Holiday rental in Saumane-de-Vaucluse, Vaucluse, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur

5 bedrooms | 3 bathrooms | sleeps 10

Introduction

On the edge of the Luberon and close to the Sorgue River, this wonderful Provençal farmhouse offers characterful yet high-end living in such a beautiful setting near Fontaine-de-Vaucluse.

Sleeping up to 10 guests, Villa Saumane has been renovated to such a lovely standard for guests seeking discerning charm and comfortable interiors. The elegant lounge opens out to the terrace and there is a gorgeous kitchen with a breakfast table overlooking the garden. The main part of the house is home to four bedrooms (three doubles and one twin), including one downstairs with an en suite shower room, whilst an attractive garden en suite annexe sleeps a further 2 guests with doors opening out to the pool area and summer kitchen.

The south-facing terrace is an idyllic spot for relaxing with a glass of AOC Luberon or dining al-fresco with loved ones overlooking the Vaucluse hills. You will no doubt spend hours in the glorious salt-water swimming pool – the pool area is gated, making it slightly easier if staying with youngsters. Enjoy poolside snacks and cold drinks by the summer kitchen before relaxing on one of the poolside sun loungers.

It’s lovely to be able to stroll to the Sorgue River for fly-fishing, canoeing and kayaking – just a little further by car is a tree-top activity centre (with trails for children as young as three) and the 18-hole Golf de Saumane. Meanwhile, the pretty villages of Lagnes and Fontaine-de-Vaucluse are within a 10-minute drive or there is a walking trail leading to both. Keen hikers and cyclists have a great choice of routes across this part of Provence.

A visit to L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue is a must, especially on a Sunday morning when the atmospheric brocante takes place, one of the most famous bric-à-brac markets in southern France. On any day of the week it is such a picturesque town for lunches by the riverside or a walk by the canals and waterwheels.

Venturing into the Luberon, some of the region’s iconic perched villages can be reached within a 20-minute drive such as Gordes, Ménerbes and Oppède le Vieux. Come across pretty markets, upmarket restaurants and some of the most glorious landscapes of southern France with vineyards, cherry orchards, ochre quarries, dense forest and lavender fields across the Luberon hills.

Location

This is such a beautiful setting within a lovely garden with views of the Vaucluse hills, set between the villages of Lagnes and Fontaine-de-Vaucluse and only 12km from the riverside town of L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue. Avignon Airport (23km), Marseille Airport (65km) and Gare d’Avignon TGV (33km) are all easily reached.

From your holiday home you can walk to the Sorgue River for canoeing/kayaking and fishing. There is a tree-top activity centre very close by on the other side of the Sorgue whilst the 18-hole Golf de Saumane is only five minutes away.

There is a lovely walking trail to both the villages of Lagnes and Fontaine-de-Vaucluse. Fontaine-de-Vaucluse (3km) is home to a bakery, little tourist shops, restaurants overlooking the river, a paper mill and other historic sights including the remains of the village’s old château. It’s a very popular village thanks to its picturesque riverside setting and hiking trails – head there early to avoid the summer crowds.

Meanwhile, Lagnes is a charming old village with a small handful of good restaurants including a highly regarded auberge, alongside the impressive Château de Lagnes. It is a very attractive village to potter around - stop off for a coffee or lunch.

Often referred to as the ‘Venice of Provence’, it is a joy to explore L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue (6km), the antique capital of France (outside Paris) with its famous Sunday morning brocante. As you stroll around the town look out for waterwheels, canals, atmospheric café terraces, several restaurants and the Notre-Dame des Anges church which hosts summer concerts and events.

Venturing further into the Luberon, pass vineyards, cherry orchards and dense forests as you drive to iconic perched villages such as Gordes, Ménerbes and Oppède le Vieux, all within a 20-minute drive. Admire the red-hued landscapes of the ochre quarries around Roussillon (26km) and Rustrel (42km), look out for authentic Provençal markets in villages such as Saint-Saturnin-lès-Apt and Goult, and visit the centuries-old Saturday morning market in Apt, the largest and one of the best in the Luberon.

Customer Reviews [22]

Mark
House was exactly as described
All the facilities were as you'd expect in a perfect family home. All high quality and every equipment you would need. The kitchen was very well stocked with equipment for a large family with an excellent cooker. The pool area was perfect and the grounds beautifully maintained.

Angela
Absolutely fabulous accommodation and facilities. Manager onsite was a diamond. We all had a wonderful 2 weeks and very sad to leave.

Nicholas
What a gorgeous place! We settled in quickly - a home from home in a lovely setting.

Edward
We had a great time. The villa was fantastic and just as described. The concierge Sarah was tremendous and did so much to make our stay enjoyable answering all our questions and arranging a caterer one night. The whole experience was really excellent and we would happily use Oliver's Travels and this villa again.

Jemma
We had the most wonderful time
Your beautiful home was everything promised and so much more. We had the most wonderful time. Everything worked so well and everyone had such fun. Sarah was lovely and looked after us very well.
We would very much like to take the Villa again – hopefully for longer next time – a week disappeared far too quickly!

Colette
One of our best holidays ever. We just wanted to thank you for such an amazing holiday in your beautiful home; it was indeed a wonderful stay - one of our best holidays ever, hands down. As well as the fantastic pool, the elegant interiors, and the lovely gardens, we really appreciated how well equipped the kitchen is. With several keen cooks, they were in their elements! Local walks were also a hit - thank you for all your recommendations.

