The space
The living room, facing south-southwest, is bathed in natural light thanks to two large bay windows that illuminate the space throughout the day. It is equipped with a 3/4 seater linen convertible sofa, which unfolds into a 160x190 cm bed, accompanied by an armchair and a restored vintage coffee table. This area is ideal for relaxing, enjoying an aperitif, or watching a movie on the Samsung The Frame TV.
At the entrance, you will find a masonry setup consisting of a small bench that allows you to take off your shoes and easily store your belongings. Right next to it, a custom-made wooden desk provides a workspace for one or two people, ideal for those who wish to stay productive.
The kitchen, open to the living room, combines aesthetics and functionality thanks to its masonry construction, enhanced by polished concrete, terracotta tiles, and wooden doors. High-quality Siemens appliances are fully integrated, including an oven, a microwave, an induction hob with hood, a fridge-freezer, a dishwasher, and a washing machine.
To enhance your meals, you will find a complete set of tableware, including dishes and glassware suitable for all your desires, from large wine glasses to cocktail glasses. Meals can be shared around an authentic renovated old farmhouse wooden table, capable of accommodating 4 to 6 people, perfect for enjoying your simmered dishes or simply having 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, bathed in morning light thanks to its southeast-facing position, features a Queen-size bed measuring 160x200 cm, accompanied by a masonry dressing room 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 equipped with a 140x190 cm double bed, raw wood bedside tables, papier-mâché lighting, a functional desk, and a dressing room. Waking up to the soft song of birds, especially vibrant from spring to summer, adds a touch of natural magic to your stay.
The bathroom, fully masonry and made with polished concrete, creates an authentic atmosphere. Enjoy a revitalizing experience in the walk-in shower, equipped with relaxing jets thanks to the innovative Grohe SmartControl technology. It includes a basin fitted with an elegant wall-mounted mixer, a large mirror, practical storage, and a towel heater.
You will also find a hairdryer, an iron, and an ironing board at your disposal. Moreover, a 160 cm tall wall mirror in the hallway allows you to see yourself in full.

The villa was designed by Aurore Timon, a bold young interior architect, driven by the ambition to create a space that is both warm and authentic. She pays particular attention to the harmony between spaces, materials, and colors, while focusing on the experience of travelers and their specific needs, thus offering a practical and aesthetic setting.
From a technology perspective, 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 soundbar and streaming services such as Netflix, Disney+, and Prime Video.
The ambiance is fully adjustable thanks to Philips Hue lights and remote-controlled roller shutters. The bedrooms are equipped with USB and USB-C sockets for easy charging of your devices. All these home automation equipment are easily controllable via a tablet.
The villa's environmental commitment is strengthened by the use of energy-saving technologies, enhanced insulation, and an Atlantic reversible heat pump, which limit energy consumption. Grohe brand fittings, designed to maximize performance while reducing water consumption, are part of this eco-responsible approach. We also limit the use of single-use plastics to minimize our environmental impact. To facilitate selective sorting during your stay, color-coded bins are provided.
Guest access
The accommodation is ideally located in the hamlet of La Gravière, just 1.6 km from the center of the village of Lourmarin, 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 is captivating with its rich cultural heritage, having inspired many famous authors.
Stroll through its Provencal alleys to discover its treasures, explore charming boutiques, welcoming restaurants, and lively cafes, which constitute the vibrant heart of this exceptional place. Let yourself be enchanted by the unique atmosphere of Lourmarin, an invitation to explore and savor the sweet Provençal life.
Access to the villa is made easier for people with reduced mobility thanks to direct parking on the property and a ramp. The absence of door thresholds and wide passageways with turning spaces improve accessibility.
During the day, you can enjoy shared spaces such as the pool (open seasonally), sun loungers, and a boules 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 private land improvements. These works include leveling the ground, installing an entrance gate, and adding a new table and chairs accompanied by a plancha, ideal for relaxing and convivial moments under the Mediterranean sun.
Villa Oliveda is much more than just a rental; it is the result 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 sense of hospitality, ensures that every visitor feels immediately at home. Together, we have created a unique space on this 850 sqm plot, shared with our family home. Eager to welcome you, we are ready to help you discover the charms of Lourmarin and the Luberon, ensuring that your stay becomes an unforgettable memory.
