The exterior is on different levels, each with a magnificent view. First, the level of the terrace that runs the entire length of the house, with the shaded dining table. In suite there are two levels of lawn, and the large swimming pool measuring 14m x 6m. The pool has steps and an infrared alarm. The depth is from 1.4 m to 2 m. At the edge of the pool is another place to eat under the shade of the pergola.

The garden extends over 5,000 m2, with lawn, olive trees, lavender, and a beautiful flowering. Beyond the garden, the landscape of Luberon extends, with an apricot orchard in the foreground, the Luberon mountain in the distance, and the perched village of Roussillon between the two.

The house has parking and a garage, and is 1.6 km from the village of Murs and 3.5 km from Joucas. Both villages have restaurants and food store.


- - - THE LOCATION - - -

In the hills between Joucas and Murs, 2 beautiful non-tourist villages, and near the town of Apt. The popular villages of the Luberon are 15-20 minutes - Gordes, Bonnieux, Menerbes, Roussillon, Goult, etc. It is the landscape of vineyards, lavender, olive trees, and perched villages - the dream of Provence!

Joucas is a laid-back and very pretty little perched village, topped by a 900-year-old fortress. After wandering around its medieval streets you can take in the wonderful view over a morning coffee or lunch from the simple bistro La Terrasse. For the sporty there are tennis courts as well as a playground for kiddies. And Joucas also has an ace up its sleeve for foodies – a Michelin-starred restaurant, Mas des Herbes Blanches, where the view matches the food.

This home is even larger and lovelier than the pictures show. We enjoyed our week and it was truly hard to leave. We particularly loved eating outside while enjoying the view over the Lubéron with total peace and quiet. The house is very well equipped so cooking was easy. (The WIFI is a bit slow and likely would be a challenge for multiple people wanting to work from the house but it was perfectly adequate for everyday needs.) We would happily come again!

La Rourette has met all our expectations and more. We were three families from Switzerland , USA and Canada and were looking for a house to spend one week together . The rooms are generous in size, very well equipped kitchen even for eleven people! The living room is magnificent with its large fireplace, library and grand piano. Every night after dinner at the large table outside we had the pleasure of playing the piano, a luxury on holiday! We hope to have another opportunity to return.

First of all the location of this house is extraordinary: You are quickly in the most known and beautiful villages, you have Apt quite close as a "bigger" city and you are in the middle of nature, but not totally lonely. The view from the house is superb. You feel so comfortable. There are a lot of places all over, where you can enjoy the day - having breakfast on the large terrace under the walnut tree, reading sessions along the pool, getting back on the terrace for lunch and having your "aperitive" on an old bank watching Saignon on the other side of the valley and greeting the "Mourre Nègre". It is very calm. You only hear the birds singing and the water of the pool murmuring. The house is designed and decorated of a mix of modern and antique furniture, which makes is cosy. All you need to prepare your dishes etc is there. If you have any questions, there is someone available by phone and if really necessary they can come on site too.

With another family we spent two glorious weeks in this marvellous house overlooking orchards and the valley. It is very conveniently located midway between Murs and Joucas and provides a wonderful base for trips to Gordes, Roussillon, Goult, Menerbes, Lacoste, Bonnieux, etc. The village of Joucas is itself very picturesque, has beautiful hill-top views and is well-positioned near a number of excellent walking tracks. After visiting busy villages in the Luberon on market days, it was always a delight to return to our house, a peaceful haven away from the tourists. Joucas has an epicerie "La Joucasienne" next to the bar "La Terrasse" and stocks a very good range of local food and wine. There is also a hotel "Hostellerie des Commandeurs" in the village which also has a bar. The hotel and bar make good coffee. La Rourette is a beautiful property with well-maintained gardens, expansive lawns and a very large swimming pool. The house is very well presented and is much grander inside than the photographs indicate. The kitchen and dining room are very well stocked with crockery, cutlery and kitchen utensils. A grand piano sits in the corner of the dining/family room. The house was usually cool enough (we were there in the middle of Summer) but does not have ceiling fans. When not eating inside at the large dining table, we ate under the almond tree on the terrace above the pool. The property was very clean and has three good bathrooms We would highly recommend this property and would have no hesitation returning. It was able to accommodate 10 of us easily.
