The Experience

On the southern slopes of the Luberon, surrounded by exotic gardens and 20 acres of vines, lies this big renovated farmhouse. French windows open onto terraces, rooms are flooded with light, furnishings are comfortable but not precious. What with lawns, trees and towering bamboo (obscuring the discreet neighbour) you could happily stay put all day, playing pétanque and swimming laps in the huge pool.

Cooks will appreciate the amazing kitchen, with its Lacanche range, marble counters and long table. An elegant wrought-iron handrail sweeps you up to the second salon and four bedrooms (two en suite), all with lots of light and views. Beams are chunky, windows are shuttered, cotton sheets are crisp, all is very peaceful.

There are walking trails throughout the area and you can hire bikes locally. There are tennis courts (and a super little restaurant) at Grambois and wine tasting at nearby Château la Dorgonne in La Tour-d’Aigues.

Reviews

Prepare to be entranced by wide southerly views across vineyards and rolling hills to distant Mt Victoire. What a beautiful large pool, complete with children's paddling area. Shady trees, lavender beds and vineyards . The house is sun-filled and comfortably furnished without being overly precious - perfect for a relaxing family holiday. The perfect quiet rural place for holiday get-togethers.

Julia, Leeds

Fabulous family holiday at Le Sautaire. The house has everything you need from great swimming pool, well stocked kitchen and plenty of room for adults and children plus friends. We had a wonderful holiday.


Charlotte, London

We loved the house - perfect for our family as lots of great space and areas to hang. Gorgeous garden! Thank you so much for a lovely stay.


Barbara, East Sussex

Beautiful location for large family accommodation. We were 6 adults and 2 children and there was plenty of space. The large pool was well used and we appreciated the three different areas with seating for eight inside and out.


Amy, Cambridgeshire

We - 4 adults and 4 children aged 5-8 – spent a wonderful week at Le Sautaire. The house is beautiful with vast grounds, views in all directions and activity for every time of day. The pool is perfect for serious swimming, games or lounging in sun or shade. Cooking is enjoyable, a range cooker, a gas BBQ and ample space to chat to the chefs with drink in hand. Bedrooms are spacious. Shuttered windows kept out the high summer heat. The location is unbeatable to explore this wonderful part of Provence. We would not hesitate to return to Le Sautaire or to recommend this fantastic house.


Location

The neighbourhood

You're only 3km from characterful Grambois; pick up the morning's baguettes or join the old boys at Café Dol for a coffee and pizza. Wander through the markets in lovely Lourmarin and La Tour-d'Aigues, walk along the Luberon, visit Aix-en-Provence and dine locally in Cadenet. Cucuron (15km) is a fascinating village with a weekly Tuesday market, restaurants and cafés.

Local points of interest from Jenny Sweeney

  • Throw open your bedroom shutters and see the outline of Cézanne’s Monte Sainte Victoire against a blue sky, looking across lawn, vines and wooded hills
  • Which market today? Buy vegetables, cheeses, saucisson, pottery, presents for home at the villages along the Luberon, a market for every day of the week.
  • Savour elegant Provencal food at Les Tilleuls, just ten-minutes’ walk away, matching the two Michelin star restaurants each 20 minutes’ drive away or choose from our list of recommended restaurants, at all prices.
  • Stroll through vineyards: learn about grapes and terroir at Chateau La Dourgonne, wander Chateau Lacoste’s sculpture park, finding sculptures in the woodland by Frank Gerhy, Andy Goldsworthy, Francoise Bourgeois and more – and enjoy the wine!
  • Children will love the space to run around in the garden, the large pool, with a baby pool for littles, table tennis, volley ball and boules, all available. The best ice cream parlour in the world is only a short drive away.
  • Relax - in sun or shade, lounge by the pool, find a quiet spot in the mature gardens, watch the sun set from the west terrace, see a sky full of stars.
