Photos and Description of this Lacoste holiday house 2 bedroomed house sleeps 4/5 with separate 2 bed studio

The property is situated in the beautiful hillside village of Lacoste, some 25 miles to the east of Avignon and close to the market town of Apt. The village has a post office, tabac, baker/epicerie, 2 cafes and a good restaurant and is home to the ruined castle of the Marquis de Sade. The castle is now owned by Pierre Cardin and each summer it stages open air theatrical and musical events. The village is also home to numerous artists and writers as well as the Lacoste School of Arts. The house has a terrace and small garden which enjoy spectacular views across the valley to Bonnieux, ideal for relaxing, painting or writing. Of all the Luberon villages, Lacoste is arguably the most charming and tranquil and in the words of Pierre Cardin probably the most beautiful in the world.

A WONDERFUL STAY!

Review Submitted: July 13, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2008
We stayed here this June for a week, and had a lovely time. Lacoste is our favorite village in the Luberon mountains, and this home was a most excellent place to stay!! The living room has a fireplace and a stunning view across the valley to Bonnieux, and the lovely terrace looks over the valley as well, with fruit trees and a grape trellise. The home is nicely appointed and comfortable; big enough for a family, but perfect for a romantic getaway too. You're close to all of the famous perched villages of the Luberon, and can get a taste of real french village life. We couldn't recommend it more highly, and will surely be back!! Thanks for a wonderful stay!
Owner's Response: We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay in Lacoste.Maybe we are a little biased,but it is also our favourite place in the Luberon.Still very much a working village and not too crowded.We look forward to welcoming you again.

Outstanding

Helen et al Egham, Surrey
Review Submitted: November 20, 2008 Date of Stay: November 2008
The Tour de Babel is outstanding - it has a beautiful location in a pebbled-street village, perched on the edge of the Luberon with truly stunning views from every window. It was clean and well-equipped, everything you need for a self-catering holiday. It is spacious, plenty of room for four or five adults for dining and lounging.
We stayed for a fortnight in November and the house was cosy and welcoming when the weather was a bit colder. The terrace also shares the fantastic views. It was not quite the time of year for eating outside but we enjoyed sitting on the terrace, just drinking in the peace and beauty of the place in the autumn sunshine.
It was great to be able to buy basic necessities locally in the village boulangerie and tabac and Apt is an easy run for supermarkets. We were impressed by the number of things to see and do in the area without driving too far and left feeling there was more to do. The walking all round the area is very good, lots of waymarked paths and plenty of information available about them.
We all agreed that a re-visit in the summer is a must!
Owner's Response: Thank you for your kind comments.We try our best to make everyone's stay as enjoyable as possible.No doubt the Luberon will yield up more of its treasures and pleasures next time you visit.

Hillside Home with Spectacular Views

Friendly American Alexandria, VA, USA
Review Submitted: July 14, 2008 Date of Stay: May 2008
My husband and I stayed at this lovely home in Lacoste this past May. The house is well located in a beautiful hillside village in the Luberon Mountains. Neighbors were friendly and the town is small, but charming. The view from the terrace is spectacular. A wonderful place to relax and enjoy. We were able to make several easy trips to Bonnieux, Menerbes, Rousillon, Gourde, and then day trips to Aix-en-Provence, Arles, Avignon, St. Remy. Wonderful!
Owner's Response: We are really pleased that you had such an enjoyable stay.As you say,Lacoste is a charming village and within easy access of the many appealing towns and villages of the area.
