Overview
With pretty shuttered windows, an al-fresco terrace under the plane trees and a swimming pool set in gardens dotted with olive trees, Les Deux Mas feels so typical of Provence in every way, just a short drive from the enchanting town of L'Isle-sur-Sorgue.
Set across two traditional farmhouses which have been joined together, Les Deux Mas offers spacious accommodation ideal for both families and friends. There are two living rooms, a wonderful family lounge with toys and games, a convivial kitchen-diner with doors leading out to the gardens and eight inviting bedrooms, all with glorious views of the surrounding gardens and Luberon landscapes beyond. The air-conditioned houses have been renovated beautifully, using carefully selected materials that pay great respect to the region’s heritage and soul.
Outside, enjoy al-fresco feasts in the shade of century-old trees, play tennis on your private court, picnic on the vast lawns and cool off from the summer sun in the swimming pool. This is Provençal living at its best across four hectares of landscaped gardens with towering pines, little stone walls, terracotta pots of summer colour and olive trees.
L'Isle-sur-Sorgue is such a joy to explore with its picturesque branches of the Sorgue river, riverside café terraces, ancient waterwheels and charming antique shops – don’t miss the Sunday morning farmers’ market and huge brocante.
You are perfectly positioned for exploring so much of Provence with timeless hilltop villages set amongst landscapes of vineyards, lavender fields, woodland and orchards – it’s also a paradise for walkers and cyclists across the Vaucluse plains, Luberon landscapes and mighty Mont Ventoux. Canoe or kayak along the river from Fontaine-de-Vaucluse or spend a day fishing for trout on the banks of the Sorgue.
Soak up the ambience at Luberon farmers’ markets in Gordes, Ménerbes or Apt, dine out in high-end restaurants, visit the wineries of the Rhône valley or admire the UNESCO World Heritage sites of Avignon in this gloriously contrasting part of Provence.

Location
About the surrounding area of Les Deux MasLes Deux Mas is set in beautiful grounds around 5km south of L'Isle-sur-Sorgue, a charming town in the Vaucluse department of Provence.
Like an island surrounded by branches of the Sorgue river, L'Isle-sur-Sorgue is sure to enchant you with its waterwheels, picturesque riverside restaurants and terraces, delightful antique shops and famous Sunday morning Provençal market and brocante. Canoe or kayak down the river from its source in Fontaine-de-Vaucluse or arrange a fishing permit for summer trout fishing. Look out for a number of festivities across the town including Corso Nautique, a magical water carnival in late July.
The archetypal villages of the Luberon are also within easy reach – Gordes and Ménerbes are both within a 20-minute drive or head a little further into this mesmerising region, passing landscapes of forests, vineyards and orchards, as far as Bonnieux, Lourmarin or the historic market town of Apt.
Wine-lovers can visit the wineries of the Luberon or drive further north towards Châteauneuf-du-Pape (40km) and the vineyards of the Rhône valley.
Admire the summer lavender fields close to Gordes, especially at Abbaye Notre-Dame de Sénanque, discover the lavender museum in nearby Coustellet or head further afield to the lavender farms and landscapes around Sault, just under an hour by car.
Keen cyclists can find a number of wonderful trails across the Vaucluse plains and Luberon or you could also challenge yourselves to the famous Tour de France routes around Mont Ventoux - the pretty village of Bédoin (40km), a mecca for cyclists, is a good place to start. Of course, there are also many stunning walking and hiking opportunities across this part of Provence.
For a more sedate day out, drive or catch the train to Avignon, home to two UNESCO World Heritage sites as well as many atmospheric markets, traditional wine bars and excellent restaurants.

Region
With some of the most enchanting landscapes of Provence, the Luberon awaits with its idyllic perched villages, swathes of lavender, cherry trees, vineyards and dense forest.
Become captivated by the scenery as you potter around artistic Gordes with its atmospheric Tuesday morning market before heading to hilltop Ménerbes, the village that inspired Peter Mayle’s ‘A Year in Provence’. Romantic Bonnieux enjoys the most glorious vistas, surrounded by a sea of vines and orchards, whilst red-hued Roussillon will take your breath away with its ochre landscapes and pine forests. They are all officially classified as ‘Plus Beaux Villages’ in France.
Yet there are so many hidden gems to explore as well. Discover the historic doorways, windmills and summer cherries of Saint-Saturnin-lès-Apt, then head to Goult to embrace its Provençal charm with little shops and pavement cafes. Surrounded by fields of lavender, Saint-Saturnin-lès-Apt is another historic jewel of the Luberon, often overshadowed by the handsome and historic town of Apt.
To the south of the Luberon, follow Albert Camus’ footsteps in Lourmarin, sip coffee by the picturesque bassin lined with plane trees in Cucuron and soak up the history of Ansouis – all three villages have a fine reputation for their high-end dining with a choice of Michelin starred restaurants.
Indeed, across the region look out for restaurant terraces serving Provençal cuisine with superb vistas alongside characterful markets showcasing seasonal delights from the Luberon and beyond (olives, melons, strawberries, cherries, truffles, chestnuts, lavender products and more). Most villages host a lovely weekly market whilst the largest in the Luberon is held on a Saturday morning in Apt. Just on the edge of the Luberon, L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue is famed for its antique stores and Sunday morning brocante. Meanwhile, wine lovers should visit the vineyards and wineries of the region producing Luberon and Ventoux AOC wines.
The walking, hiking and cycling opportunities in the Luberon seem endless and you will also find horse-riding, rock-climbing and tree-top adventures as well as canoeing and kayaking along the Sorgue near Fontaine-de-Vaucluse. Come across hiking trails for all abilities passing vineyards and forest or venture through the hills and mountain gorges for spectacular scenery. Cycling is also extremely popular – as well as more challenging routes, we especially love the family-friendly Véloroute du Calavon, a paved voie verte following a former railway line near the Calavon river passing poppies, lavender and orchards so typical of the Luberon.
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesL'Isle-sur-Sorgue is a lovely area for families with children and teens. Treasure seekers will adore the little antique shops and the famous Sunday morning brocante whilst youngsters will love watching the historic waterwheels. There’s also a nice playground on the edge of the Sorgue near the centre of the town as well as tennis courts a little further north.
There are plenty of adventurous activities too – head to nearby Fontaine-de-Vaucluse for canoeing and kayaking excursions along the tranquil Sorgue river, find horse-riding nearby or try out the tree-top adventure centre with trails and play areas suitable for a variety of ages (depending on height).
A little further afield, discover the fascinating caves at Grottes de Thouzon, spend the day at the theme park Parc Spirou near Carpentras or head to Avignon with its UNESCO World Heritage sites – tour the small city on the little road train and look out for boat trips along the Rhône.

Reviews

A quiet and pretty house!
After two weeks spent at Les Deux Mas, our children and friends left with regret. Your large property allowed young people and parents alike to spend unforgettable moments and visit the pretty Provençal villages around. We enjoyed finding so much peace and space in your lovely house.

We would like to rent again!
Thanks to you, we were all able to gather in this large and comfortable house for our usual summer week. We would like to rent again at Christmas because it seems to us that the family spirit that you have been able to develop there would be ideal for the holidays.
Don't miss out! Reserve now and get a full refund if you change your mind within 48hrs.
