Provençal Country Villa with Pool and Tennis Court 10% Reduction July August

La Jassine is a Provençal-style villa nestled at the base of the Luberon Mountain range in the Luberon Regional Nature Park. The property is set among the vineyards, olive groves, and fruit orchards of the countryside between the charming villages of Lourmarin and Vaugines.

La Jassine is a private, fully furnished, 3 bedroom villa with outstanding views of the Luberon Mountain and spectacular sunsets. La Jassine offers Provençal country living at its finest. Savour the tranquility of Provence in the lounges around the deck of the swimming pool, enjoy a game of tennis on the full size tennis court or simply relax in the hammock stretched between the oak trees. The two-acre property has an orchard of cherry and olive trees in front of the villa and more fruit and olive trees on a hill behind the villa. There are many trees, shrubs and herbs on the property.

Interior Description

The kitchen of La Jassine is Provençal style, with rustic oak cabinets, a terracotta countertop and a typical beamed ceiling. From the large kitchen window, there is a spectacular view of the mountains. The kitchen is fully equipped for aspiring chefs. The focal point of the open concept living/dining area is a typical Provençal fireplace with a high efficiency wood insert. French doors lead directly out onto the terrace. There is a TV with satellite receiver and a multitude of international channels, as well as Netflix and DVD. The master bedroom features a teak bed with lovely Chinese headboard and large windows on two walls, offering views of the terrace and pool. The second bedroom has 2 single beds and the third bedroom has a double bed with a view of the tennis court. The airy, bright bathroom features a long vanity with 2 sinks and a beautiful tub with hand shower. There is also a separate shower room with sink.

From the living room, a magnificent sandstone staircase leads to the large, second-floor office/library. A huge, sliding picture window offers a breathtaking view of the Luberon Mountains. An antique desk in front of the window provides a wonderful place to enjoy the landscape while you work or read. There is also a double bed, a couch, and a single daybed at one end of the large office area. There are English and French books, guide books, toys, games, and a Foosball/Baby Foot.

Exterior Description

A doorway leads from the second floor onto a terrace at the front of the villa that overlooks the Luberon Mountain. It is the ideal spot to enjoy the sunset with a glass of local wine or for spectacular stargazing. The sheltered, southern exposure terrace off the living/dining room behind the house is the perfect place for breakfast or a romantic dinner. There is also a table in front of the house where you can have a meal or a drink overlooking the mountain. From the terrace, a few steps lead up to the pool and deck, bordered by a small garden. The full size tennis court overlooks the Luberon. A private road leads past the cherry orchard to this unique property, which enjoys complete privacy. In this beautiful country setting, you will enjoy the extraordinary light and colour of Provence that inspired Van Gogh and Cézanne. The distinctive sound of the cicadas and the intoxicating perfumes of wild herbs will delight your senses.

The villa is located in a flourishing cultural region that offers a wide range of festivals and markets. The sightseeing possibilities are endless, including the nearby castles of Lourmarin and Ansouis. The village of Lourmarin has been named one of France’s most beautiful villages. The villa is close to many fine restaurants, including the acclaimed Auberge La Fenière, the Moulin de Lourmarin, and the Michelin starred La Petite Maison de Cucuron.

La Jassine is a peaceful retreat with breathtaking natural beauty in the heart of Provence, where fine restaurants, fascinating historical sites, and outstanding entertainment are easily accessible. Your stay at La Jassine may be your most memorable vacations ever.

A nice week in the South of France
We (family of five) had a relaxing week. The property is very quietly located a few kilometres outside of Lourmarin, somewhat hidden in the middle of nature. The children had a lot of fun on the tennis court and in the pool, which is not heated. The Wi-Fi was excellent with over 100 Mbps. You can get excellent croissants at the bakery in nearby Vaugines. The surrounding villages of Lourmarin and Bonieux (Creperie) are also well worth a visit.

