About this house rental

In the heart of the Luberon Natural Park, between the Vaucluse Mountains and the Provençal Colorado, the "Grande Bastide" manor has overlooked the valley for centuries.

Set in a four-hectare estate, the property is surrounded by gardens, vineyards, and an olive and fruit orchard.
It backs onto a wood of centuries-old oaks and pines.
It is a very peaceful and restful place.

La Grande Bastide de Rustrel is made up of 4 independent properties. The Maison du Maître is the largest residence on the estate and occupies the entire north-facing facade.
It is not overlooked by the other properties and has its own large terraces and direct access to the woods.

The 3 other rentals are also featured on Abritel:
- A house for 4, ref. Abritel: 1935717
- A house for 6, ref. Abritel: 1935718
- A house for 8, ref. Abritel: 2190618

It is also possible to rent the entire property via the Abritel listing 1939197. This is an ideal option for large groups (up to 35 people) wishing to spend holidays with family, friends or to organise events.

La Maison du Maître is a spacious, elegant and carefully furnished two-storey house with large Provençal terraces, woods and magnificent views over the landscape.
The stone walls are very thick, the house is naturally cool in the summer and comfortably heated during winter.
Surrounded by the colours and scents of the rose bushes, laurel and lavender, and by the song of the cicadas in season, you'll enjoy unforgettable meals or moments of relaxation.

The house comprises, on the ground floor :
- A fully equipped kitchen (+ fireplace) opening onto the terraces.
- A large dining room with a table for 10.
- A spacious lounge with fireplace, piano, armchairs and sofa bed.
- A large studio annex, with a 160cm x 200cm bed, a 90cm x 190cm bed and a sofa bed. The studio has its own kitchen, bathroom and separate WC.
- A large utility room with washing machine.
- WC.

First floor:
- Master bedroom, with a 180cm x 200cm bed, a large dressing room, bathroom and WC.
- "Pink" bedroom, with a 90cm x 200cm bed.
- "Green" bedroom, with a 140cm x 200cm bed, (Both Pink and Green bedrooms share a shower room and WC).
- Guest bedroom, with a 160cm x 200cm bed, a sofa bed, a shower room and WC.
(A total of one bathroom, 2 shower rooms and 3 WCs on the first floor).

All rooms are naturally lit at all times of day.

All the gardens, woods, the olive orchard and the swimming pool of La Grande Bastide are accessible to our guests only. Please respect the flora and fauna, as well as other potential residents.

From the pool (6m x 12m, secured) you have a magnificent view of the Vaucluse Mountains, the Luberon, the valley and the vineyards. The pool lining was completely renovated in 2024. The water is treated with magnesium salts, making it odourless and much gentler for your skin than conventional chlorine.
The pool is regularly cleaned and maintained by a specialised company. Sun loungers and a shower are available by the pool.

Access to the property is via an automated gate requiring a security code. The entrance road is flat and lined with trees and plants, leading directly to the private car park in front of the residence. The property is enclosed by a fence.

La Grande Bastide is close to many of Provence's historic sites, including Roussillon, Gordes, Sault, Forcalquier and Manosque. You can also reach Avignon, Aix en Provence, Cavaillon and Carpentras in an hour or less.

The region is very popular with walkers and cyclists. You can walk to the Colorado Provençal in less than 10 minutes and follow the many trails within it. You can also enjoy wonderful bike rides through vineyards and lavender fields (in season), and perhaps take on the legendary Tour de France routes up Mont Ventoux.

Many local markets are within easy reach. The famous Apt market, dating back to the 12th century, attracts crowds every Saturday to find local products. You'll also find local wine and olive oil producers.

Beautiful grounds with plenty of space for 3 couples all with a baby under 1. Well shaded pool area for us to enjoy. Our only challenge was with the cooling system. We stayed during a heatwave (hot during June) and the upstairs bedrooms never cooled down enough to avoid using a fan all night. Otherwise it was a wonderful option and very good value!

NOT Maison de Maitre
NOT Maison de Maitre
Difficulty in sorting which photos belong to which actual rental- there are atleast 3. I rented the most expensive and should have been the nicest, but it was not. I was embarrassed actually because my sister in law was coming for her first visit to France and this was not how it should be presented. We asked and were granted to move down to the Rosier which was much more provençal but this home was full of dust mites to which I am allergic. So we had to wash ALL of the serviettes and beddings. Also there was no internet at all and we needed this as we were also working. In the end (after she left) we had to move back to maison de maitre. The groundskeeper and his wife were wonderful and tried the best the could but it is a large property that really should have a lot more staff to keep it up properly. The stove in the kitchen has only one speed- HIGH. Dishwasher performs only sometimes. The Maison de Maitre is set up like an American boarding house and while the volumes of space exist, the dining and large common rooms are filled with disfunctional furnitures. More like a furniture dumping ground than an elegant volume. Lastly, there are MASSIVE cracks in the ceilings and walls around the place. In the large common room/living room the ceiling is cracked and peeling! More like a ruin really than a safe and wonderful home away.

Unos días maravillosos en familia
Unos días maravillosos en familia
Mi familia y yo (8 personas) hemos estado alojados 3 noches y la experiencia ha sido maravillosa. La casa es amplia, bonita, comoda y muy bien equipada. Unos de los motivos de escoger una casa tan grande era por tener independencia en los aseos y en este aspecto la casa es insuperable. Los espacios exteriores, la finca y la piscina son impresionantes. La comunicación con la anfitriona ha sido directa,respondiendo rapidamente a nuestras dudas y peticiones, Ojalá la vida nos permita volver a la Provenza y poder volver a alojarnos en Le Gran Bastide.