Margret
Perfectly maintained We, our children and grandchild had a really great time at Villa Saumane . The house and the property with the large pool are perfectly maintained . The bedding is good quality and the kitchen facilities are perfect, too. The caretaker is fantastic.
The Villa is situated in a quiet area near the river Sorgue so we had a lot of opportunities for nice walks with our dog .
By car you are very close to the beautiful villages around .
So we fell in love with the Luberon and we will certainly come back again .

Vonn
We wholeheartedly recommend. We have had a fantastic week at Villa Saumane! What a great place, lovely house with heated swimming pool and spacious enclosed garden. The house is very well and attractively furnished, the kitchen really lacked nothing for our party of 10 people. The welcome from the housekeeper was heart-warming. Although we would prefer to keep this hidden gem a secret, we can wholeheartedly recommend the villa to other guests. A place to come back to again!

Petra
Perfect! The Mas is perfect for two couples and a single, especially as every room is as comfortable as the other. At the moment we stepped in we loved this treasure - it is really a gem. The kitchen is equipped well , we missed nothing. Garden and pool are well kept and the housekeeper is the right person to start a perfect staying!! Booking and service was as pleasant as usual. To cut it short: Perfect holidays - thank you!

Carol
We had a blast at your villa. Such a beautiful house! It was all above expectations! The pictures of your house do not reflect the beauty of it in real life. My husband and I loved the master room at the pool, such a great and relaxing space and decorated with so many good taste. Same applies to the other rooms, they were all very comfortable with good beds and lovely to see that the house is all decorated in Provence style. All the rooms were occupied by our 3 young adult sons and my mother, but we had not the feeling to bump into each other, there are so many areas to isolate. The pleasures were also in the small details, you have foreseen everything to have the perfect stay, from the sweetest bed linen to the lovely table service, with more than enough plates, salad bowls, the colorful pool towels, the very beautiful and well-maintained garden, etc, etc. The kitchen was also a pleasure to cook in, everything we needed was present. We brought our own kitchen knives from home as we love to cook, but even that was present :-)We were also positively surprised by the quality of the service included with the villa, everything was of a high standard. Thank you so much! There are so many ugly rental houses in France but yours is definitely not!

Marie-Therese
A dream come true! Your house is truly lovely, and I congratulate you on the light airy way in which you have furnished it, with a Provencal flair. The kitchen was so charming, particularly well arranged and well stocked; opening up the table with the additional leaf, we had our breakfasts there, and it was always a delightful way to start the day. The pool was a great hit, and the enclosure provided us with the necessary feeling of it being safe for the three little ones. Again I congratulate you, for this area is very well designed and laid out. However, it is the terrace outside that was my favourite part of the property, we had a series of fabulous dinners, and I shall remember it always with great joy... especially the moment I stepped out of the car to approach the house, and taking in the lawn, the roses and olive trees, and the marvellous backdrop of the vista before me, I entered the covered terrace and smiled... for it was a dream come true! My heart flutters to remember it now!

Julia
We had a fantastic week: the villa was superb and very functional. We who cook a lot loved the kitchen, extremely well equipped, a delight. The property is perfectly maintained and tastefully decorated. Special mention for the caretaker, available and responsive, a pearl. We rent every year in the area, we will be back! Thank you very much, we are delighted with your services!

Gisela and Edgar
We spend two wonderful weeks at Villa Saumane, our stay at the villa was perfect for all family members - we all felt very, very comfortable. The house is really thought of everything and the garden and the pool are great. The support by the caretaker was also very good, we are very satisfied and we are happy to come back and will gladly recommend the Villa Saumane!

Lucinda
Really great. The location was great. We weren’t able to make use of all the nearby activities as our children are still very young but we hope to do more of them next year. We thought the house was really well laid out, very well equipped kitchen, very clean. We thought the set up of the secured garden/pool area but then having the separate area outside the house to enjoy was great - and we loved eating all our meals on the terrace. Communication from the owners was good and the caretaker was very responsive.

Sandra
The house is very nicely furnished. The owners have very good taste. In the garden was good to have those old trees, to give enough shadow. We had a great time!

Super holiday! Villa Saumane was really nice and we enjoyed the time. Our kids also really liked it. The pool was super! Thanks!

Gary
The most wonderful time. Our family of 7 adults and a teenager had the most wonderful time at Villa Saumane. The property is set in beautiful grounds with a Provencal garden, a large orchard and big swimming pool. The home itself is exceptional, many large interior and exterior living and dining rooms and a kitchen straight from heaven (Smeg fridge, Lacanche cooker etc etc). The attention to quality with linen, cutlery and music systems makes the villa far superior to most. The villa is in the countryside but just 3 minutes from the nearest boulanger in beautiful Fontaine de Vaucluse, and just a little further to all the restaurants and markets of Provence.

We enjoyed our holidays in the Villa Saumane very much. The house was perfect and beautiful. We especially liked the gardens and the quiet of the area. The house and especially the kitchen are very well equipped, we did not miss anything. We will definitely come again!

Calm location with beautiful views. My wife and I stayed at this villa for a week in mid-June. The villa is nicely decorated and has a well equipped kitchen, nothing is missing. We stayed at the pool house which has a very nice bedroom and direct access to the large back garden and a little terrace for a romantic breakfast. The location is very calm with beautiful views, close to a lot of nice villages and 5 minutes from a golf course. The caretaker who welcomes you is fantastic. A great experience and we will come back!

We really enjoyed our stay at Villa Saumane. The house and the grounds are lovely. The house is very well equipped. The area is lovely with loads to do, from our point of view it was a perfect holiday, with the decision on whether to relax by the pool or visit one of the Beaux Villages being the biggest decision we had to make for the 3 weeks!
