About this property

6-bedroom house with heated pool and superb views in the Luberon Provence

This spacious house provides comfortable accommodation for 12-14 people Located in the hills above the lovely, bustling town of Apt, there are breathtaking views of Saignon, one of the most beautiful villages in the Luberon. The house is an oasis of calm, in a beautiful, tranquil location. The pool is heated from the beginning of April to the end of October. A feature of the house is the small cabin by the pool, which sleeps two and has its own bathroom. Air conditioning in the house is provided in the two upper bedrooms and the main living-dining room.
The 3,300 m² garden is divided naturally into separate sections, which provide opportunities for quiet and relaxation as well as having petanque court. The kitchen is well equipped with an induction hob, oven, microwave, dishwasher, Nespresso, large fridge freezer and a drinks cooler. There are two televisions, the internet connection is fibre optic, and the mobile phone reception is very good.
Six bedrooms are available, five in the house and the sixth in the cabin. In the downstairs living room, there is a convertible sofa which can be used as an additional double bed. All bed linen and towels are provided.
A feature of the house is the long south-facing balcony which benefits from the shade from the trees and has beautiful views of Saignon. It is the perfect for spot for breakfast or morning coffee.
We have been coming to the Luberon for the past 35 years. We have learnt to appreciate the advantages of a house like ours which accommodates big groups of mixed ages well. Teenagers can make their own way into town which is only ten minutes’ walk away. Adults can do the same and avoid what can become a tyranny of having to drive everywhere to get shopping or a coffee. Apt, as the capital of the Luberon, retains a genuine charm and year-round life, whilst hosting the most famous Saturday market in the region.
The lane by the house is at the start of a designated walk into the Luberon hills. The most famous villages of the Luberon - Bonnieux, Lacoste, Roussillon, Gordes etc - are typically within 20 minutes’ drive. The area is great for cycling and we make our own bicycles available. There are also a many other activities in the wider area.

Holiday in Apt

We had a wonderful time at John & Vicky’s holiday home with our family. Very spacious with lots of outdoor dining and seating area - the pool is excellent and used most days by everyone. The location was great for us with lots of wonderful pretty hilltop villages to visit especially on market days. The house was very well equipped with all you would need. The bedrooms were light and airy and the beds very comfortable. John sent us a very comprehensive guide to the area before we arrived which we found very useful. We would have no hesitation in booking this property again in the future.

Wonderful house in Apt

The house was a great place for a holiday. Very comfortable and a wonderful outside area for relaxation for the adults and play area for the kids. The kitchen was well stocked with all amenities and the hosts were very generous with items left for the guests' use. I would definitely recommend this house to others.

A brilliant house for a large family or groups of friends!

We were 3 families with children aged between 8 amd 15 and we stayed at Johns house at the end August. The house and the grounds are both very spacious and the decor inside is quirky, bright and welcoming. We loved the pool, table tennis, boules and spent most evenings sipping our wine, cooking on the barbecue whilst the children played to their hearts content. The house sits above Apt and has amazing views over to the beautiful village of Saignon. We walked there through the quiet lanes one afternoon and enjoyed ice creams and beers before our return. The kitchen is very well equipped for cooking for large groups and the house is plenty big enough for 3 families to mingle yet have space for their own down time. John was incredibly helpful with lots of informative e mails before our stay. Would highly recommend this great house.

Unprepared for short holiday let

We discovered late in the booking process that there were no facilities for small children. We therefore took cots and cot bedding, highchairs, booster seat, toys etc. This was possible only because we had a campervan. There were some inflatables in the pool house. The grass was about 1foot high which discouraged ball games. The wifi took a day to get operational. The cesspit needed emptying. The pool was great. Quite a long walk down a steep hill into Apt. Great hilltop villages in the area. Supermarkets easy to access by car.

Une superbe semaine de Noël à Apt.

Nous nous sommes retrouvés en famille chez John à Apt pour la semaine de Noël. Les instructions fournies préalablement étaient très claires, l'accueil chaleureux avec en bonus un sapin et des décorations de Noël. La maison est très fonctionnelle et il y fait bon vivre. Nous ne nous sommes jamais sentis à l'étroit pourtant nous étions 13. Le sympathique cabanon séparé où 2 personnes peuvent loger est un plus. A noter aussi le superbe boulodrome. La région est splendide; nous avons eu la chance d'avoir du soleil et un grand ciel bleu pratiquement toute la semaine, ce qui a permis de bien en profiter. Nous recommandons cette location sans hésiter.

About the host

Hosted by John Hillier

We live in London and love France, especiially the Luberon which we have been visiting for years. Our children and grandchildren of all ages love the house and the area.

Why they chose this property

The house is extremely versatile. You can easily accommodate 12 or more people whilst for smaller group of 3-4 people the upstairs works extremely well. The house was the first house built in 1969 and the owners chose the best site with amazing views. Originally the owners lived upstairs. Later a new garage was added to the side and rooms established downstairs. The cabin in the garden adds a great additional dimension to the property. We have been making the houe more green by adding solar panels and air-source heat pumps for the airconditiong and the pool.

What makes this property unique

Children and teenagers love the cabin. They spend the evenings there and adults can enjoy the house and eating area outside. The proximity to Apt means teenage children can walk down the hill and enjoy the town and the market whenever they want. This makes for a much more relaxing holiday for everyone and frees you from having to get in a car to go anyway. We love the cycling to Saignon wehere we go most days for morning coffee - and our bikes are availble to all.
