The space
Upon your arrival, you will be welcomed into a bright and airy living space at the heart of this 75 sqm villa. The living room, facing south-southwest, is bathed in natural light throughout the day thanks to two large bay windows. It is furnished with a 3/4-seater linen convertible sofa that can be transformed into a 160x190 cm bed, complemented by an armchair and a restored vintage coffee table. This area is perfect for relaxing, enjoying an aperitif, or watching a movie on the Samsung The Frame TV.
An entryway with a small bench allows you to comfortably remove your shoes and store your belongings. Adjacent to this, a custom-made wooden desk provides a workspace for one or two people, ideal for those who wish to stay productive.
The kitchen, seamlessly integrated with the living room, combines aesthetics and functionality due to its masonry construction. It is superbly equipped with high-quality Siemens appliances, including an oven, a microwave, and an induction hob. The elegant integration of a fridge-freezer, a dishwasher, and a washing machine, all set off by polished concrete, terracotta tiles, and wooden doors, completes the harmony of the decor.
For enhancing your meals, you will find a complete set of tableware, including dishes and glassware suitable for all your needs, from large wine glasses to cocktail glasses. The area also features an authentic renovated old farmhouse table that can accommodate 4 to 6 people, perfect for enjoying your slow-cooked meals or simply a coffee or tea.
Wake up in one of the two bedrooms equipped with high-end Épeda bedding, which combines pocket spring technology and memory foam to ensure a deeply restorative sleep. The spacious master bedroom, flooded with morning light due to its southeast orientation, features a Queen size bed (160x200 cm), accompanied by a masonry wardrobe with wooden shelves and two bedside tables with rattan lamps. The second bedroom, more intimate and facing due south, also enjoys beautiful light and is furnished with a double bed (140x190 cm), raw wood bedside tables, papier-mâché lighting, a functional desk, and a wardrobe. Waking up to the gentle song of birds, especially vibrant from spring to summer, adds a touch of natural magic to your stay.
The bathroom, fully masonry and finished in polished concrete, creates an authentic atmosphere. Enjoy a revitalizing experience in the Italian shower, equipped with relaxing jets thanks to the innovative Grohe SmartControl technology. It includes a basin with an elegant wall-mounted mixer tap, a large mirror, practical storage, and a towel warmer.
For your comfort, a hairdryer, an iron, and an ironing board are available. Additionally, a 160 cm tall wall mirror in the hallway allows you to see yourself fully.
Guest interaction
For your comfort, we provide sheets and towels, as well as toiletries such as shampoo and shower gel. Upon arrival, you will also find some coffee pods, tea bags, and kitchen essentials to start your stay off pleasantly.
Additionally, a crib, a high chair, and a small bathtub for babies are available upon prior request through the check-in form.
The villa was designed by Aurore Timon, a bold young interior designer driven by the ambition to create a unique universe and identity marked by the Provencal way of life. In harmony between spaces, materials, and colors, her approach focuses on the needs of travelers and offers a setting that is both practical and aesthetic. Every detail is thoughtfully considered to enhance the experience of the stay and make it even more memorable.
On the technology side, the accommodation is equipped with the latest innovations for optimal comfort. The ultra-fast internet connection via fiber optic with WiFi 6 and Ethernet ports meets all your digital needs. Relax in front of a 75-inch QLED 4K TV, complemented by a sound bar and streaming services such as Netflix, Disney+, and Prime Video.
The ambiance is fully adjustable thanks to Philips Hue lights and remote-controlled shutters. The rooms are equipped with USB and USB-C ports for easy charging of your devices. All these smart home features are easily controlled via a tablet.
The villa's environmental commitment is reinforced by the use of energy-saving technologies, enhanced insulation, and an Atlantic reversible heat pump, which reduce energy consumption. Grohe brand fittings, designed to maximize performance while reducing water consumption, reflect this eco-friendly approach. We also limit the use of single-use plastics to minimize our environmental impact. Color-coded bins are provided to facilitate selective sorting during your stay.
Guest access
The accommodation is ideally located in the hamlet of La Gravière, just 1.6 km from the center of Lourmarin village, recognized as one of the most beautiful villages in France. About 15-20 minutes on foot or 3 minutes by car, you can reach this picturesque village nestled at the foot of the Luberon. Lourmarin captivates with its rich cultural heritage, having inspired many famous authors.
Stroll through its Provencal streets to discover its treasures, explore charming boutiques, welcoming restaurants, and lively cafes, which form the vibrant heart of this exceptional place. Let yourself be enchanted by the unique atmosphere of Lourmarin, an invitation to explore and savor the Provençal art of living.
Access to the villa is facilitated for people with reduced mobility with direct parking on the property and a ramp. The absence of door thresholds and wide passageways with turning spaces enhance accessibility.
During the day, you can enjoy shared spaces such as the pool (open in season), sun loungers, and a pétanque court. These spaces, exclusively shared with the owners who use them occasionally, offer a quiet and intimate setting.
By early June, at Villa Oliveda, we are finalizing the private landscaping. These works include leveling the ground, installing an entrance gate, and adding a new table and chairs with a plancha, perfect for moments of relaxation and conviviality under the Mediterranean sun.
Villa Oliveda is much more than just a rental; it is the fruit of a passionate family project. My father, the craftsman of the place, takes charge of most of the work, bringing a personal touch and meticulous care to every detail of the villa. My mother, with her warm hospitality, ensures that each visitor feels immediately at home. Together, we have created a unique space on this 850m² plot, shared with our family home. Eager to welcome you, we are ready to introduce you to the charms of Lourmarin and the Luberon, making your stay an unforgettable memory.
