Our house’s unique location makes it the perfect gateway to Provence: it stands a short, scenic drive from Isle sur la Sorgue, the town famous for its vibrant antique market, and an olive milling stone’s roll from the Luberon National Park and its array of authentic hilltop villages where time stands still.
Provençal farmhouse set in 4 acres of landscaped grounds
We’ll tell you about the best hikes, picturesque roads winding through olive groves, historic and natural sites, all personally tried and tested. There are many ways to taste Provence; we will suggest bars where a glass of chilled rosé on a terrace overlooking Luberon is an experience and restaurants that serve simply delicious food made from locally grown ingredients.

Helping the Planet
Every year we invest in solutions that lower our carbon footprint and reduce the environmental impact of our activity.
Between 2019 and 2021 we implemented a full energy transition. Two heat pumps replaced the fuel-fired central heating. Water is now heated in two thermodynamic tanks. We have also installed 24 solar panels with a peak power output of 9 kW, which means +/- 60 kWh of electricity injected into our system on sunny days, enough to power the house, all appliances, air conditioning and the swimming pool: filtration and heat pump.
We went one step further in 2022 by swapping petrol for electric; our daily use vehicle is a fully electric one. 2 electric vehicle charging points have recently been installed, so that clients can charge their EVs using juice generated by the solar panels.
The only question being: what next?
Activities and places to visit
THE PROVENCE
From La Bastide des Amouriers you can easily reach all the destinations that make Provence the destination of your dreams.
Our house’s unique location makes it the perfect gateway to Provence: it’s a short, picturesque drive from Isle sur la Sorgue, a lively town famous for its vibrant antique market, and an olive milling stone’s roll from the Luberon National Park and its array of authentic villages. From La Bastide des Amouriers you can cruise down to Lacoste, up to Gordes or Lourmarin, Saignon and Ménerbes, where Peter Mayle wrote “A Year in Provence”. Spend an afternoon in Roussillon and admire its rusty ochre cliffs at sunset. Within half an hour you’ll reach a myriad of hidden and utterly charming Provençal jewels you’ll never want to leave.
Sophie & Uri
We met in London, fell in love and settled in Paris, Sophie’s native town. As is the case for many of us, corporate life had shown its tedious limitations and our children flew the nest.
Thus, we decided to put our hosting talents and culinary aspirations to the test; we chose to settle in Provence, where the weather suits our clothes.
