The Olive Garden is a “home away from home” in Provence. Comfortably accommodating 10 people, the house is full of charm and intimate spaces. Located in the foothills of the famous Mont Ventoux, it sits nestled at the end of an Impasse between the picturesque local village of Caromb and outstanding National Forest.

It is a perfect location for cycling and taking wine tours. Bike hire is available, please enquire.

A large wooden door opens into the enclosed garden and terraced area, with vines that cascade over a pergola and a host of olive trees, from which the house derives its name.
An entrance door leads into the kitchen where windows frame the garden beautifully, opening up to bring light and space from the garden into the house. This theme of light lies within all the rooms at The Olive Garden, with french doors and intimate terraces and balconies giving the house its magical quality.
The house floor space measures 235 sq mètres, with 2000sq mètres of enclosed garden.
The kitchen is fully equipped with a large gas range oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer and of course, a coffee machine!
Within the same open space is a dining table seating 10 people, enabling everyone to socialize together along side the chef.
The lounge leads off the kitchen with 3 sets of french doors leading out to the pool area and onto a secluded balcony terrace, strewn with roses and vines; an intimate setting for aperitifs or morning coffee.

The village of Caromb is a pleasant 10 minute walk down a quiet residential road.
