance regarding every aspect of the home and also regarding restaurants and suggestions regarding the surrounding areas. This was an amazing tool to have at our disposal as this was our first visit to this area. The home itself is amazing, but it is the summer kitchen that was the hit with my family. We had some wonderful dinners by the pool at night, under the stars. We purchased fresh fruits, vegatables, cheeses and olives at the local markets each day. (The "hand book" provides the location of the market for each day!) In the next town (Cousillant) we found our favorite pastry shop and butchers shop and purchased fresh pastries each day, bread and wonderful steaks, which we grilled at night. Wonderful memories, to say the least. Gordes and Rouissillion are little towns which are very close to this home. I had an amazing time shopping in these areas and purchased, amoung many other things, the most beautiful linens here. We also ate one of our best dinners at "Davids", a restaurant in Rouissillion. (Also within the hand book). I strolled into a local art gallery, struck up a conversation with the artist. who happens to be close friends with the owner! I have traveled with my family to many areas of the world and have stayed at beautiful hotels. I have previously rented expensive villas through other venues. This is a wonderful home in a breathtaking area. Do not hesitate to rent this home. You will not be disappointed. My family and I had a wonderful time and will always remember this summer vacation as one of our favorites. I would not hesitate to return and look forwad to doing so. Sincerely, Karen
