Restored old farm house with a lot of charm - let your soul go for a stroll

This charming home was the perfect location for exploring the Luberon. It was spacious and well-equipped and the pool and gardens were lovely.

We had a wonderful family vacation at Les Joumillons. There were 6 of us, including 4 grown up kids from 17-22yrs and the house and gardens had plenty of room for us all to spread out and have a bit of space. The kitchen is very well-appointed, which made eating-in a pleasure, but there are many restaurants within a short walk/cycle/drive too. It was incredibly hot during our stay and despite the thick stone walls, the bedrooms were tricky to keep cool, though I’m sure this is only an issue in the height of summer. The beds were comfortable however. The friendly housekeeper met us on arrival and showed us around. As others have noted, she only speaks French but we managed to communicate fine between my pigeon attempts at the language and gesture! And the owner is very responsive on email / messaging if you have any queries before or during your stay. We’d highly recommend this place - go ahead and book; you won’t regret it.

The house was as advertised although we didn’t realise there were so many internal stairs which meant we had to keep all eyes on our 15 month old granddaughter. Having said that, it was a brilliant house for everyone to spread out. Our daughter, son in law and two granddaughters under the age of 5 took the whole top floor which worked brilliantly for them. There were numerous places to eat. We ate every day outside in the courtyard and the garden and pool area were superb. Only a 10 minute walk up the hill into Villars. Brilliant place to base yourself to tour the many villages in the region and wine tasting. Only negative was that we bought a dvd for the grandchildren to watch for “quiet time” and the DVD player ate it. We contacted the housekeeper and she was going to return with a new machine in the morning. This was on day 2 and we didn’t hear from her before we left on day 6. Also she only speaks French so if you can’t speak French then checking in and learning about the house could be an issue. We had a brilliant time here.

The house was perfect for two families with older children or, as in our case, grownup children. There was so much space, in fact we felt we didn't do it justice. And the garden was another world! So many little areas to sit and contemplate the wonderful views. The location is within walking distance of Villars, with it's fabulous bakery, bar and restaurants, and easy drives to numerous beautiful villages.
