One of Lourmarin's most important landmarks, Mas des Cyprès enjoys a dominant position overlooking this extraordinary village. Perched on 2 hectares of manicured grounds, this is the perfect luxury rental property from which to take in the splendours of the Luberon.
The owner of Mas des Cyprès has generously made his family home available to a select few clients each year, exclusively through Emotional Escapes. This prestigious estate would be the ideal luxury rental for a three-generation family to come on a vacation to Provence together.
Decorated in a traditional and noble French style, the grand interior is rich with life and history. Outside, the pristine grounds offer privacy (despite the location on the edge of a village) and reflect the care with which the owner tends to his home.
Lourmarin is probably most closely associated with the name of Peter Mayle, the author of best-selling books such as "A Year In Provence" and "A Good Year" (the latter of which was adapted for the silver screen by Ridley Scott, starring Russell Crowe and Marion Cotillard and filmed mainly in Bonnieux), but was already a favourite destination for tasteful travellers well before this new-found fame.
Despite the high-profile residents and visitors the village has seen over recent years, it has refused to become a tourist hotspot and has done an incredible job preserving its authenticity and its charm, two words which probably best define Lourmarin.
Lourmarin is one of the most beautiful villages in France, situated in the Luberon hills of Provence. It offers an exclusive choice of chic vacation rentals.
Situated in the heart of the Luberon National Park, and just 15 minutes over the hill from Bonnieux, Lourmarin's numerous outdoor cafes, boutiques, art galleries and fine restaurants sets it apart from many other villages in the region. Lourmarin is renowned as one of the "Most Beautiful Villages in France".
