Overview
La Grange Provençale is a pretty, unique property, perched on a hillside that has appeared in a number of design magazines and is utterly charming.
The living room enjoys double height aspect and is built into the rock that forms part of one wall. Its sofa arrangement is built into this cavernous space, decked with plenty of colourful cushions. The characterful living space is one of a kind and is open with the country kitchen off to one side and a mezzanine television den just above. It features an atmospheric fireplace and plenty of wrought iron, including stools that sit at the kitchen bar ensuring that the chefs in your group have company while they prepare a feast. With a beamed, sloping ceiling and exposed stonework as well as the rock, you will feel enveloped in a warm ambience. Doors open to the terrace, drowning the space in natural light. The kitchen is equally quaint and charming with lots of exposed stonework. It offers excellent appliances including Nespresso and filter coffee machines. It is a pleasant place to cook with a central dining table. Upstairs on the mezzanine level, above the kitchen, you will find two single day beds, a work desk and a television and DVD player. It is a useful space for children to play or chill out and also offers the opportunity for two extra sleeping spaces.
The home has four air-conditioned bedrooms sleeping eight guests. Two of them plus a bathroom are on the ground floor with the other two and a family bathroom upstairs. In keeping with the rest of the house, you will find lots of exposed stonework, mellow colour palettes and a romantic ambience. The first bedroom downstairs offers two single, wrought iron beds with canopies. The second room on the ground floor offers a beautifully dressed king size bed which opens to the front terrace. With grey tones, the bathroom boasts a shower, his and hers basins and a separate toilet. Both bedrooms upstairs offer twin beds and sloping beamed ceilings. The upstairs bathroom also offers a shower and double basins plus there is a separate toilet.
The living room opens to a terrace and lawn in front of the house. It is a lovely space where you can relax outside on lounge furniture. There are steps to the rest of the garden which is on a raised level. Here you will discover an alluring swimming pool which is fenced for safety. Here you can dine al fresco in the shade enjoying the spectacular views of the Dentelles de Montmirail hills and the Beaumes-de-Venise vineyards. It is an amazing spot. Cook up a feast nearby on the plancha which you can enjoy with some delicious local wines.
With magical views of the rich Provence countryside tapestry, La Grange Provençale is nestled in the hills just 3km from Beaumes-de-Venise. This ancient village is located on the ‘wine trail’, in the foothills of the Dentelles de Montmirail, protected from the Mistral wind and enjoying wonderfully mild weather. The village is surrounded by vineyards and olive groves and is particularly famous for its sweet Muscat wine, red wine and excellent olive oils. Guests arriving here can enjoy fantastic scenery, brilliant hiking, wine tasting and visits to many wonderful villages and towns in Provence. This picturesque village offers numerous charming restaurants and a colourful Tuesday morning market.

Location
About the surrounding area of La Grange ProvencaleLa Grange Provençale enjoys a peaceful setting near the village of Beaumes-de-Venise. Beaumes-de-Venise is very pretty with narrow lanes lined with restaurants serving delicious food and wines. There is a bustling market on Tuesday mornings where you can pick up some fresh produce for the house. The village sits in the Dentelles de Montmirail hills, a lovely part of Provence which is brilliant for hiking. The word ‘beaumes’ comes from the Provencal word ‘bauma’ which means cave. There are many caves in the surrounding hills that were inhabited during the Iron Age. The village is famous for its sweet Muscat de Beaumes-de-Venise wine and also its Côtes du Rhône Villages. The village is sprinkled with characterful old houses with beautifully restored doors. The ruins of a 12th century feudal castle sit at the highest point of the village. On the other side of the village, on the road to Vacqueyras, is the chapel of Notre-Dame d’Aubune. Its bell tower is a wonderful example of Romanesque art of the 9th century and its monastery is listed as a historical monument.
Avignon is approximately 35km from La Grange Provençale. In the early 1300’s, Avignon was the centre of the Roman Catholic world and was the seat of papal power. It has been left with an impressive legacy of architecture including the famous, World Heritage listed, palace known as the Palais des Papes. The town is also famous for its annual arts festival, the largest in France, which takes place in July. The town enjoys a magnificent medieval bridge, Pont St-Benezet, which is otherwise known as Pont d’Avignon. The bridge was completed in 1185 and is 900m long, linking Avignon with Villeneuve-les-Avignon. It was rebuilt several times before all but four of its twenty two spans were washed away in the 1600’s, leaving the far side marooned in the middle of the Rhone. There are wonderful views of the bridge from Rocher des Doms Park, Pont Edouard Daladier and Ile de la Barthelasse’s chemin des Berges.
During your stay, you should visit the village of Gordes (35km) in the Luberon region. It too enjoys a lively Tuesday morning market. With honey toned houses spiralling down from its splendid medieval castle, it is easy to see why Gordes is considered to be one of the most beautiful villages in Provence. With a wonderful selection of cafes, restaurants, ancient buildings, shops, bars and phenomenal views over the surrounding vineyards, orchards and mountains, you will be drawn to this magical village. In summer, the village hosts vibrant cultural events. There is plenty to visit nearby including the lavender photo opportunity, Sénanque Abbey, the Cellars of Saint Firmin Palace and its Church, Village des Bories, the Glass Museum of Bouillons, Calades, Saint James Bories, Cavaillon, L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue and Avignon.

Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesLa Grange Provençale is a delightful property for a family holiday. The local area is brilliant for families that love the outdoors with gorgeous walks nearby. The village is charming and children love heading in for some fresh bread and croissants for breakfast.
In Avignon, a little tourist train takes visitors to the main sights including the Palais des Papes, the famous bridge and the winding, pretty back streets of the Old City. There are also hop-on-hop-off buses that children enjoy or horse-drawn carriages. Children also enjoy river cruises, canoe trips or a boat shuttle across the Rhone to Barthelasses Island. On the island, there are beautiful views across to Avignon, a pony and horse riding club, bikes for hire, an Olympic size swimming pool and minigolf. The boat shuttle leaves just east of the Saint Benezet Bridge, better know as the famous Pont d’Avignon. Families can visit the Palais des Papes and pick up a HistoPad which offers a specially designed treasure hunt and games for children. Just above the Palais is Rocher des Dom, a lovely park with wonderful views, a pond with ducks and swans, play and picnic areas. There are several museums in Avignon that children enjoy, including The Musée Requien, a natural history museum. In summer, a giant ferris wheel is installed on the river bank and there is a carousel near the Palais des Papes. Children also enjoy picking up food in the covered food market. There are a number of annual festivals including the Festo Pitcho at Easter with a fancy dress parade, shows and performances.
The splendour of Roussillon should not be missed. There are so many shades of ochre to enjoys across this hillside village. It is bright and beautiful and children love wandering around the spiralling streets. At the top of the village there are amazing panoramic views across the valley to the Grand Luberon, the slopes of Mont Ventoux and the plateau of the Vaucluse.

Beautiful place
Very professional and friendly welcome. Beautiful place, atypical with a pool in natural colour. A house I highly recommend.

A great rental and we hope to return!
We stayed too short a time in this beautiful house. The quality is in line with the rental rate: kitchen equipment, beautiful bedding, air-conditioning works well, and a well maintained pool. A great rental and we hope to return! If you stay in this villa go see the nearby village of Seguret.
Don't miss out! Reserve now and get a full refund if you change your mind within 48hrs.
