Overview
Description
For rent, “Les Alouettes” is a beautiful single story stone villa in Malaucène, Vaucluse, Provence. Although originally built as a Berger (a shepherd’s home) it has been totally restored to become the charming and comfortable home, in the spirit of Provence, that it is today. It has a professionally maintained large private garden and an alarmed free-form swimming pool.The house is located a few hundred meters from the centre of the town with its shops, boulangeries and a dozen restaurants. It is also beside the town park which has a lake, a good work-out course and municipal tennis courts, all with the beautiful background of the mountains at the foot of Mont Ventoux. The property has a side entrance to the municipal car park leading up to the town, with all its facilities, by foot 50 – 100 meters.
The owner now lives independently at the far end of the large villa. The terrace has a trellis, one side offers a larger area for guests, the other side a smaller area for the owner. She will not be sharing your terrace nor the swimming pool. She (or her representative) will welcome you and give you an introduction to the property. After, if you need her, you will be able to either send her an e-mail, or phone her or send her an SMS message; otherwise you will see her or her representative on departure

By Olivier on 19-Aug-2025I didn't want to write this review before I made sure that I could rent it the following year. Too afraid that someone would book before we had a chance. This says it all. Amazing place, fantastic host, great surroundings. If there were a possibility to give 11/10 I would. the family loved it and we all agreed we couldn't possibly think of going elsewhere :-) Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Maria, for making us feel at home.
A excellent place to stay in Malaucène, Vive Le Mont Ventoux

By Inna on 05-Sep-2024Thank you very much for a great holiday. We liked everything!! ! ! We felt care for the guests, you took care of every little thing to make our stay very pleasant!

Thanks to you, we immersed ourselves in the fascinating atmosphere of Provence. Thank you again for a wonderful stay, welcome and relaxation!!
Cozy accommodation with a nice swimming pool
By M on 19-Aug-2024The accommodation is very cozy and the garden with the pool is great.
Fantastic! Definitely recommended!
By Nicole on 18-Jul-2023The house is beautifully located, near the center of Malaucène and with a large private garden with swimming pool and several terraces where it is pleasant to sit and rest. The decoration of the house is authentic, all rooms are nicely decorated. The beds are comfortable and the kitchen is well equipped. Maria is a pleasant host, she finds it important that the guests feel good and that they have everything they need for a pleasant stay. She lives nearby, but she is discreet and gives useful tips about the area, restaurants, ... if desired. We had a great time in Les Alouettes!