Belles vacances en provence
L’endroit est magnifique avec une vue sur les monts du luberon. C’est l’image même de la Provence. La piscine et le terrain de tennis nous ont bien divertis. La maison est grande, bien orientée et équipée de la fibre. Nous avons passé deux belles semaines de vacances dans la Jassine. Quelques précisions néanmoins : la villa n’est pas à Lourmarin mais à Vaugines, les équipements intérieurs sont un peu vieillissants et le ménage à revoir.

The Amazing La Jassine
La Jassine is a beautiful homely house in an amazing setting with lovely patio area, swimming pool and tennis court. We spent many hours relaxing and eating our meals on the patio by the swimming pool. We were there in September so the water in the pool was cold but most of us still swam every day. The nearest boulangerie with delicious croissants and pain au chocolats was a 20 minute walk or a few minute drive away, in Vaugines, where there is also a great restaurant,Le P'tit Resto which we would recommend. Loumarin is a beautiful, picturesque village with lots of little shops, cafes and restaurants. It is about a 40-50 minute walk or 10 minute drive away. The morning weekly market at Curcuron is good fun at the Place d'Etang which featured in the film 'The Good Year'. We enjoyed a challenging forest walk up the hill behind the house . A very special holiday and we would love to come back!

Beautiful, serene rural Provence setting & villa
This was our 4th stay at La Jassine and we will be back. Need we say more?! The villa is comfortable and has all you need for a relaxing stay. It is surrounded by vineyards, orchards and birdsong. Hiking trails into the Luberon forest and mountains pass by the end of the driveway. Superb cycling roads and routes from the villa. There are numerous gorgeous villages with in 3-7 km, each with a weekly market. Sandra and Paul are delightful and responsive hosts. Enjoy!

La Jassine rocks. Perfect home & great location
We stayed at La Jassine for two weeks in October as part of a House Swap arrangement. Prior to our arrival, we had positive communications with Paul and Sandra and decided to extend our originally planned one week stay by another week. This worked out extremely well for us. La Jassine is a beautiful house in the countryside in Provence 70 kms north of Marseille. It is extremely well equipped and lacks for nothing. The house is just a few kilometres from Lourmarin which is one of the prettiest towns in France and which offers a range of very good eateries and artistic offerings. We visited a few of the local restaurants but in the main we cooked ourselves. Beds were comfortable and there was plenty of space to move around both inside the house and by the swimming pool. We had good intentions regarding using the tennis court and swimming pool (both of which are very well maintained). However, whilst we rested and relaxed for quite a number of days, we also used it as a base for radiating day trips to the many exceptional scenic wonders of the area such as Milau (amazing viaduct), Nimes (old Roman amphitheatre, tower, town square, tree gardens), Avignon (massive castle), Orange (old Roman amphitheatre), Camargue (flamingos and white horses), Pont du Gard (old Roman aquaduct), Marseille (lovely buildings and scenery), L’Isle-Sur-La-Sorgue (great market in a very picturesque setting), etc We emphatically recommend staying at La Jassine Nola and John Davies

Perfect for family time
My, what a wonderful week we had! It restored my flagging energy levels, and was such a wonderful place for us as a family. I can't recall when last, if ever, I had my 19 year old son playing with his little brother of 8, and his sisters all together. And they even managed to persuade their dad to play Marco Polo with us which was a first. There was a lot of pool play and the tennis court was great fun. A very special time for us. We would love to return to the magic La Jassine.

Beautiful secluded holiday villa.
Fantastic villa in a wonderfully secluded spot. We spent a week there and the time flew by. Having our own private tennis court and the pool to cool off in after a game was fantastic! The house is well equipped and perfect for lazing around by the pool or in the hammock. However, there is lots to explore in the surrounding area - Lourmarin is lovely, but for somewhere equally nice but less touristic Cucuron is perfect. Sandra very quick to answer any questions we had. We would definitely return at some point!

