About this property

Our home - Au Coin des Amis - is just this side of heaven - a fabulous home located in a Provencal village in the Luberon Valley - the most beautiful area of all of Provence - halfway between Avignon and Aix-en-Provence.

The 190 sm / 2000 sq ft home was previously owned by an artist and elegantly restored in 2010. Provencal charm and architectural detail (wood beams, portes anciennes) throughout .... combined with modern and stylish bathrooms, kitchen and living spaces.

There are 3 luxurious bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. The home was furnished in 2011, including all new household appliances. We are cooks and enjoy entertaining - so you will find the kitchen to be fully equipped. Enjoy a glass of wine on the rooftop terrace or host an intimate soiree in the stone wine cellar!

Not that you will want to leave "Au Coin des Amis", but just in case there are many nearby villages and things to explore. Head over to Chateauneuf-du-Pape region for wine-tasting, hike incredible trails in the ocre formations, meander in the daily local markets, explore stunning hilltop villages, take a cooking course -- all within a short distance. (We will send you a guide book to all our local favorites after you book so you'll have the "insiders" view.)

This is a beloved home, so we are keen to know who you are, what brings you to Provence, and your interests so we can make recommendations and ensure you have a memorable visit. Please let us tell us about yourself when you inquire about booking our home!

Check in is after 4 p.m. and check out by 11 a.m.

All linens, towels, etc. provided. This is a second home, so all the closets, etc. are free of "other people's stuff" ... and you will find it as cozy and comfortable as if your own home!

We live in San Francisco, so regrettably not able to welcome you in person. However, our local English-speaking home managers will be on hand to help you out with any questions or problems during your stay.

We love our Provencal village! It is the "real" Provence with friendly people, kids playing in the square, petanque being played in the evenings, hiking nearby. Rustrel is spared the maddening crush of tourists, yet is a short drive to all the magical hilltop villages, markets, sights, and restaurants.

Provence is not known for its public transportation. You will need to hire a car.

Beautiful home full of character in a lovely village

This home is a gorgeous property full of character and fully equipped with all mod-cons. It is incredibly well located in Rustrel, one of the smallest villages in the Luberon but still with a well equipped shop, bakery, restaurant, brasserie and municipal pool. Communication with the owners was very easy and they provided a hugely informative information book relating to the area and the property. Following the advice, we visited some beautiful towns and villages in the area as well as venturing a bit further to Pont du Gard, Avignon and to cycle up Mont Ventoux. Can’t recommend both the property or the area highly enough- thanks very much Beth and Tom!

Nicest place we have ever stayed

A stunning historic house made even better with care and attention to detail for visitors. Clean, well-stocked, comfortable, beautiful! Walkable to everything in Rustrel, which is itself only a short drive from many other historic towns and activities. Recommend without hesitation!

Une superbe maison de village en Provence !

Nous avons passé des vacances reposantes et au calme dans le petit village de Rustrel ! La maison est très bien située dans une rue calme, avec des équipements dernier cri qui nous ont permis de cuisiner et de profiter de l'environnement du Lubéron ! La literie est récente donc aucun problème de dos; les pièces d'eau sont très grandes avec une baignoire à l'étage et une douche aussi pour chaque étage ! La maison est parfaitement entretenue! Une maison avec une grande superficie et le plus de la maison , une terrasse sur le toit avec des possibilités pour prendre le soleil ou pour suivre les étoiles notamment en aout au moment des perséides; le ciel du Lubéron est propice pour observer les étoiles ; la pollution lumineuse est tellement moins importante qu'en ville ! Une mention spéciale pour la boulangerie de Rustrel à 5mn à pied de la maison : tous les jours, un pain différent, des viennoiseries fraiches pour le petit déjeuner! Evidemment depuis la maison , on peut parcourir de beaux sentiers de randonnées notamment pour rejoindre le Colorado provencal ! Merci à Ruth pour tous ses conseils, son carnet à l'attention de ses hôtes dans la maison rempli de bonnes adresses!

About the host

Hosted by Jen Mallon

We're Beth & Tom who live mostly in San Francisco and spend as much time as we can in Provence. Beth returned to the States in 2012 after 5 fantastic years living and working in Copenhagen, Denmark. We both spent our childhoods living abroad and met at Duke University (many) years ago as undergraduates.

We have our home in France listed here on VRBO and a private flat in San Francisco listed on Airbnb.

We bought our home in France a few years ago and love the fabulous Luberon Valley area of Provence - markets, hiking, festivals, vineyards, hilltop villages. You won't be disappointed and you won't want to leave!

We like to know who our guests are and what interests them. So when making an inquiry or booking, let us know about who you are!

Why they chose this property

We bought our home after a month long trip to the region in 2010 and have not one regret! Rustrel is a most charming village - the villagers young and old gather on summer nights in the square to listen to music and dance, there is fantastic hiking nearby, and on any given day there is a lively petanque game taking place. It is the 'real' way of life in Provence - friendly, sunny, and easy going.

What makes this property unique

Our home is located in an authentic Provencal village - close by to everything, yet unspoilt by busloads of tourists and traffic. The home was renovated with detail to retaining Provencal charm and features, yet upgrading to modern conveniences. The bathrooms are modern with luxury fixtures (rainshowers, soaking tub, etc.) and the kitchen is fully equipped for cooks. Throw open the windows, soak in the sunshine and enjoy our wonderful home.
