Overview
Description
The Olive Garden is a “home away from home” in Provence. Comfortably accommodating 10 people, the villa 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.The Villa
A large wooden door opens up 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.
A side entrance door leads into the kitchen where windows create a wall that frames the garden beautifully, bringing light and a sense of the outdoors into the interior. This theme of light opening up in to the house from the outside sits within all the rooms at The Olive Garden, with french doors and intimate terraces and balconies giving the house its magical quality.
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. There is a beautiful wood burner in the fireplace for winter visits to Provence, very warm and cosy and atmospheric.

The Village:
The village of Caromb is a pleasant 10 minute walk down a quiet residential road. It is old and full of character, a medieval french town, with a central church and a winding labrynth of cobbled streets, archways and staircases to keep you guessing where the various bakeries are hidden. There is a fresh food market on a Tuesday, a variety of cafes and restaurants including a newly opened haute cuisine restaurant and trendy wine bar!
Caromb is one of a handful of beautiful hilltop villages that lie in the foothills of Mont Ventoux. It is an exquisite area of Provence, filled with character and charm. There are many walks that lead straight from the house into National Forest and the larger towns of Carpentras and Avignon are within easy reach.
Rental of Bikes and Other Services: We have a variety of road bikes that can be rented at the house. We can also provide guided tours. Please ask for more details.

By Sebastien on 10-Aug-2024Je recommande la villa d'Audrey et Peter qui est très bien équipée avec tous les équipements nécessaires et la literie est confortable. C'est très bien située dans une impasse très calme et sans vis à vis à 5min du centre ville pittoresque disposant de tous les commerces nécessaires. Nous reviendrons avec plaisir :)
The Olive Garden
By Francisco on 15-Jul-2024we had a lovely family vacation in a magical place, definitely to do it again!
Wonderfully relaxing time in beautiful surroundings
By Kathy on 10-Jul-2024Fabulous location with boulangerie, butcher’s, florist and restaurants all within easy walking distance in delightful village. Very well-designed and comfortable house, perfect for a group (we are a family of six), with a lovely variety of areas to dine and relax in together as well as quiet spots for moments of blissful solitude. Lots of thoughtful attention to detail. Huge pine tree and olive trees in garden. Evening walks up into the hills and looking down over the Provençal landscape, the quietness, vineyards, simplicity and ease.
Beautiful secluded villa close to town
By Frances Sparrow on 06-Aug-2023Beautiful and well laid out secluded house. Well equipped kitchen and plenty of eating space. Nice size pool with plenty of space around it to sit. Comfortable beds. Two good showers. Could do with a third one upstairs though! 5 minute walk down a quiet lane to the town to get morning bread and pastries. A few good restaurants here too. A 2 mile walk with fab views up to the lac du Paty where you can swim and eat ice cream ( there is even a bar). Great location for visiting Château and tasting wine, seeing the lavender fields and going up Mont Ventoux. We had an excellent break and definitely were not ready to leave.