Fabulous Provence retreat!
We have stayed at La Jassine 3x over the past 5 years and will return again May 2018. The villa is cozy and well outfitted with a large pool and the location peaceful and private with beautiful views of surrounding vineyards, orchards and mountains. Hiking and cycling can be done from the front door. There are at least 5 quaint French villages and weekly markets within 3-6 km. Paul and Sandra are very responsive and friendly. We love La Jassine!

Feels like Home
This was our second stay and we will return. The property is ideally located near Lourmarin. We visited different nearby villages each day picking up fresh items at their farmer markets. The area is rural and we always felt very safe. We stayed for two weeks and our next visit will be longer.

A beautiful place to relax and enjoy life
La Jassine is a wonderful house, it is very peaceful and private with a lovely view yet close to some great towns, Lourmarin especially is a gem. We loved the tennis court and the space upstairs.

Memorable Family Vacation
Our family of five spent over two weeks at La Jassine and had a wonderful time. After a couple days we were already talking about returning some day. This is a very comfortable house with lots of room and everything that you need for a long-term stay. The location was perfect for us. It was quiet and out-of-the-way but within walking distance of Lourmarin, Vaugines and Cucuron. We spent more time in Lourmarin but loved the walk to Cucuron, going through vineyards and farms. It's not a short walk but amazing that you can do it and hardly set foot on a paved road. We also enjoyed just relaxing at the house. The view is beautiful and you feel like you have the Luberon to yourself. The house is well taken care of, too -- this is not a barely adequate rental property but there is a fully-stocked kitchen providing everything you would need for cooking. We would love to make a return visit!

Un weekend en Provence
Nous avons loué la villa La Jassine avec un petit groupe d'amis au courant du mois d'avril. C'est après avoir roulé au travers du magnifique village de Lourmarin que nous découvrîmes notre nouveau nid pour la durée d'un séjour qui, comme toujours, se révélerait être bien trop court. La Jassine est une sublime habitation au milieu d'une nature majestueuse typique de la Provence, que nous ne nous sommes pas gardés d'explorer en randonnée ou balades à vélo. Les paysages sont tout bonnement époustouflants. Si cela n'était pas assez, la piscine et le terrain de tennis privés accotés à la villa permettent de profiter d'un bain de soleil ou, pour les plus sportifs, d'échanger quelques balles. La villa prévoit tout ce qu'il faut pour un séjour reposant et serein: grande salle à manger où nous ne manquions jamais de nous retrouver, salon avec fauteuils et canapés moelleux, cuisine parfaitement équipée, chambres confortables avec vues époustouflantes, salle de bain impeccablement propre et, bien sûr, une spacieuse terrasse sur laquelle nous prenions la majorité de nos repas. Bref, la Jassine est le lieu idéal pour un séjour en famille ou entre amis, pour oublier les soucis de la ville et se laisser apaiser par le confort d'une élégante et jolie maison Provençale.

A wonderfully relaxing spot
La Jassine is a wonderfully relaxing villa situated just outside the beautiful Lourmarin town and very central to many amazing attractions. It's a very comfortable place which easily housed our family of four. The house is very well equipped and comfortably furnished. My only comment would be that the bed linen and pillows could be updated. Sandra was a wonderful hostess providing great communication and information. We would happily stay at La Jassine again.

La Jassine is very nicely located at the end of a little country lane, about 10 minutes drive to a beautiful village Lourmarin. The house is spacious and the kitchen is well equipped . The swimming pool is rather small but together with the hammock and large table and chairs provide an ideal place for relaxation. The tennis court is a bonus and we played there everyday. Perfect location for truly Provencal style holidays!

Classic Provence experience.
Located at the end of a little country road, La Jassine is just an idyllic location. Quiet, and protected from the winds on one side, with views of the mountains on the other side. The house was exactly as we anticipated a Provence house would be and we were just delighted. The large dining table inside or the patio table by the pool were great locations for lunch or dinner. The local boulangerie in Vaugines was only a few minutes drive away and was voted by us as having the best croissants in France. The location was excellent with easy day drives to the surrounding hill top villages. The market in nearby Lourmarin was terrific and probably one of the best in the region. Pertuis is the closest major town with a couple of huge supermarkets plus artisan boulangeries (not as good as the Vaugines croissants!) Sandra and Paul were excellent hosts and nothing was too much trouble. We would love to go back.

