Hidden from view and from the heat of the summer sun, the Mas Vermentino is only revealed once you pass through the large courtyard door.
All around, the Luberon hills planted with oaks and vines, lavender and olive trees, the scent of which perfumes the warm air. Inside, a large, partly shaded courtyard with a summer lounge featuring terracotta masonry benches and colorful wrought-iron seats surrounding a beautiful fireplace. It's the perfect place to take the time to get together, when you're not lingering in the large summer kitchen next door, where the table can seat a dozen guests.
In the cool of the morning, as the water trickles into the little fountain against the wall, you can enjoy your coffee and homemade breakfast, prepared daily by the housekeeper, who will be back at snack time with her arms full of delicious treats. This centuries-old farmhouse is rented with 5-star hotel services: daily housekeeping, access to La Bastide de Marie services, concierge service, Pure Altitude spa... Depending on the time of day and the course of the sun, you can relax in various parts of the courtyard, or take advantage of the swimming pool, just behind the large, glass-like door. A long, heated stone pool, bordered by bougainvillea and sun loungers, is ideal for swimming.
And when the heat or the languor tells us to withdraw, we take advantage of this farmhouse with thick walls that keep the cool. The authentic and refined décor is an invitation to relax: terracotta, cookie and sunflower yellow colors, sunshine mirrors, beautiful vintage ceramics, a collection of handmade terracotta pots and vases, still lifes, basketry, beautiful books and a collection of small objects.
We love to curl up in one of the two living rooms, with their natural tones between earth and sun, with their rough wood furniture, linen fabrics and tiled floors, or to wander around the large kitchen with its leafy green tones and its piano. Lacanche, stay in the dining room, which you enter from the courtyard, or slip away to one of the six bedrooms. All are different, decorated with care in this spirit of elegant simplicity.
Some overlook the patio, others the priest's garden, where we pick aromatic herbs for cooking when we feel like it, or the crests of the Luberon and the Abbey of Saint-Hilaire. And to close the day? We savor a good glass of rosé or white wine from the Domaine de Marie, just next door, while playing petanque on the field lined with olive trees. A real enchanted interlude.
