La Maison Bouquier

About this property

Framed by vineyards and softened by Provençal light, La Maison Bouquier is a delightful country home with panoramic views towards Mont Ventoux. This handsome, detached home sits gracefully within gardens where olive trees and lawns spill into stone terraces designed for long afternoons. It’s wonderful to be able to stroll to the local village for croissants, fresh bread and restaurants.

Inside the home, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with thoughtful touches of French country style. The kitchen is lovely with a Gaggenau range oven, central island and doors opening onto a covered terrace made for leisurely al-fresco meals. A spacious sitting room offers a calm retreat with a TV and DVD player. The main house accommodates four bedrooms, including a ground-floor double with its own small terrace and a first-floor en suite bedroom with super king-size double bed. Just across the main terrace, a charming garden house creates a self-contained sanctuary with its own living space, bathroom and upper-level bedroom, allowing La Maison Bouquier to sleep up to 10 guests.

Reached via steps, the heated swimming pool is bordered by sun loungers and olive trees whilst there are multiple spots across the garden perfect for dining, relaxing or simply watching the light shift across the landscape.

La Maison Bouquier is a 15-minute walk from the heart of Caromb, a characterful village offering all the essentials from a bakery and pizzeria to wine outlets and a picturesque square for morning coffee. Nearby, explore the historic charm of Le Barroux and Malaucène or head to Carpentras for its celebrated market and vibrant local life.

For families and groups seeking a beautiful base in the Vaucluse countryside, La Maison Bouquier promises a true sense of place in the heart of Provence.

Set along a pretty country lane just outside the charming village of Caromb, La Maison Bouquier enjoys a truly enviable setting in the heart of Provence. On the edge of the village near vineyards and views of gentle hills, this is an idyllic base for discovering the natural beauty and rich culture of the Vaucluse.

A 15 minute stroll along country lanes (no pavements) brings you to Caromb’s picturesque village square, around 1km away, where morning coffee can be enjoyed beneath the plane trees and daily essentials are at your fingertips, from a bakery and grocery stores to café-bars, a brasserie and pizzeria as well as local wine and olive oil producers.

Nearby, the vibrant market town of Carpentras (9.5km) offers a wider selection of shops, restaurants and one of the region’s best-loved traditional markets. The neighbouring village of Aubignan (9km) mirrors Caromb’s welcoming charm with excellent amenities, while Le Barroux (4km) and Malaucène (9km) boast superb dining and scenic hilltop settings, perfect for long lunches and golden-hour wanders.

Outdoor enthusiasts will be captivated by the area’s dramatic landscapes, including the craggy trails of the Dentelles de Montmirail, ideal for hiking among pines and limestone peaks. Just beyond lies the legendary Mont Ventoux, a mecca for keen cyclists and a breathtaking destination for walkers, accessed via nearby villages such as Bédoin (10km).

For cultural day trips, Orange (17km) and Avignon (38km) lie within easy reach. In Orange, marvel at the extraordinary Roman amphitheatre and sample Côtes-du-Rhône wines straight from the source. Meanwhile, Avignon tempts with its iconic half-bridge, majestic Pope’s Palace, boutique-lined cobbled streets and buzzing festival scene throughout the summer months.

From authentic village life to thrilling outdoor pursuits, wine-tasting and world-class cultural heritage, La Maison Bouquier’s location captures the very best of Provence.