Romantic Provencal Experience
My partner and I carefully selected La Jassine for a week away in the sun and time alone. We enjoyed much more than that, as La Jassine provided us a truly romantic getaway where we could recharge and yet experience the true Provencal lifestyle. The home is well kept, very spacious, well equipped and very private. The pool was delightful after many hot days in the sun and the tennis court was a bonus for the times we had the energy to play a game or two!

Great location with all the amenities
Have stayed in a number of properties throughout France over the years and La Jassine ranks right up there with the best of them. Instructions from the hosts were spot on and we had no problem finding the place. Tons of room for the kids, who loved the pool. The wife and I enjoyed the tennis court. We ALL got the most out of the BBQ out back. Beds were comfortable, kitchen will equipped, and most importantly the kids went home happy!!! Was really a slice of heaven for us – so much to see and do in the area. Would not hesitate to recommend this property to anyone and can say for certain that we will be back at some point.

Provence’s finest – La Jassine
La Jassine is a spectacular spot! Hiking, Biking, Tennis and pool – it has everything for those who enjoy the outdoors. The beautiful sunshine, weather (and delicious foods and local wines close by) make it the perfect setting for those who wish to get a true Provencal experience. For those who like to put up their feet and relax you will definitely be at peace here. La Jassine has plenty of space, charm, even hammocks for those wishing to lounge by the pool. Paul and Sandy were more than helpful in setting up our stay which allowed for a truly relaxing and hassle-free vacation. Thank you Paul and Sandy! I will definitely plan a trip back to La Jassine very soon!

Little Piece of Paradise in Provence
My wife and I had an amazing time at Paul and Sandra's villa. Absolutely everything was perfect. The place is spacious, comfortable and clean. It has a breathtaking view on the Luberon Mountains and it is perfectly located to visit Provence. The pool and the tennis court made our stay even more enjoyable. Paul and Sandra had prepared everything perfectly for our arrival and the communication with them was very easy. They are without a doubt the kindest hosts that we have had. We recommend this villa 100%. It is an absolute steal. Paul and Sandra - Thank you again for your hospitality. We truly hope we will be able to come back to your amazing villa one day.

Provence perfection
I feel that I blinked and a week was gone. It has been divine, easily the best place we've rented anywhere around the world. This is one home that actually exceeds its internet descriptions and photos. The house is spacious, with comfortable beds and furniture. The views from the second floor "office" are lovely and the room itself is inviting. For most of the day, the only sounds to be heard come from birds and the light hum of the fridge! Numerous nearby villages make for great evening strolls--Lourmarin, as well as Vaugines, Cucuron, Cadenet, Ansious, are each worthy of a visit. There are splendid Michelin-starred and other decent restaurants within a 5-10 min drive, as well as excellent marches to stock up on food. I highly recommend the Lourmarin marche (comparable in size and scope to Apt's and Vaison la Romaine's, but go early because it gets crowded), as well as the small but comprehensive one in Cadenet. In sum, there's too much to do in a week, so stay longer if you can. (We enjoyed the private tennis court and private pool, too!) You'll get an authentic Provencal experience in the midst of comfort and serenity. Deepest thanks to the owners of La Jassine for sharing their home with the world.

Provence at it's Very Best
A wonderful two weeks in the heart of Provnce. We want to thank the Becketts for the use of their lovely home "La Jassine", which we used as a homebase for exploring more than a dozen Villages in the Luberon. To tour all day and be able to return to the tranquility of La Jassine was like being home. The beauty,the indiscrible peace and quiet! The house and the location couldn't have been more perfect. Thanks again to Paul and Sandra for allowing us to find and enjoy the Luberon, we couldn't have done it without La Jassine.
