About this property
Only a short drive from the pretty village of Lacoste, Maison Zèbre is a delightful holiday home that invites guests to discover the beauty of the Luberon.
The open-plan living and dining space centres around a bright, welcoming lounge with doors opening out to the decked covered terrace for al-fresco meals overlooking the garden and swimming pool. The adjacent small kitchen is superbly equipped, whether you’re preparing a morning espresso or a leisurely lunch after stocking up at local village markets.
Maison Zèbre sleeps four guests across two inviting double bedrooms, each featuring a queen-size bed. Privacy is thoughtfully considered, with both bedrooms enjoying their own shower rooms. For added comfort, air-conditioning is available throughout.
Outside, the rhythm of Provençal life continues. The raised terrace offers a restful spot for summer dining, while the heated swimming pool provides a tempting place to unwind beneath the Provençal sun. Sun loungers and a comfortable outdoor seating area complete the effortless outdoor experience, whether you're sipping local rosé at dusk or enjoying a lazy afternoon swim.
Situated in the heart of the Luberon, Maison Zèbre sits perfectly positioned for exploring the region’s storied villages. Nearby Lacoste charms with its medieval heritage and cobbled lanes; Ménerbes enchants with vineyard views and artistic flair; and Bonnieux captivates with its hilltop vantage and panoramic scenery. From lively market mornings to relaxed afternoons beneath the plane trees, the area brims with Provençal authenticity.
For those dreaming of a restful escape infused with comfort and culture, Maison Zèbre offers a wonderful Provençal getaway.
In the heart of the Luberon, Maison Zèbre is set within its spacious garden, set just off the road leading to Lacoste. Marseille Provence Airport is just over an hour away or arrive by train into Gare d’Avignon TGV (46km).
With its cobbled lanes, ancient stone houses and breathtaking views across lavender fields and rolling hills, Lacoste (1km) invites you to slow down and savour the rhythm of rural French life. Once home to the notorious Marquis de Sade, its evocative château now hosts art installations by the Savannah College of Art and Design, blending history with contemporary creativity in the most poetic of settings. The village features a useful Proxi grocery store and a small handful of places to eat.
Just a short drive away lies Ménerbes (6km), a fortified village perched atop a rocky outcrop, beloved by artists and immortalised by Peter Mayle. Its elegant architecture, charming cafés, and small art galleries create an atmosphere that is effortlessly refined. Bonnieux (6km), with its sweeping views across the valley and striking 12th-century church, is a haven for food lovers and history buffs alike. Wind your way through its narrow lanes before pausing at a terrace restaurant to sample Provençal delights with vistas stretching as far as Mont Ventoux.
A constellation of other Luberon gems awaits discovery: Gordes (15km), a cascading village of honey-hued stone with its own abbey and vibrant Tuesday market; Goult (8km), quieter but no less beautiful, offering a more authentic taste of village life; and Lourmarin (18km), framed by olive groves and vineyards, home to a Renaissance château and a celebrated Friday market bursting with colour and flavour.
For those seeking activity, the Luberon’s natural beauty invites exploration. Follow scenic hiking trails through the region’s pine forests and ochre cliffs, or hire a bike to cycle between villages on country roads. Wine-lovers can indulge in tastings at family-run vineyards, while local markets, especially in the bustling town of Apt (16km), offer a cornucopia of regional produce, from artisan cheeses to aromatic herbs.
