About this property

Magnificent Village Home in Gorgeous Surroundings of Authentic Provence

A lovely village house in Luberon Regional Park, right in the heart of Provence. The house was totally renovated in 2012. It is ideally situated in the medieval village of Murs with it's Château dating back to the XVth century, only eight kilometers from Gordes, the renowned hilltop most beautiful village of France, and surrounded by gorgeous natural landscapes and preserved environment.

This spacious, sunlit village house, freshly renovated and elegantly decorated has a secluded roof top terrace, separate self contained apartment and is ideal for those who wish to retire from busy city hustle and bustle. Enjoy being part of a French village.

Relax and go for long walks through the beautiful unspoilt countryside, in particular around the Moulin de Veroncle and the Abbaye de Senanque.

Visit Avignon and its museums, the Palais des Papes, le Pont d'Avignon or le Pont du Gard. Explore the Port of Marseille and its calanques, go horseback riding in the Camargue or visit the antique Roman Arenas in Nimes.

The famous hilltop villages of Roussillon, Lacoste and the Marquis de Sade's Château, Bonnieux and Oppède le Vieux are all nearby and St Rémy and Les Baux are within 30 minutes drive. Visit a different market every day of the week and buy fresh strawberries and melons.

Dine out in excellent restaurants and visit the local wine cellars. In an afternoon you can sample wines varying from Vacqueyras, Châteauneuf de Pape to Côtes de Ventoux and Côtes de Luberon.

La Mursoise comfortably accommodates six adults in the main house (there is an inflatable bed that can also be used for an additional 2 people). A one-bedroom one-bathroom apartment can also be rented that accommodates an additional 2 people.

Thick stone walls will keep you cool in the hot summer and the sophisticated central heating system warm in the chilly winter.

The tastefully decorated, comfortable sunny lounge with its ceiling 'à la française' has deep sofas to collapse into after long walks. Many fascinating paintings bought by the owners look down on you from the walls.

The dining area has a soft lit atmosphere for long evening meals and greets easily eight people for dinner. There is a sound system to listen to you own choice in music from your electronic devices.

Bring home delicious cheese, fruits, vegetables, meats, bread and wine (of course) from your day’s exploration of the markets and cellars to prepare a delicious dine-in feast in the house’s beautiful and fully equipped kitchen. The fully equipped kitchen opens out onto the village lanes and has a huge Smeg stove with six-burner top and rotisserie oven and a battery of cooking utensils for the amateur chef. There are high quality pots and pans and plenty of stylish dishes and new contemporary glassware.

As you walk up the old tommette tiled stairs you will come to the first floor landing. On this level there is a lovely sunny bedroom with a queen-size bed with a breathtaking view over the countryside and village houses. There are 2 small closets in this room to hang your clothing. There is another bedroom on this floor that has two twin beds, but does not have the same magnificent views. Between the 2 bedrooms there is a spacious bathroom with separate bath tub, Italien shower, water closet and double washbasins. On this floor there is access to a separate studio apartment - this is not included in the standard rental (rented separately but can be added to this rental if additional space is required - for an additional cost if available). The studio apartment has a large sleeping area and separate sitting room and kitchenette (with refrigerator, cook-top). It has a large and luxurious bathroom with separate Italien shower, bath tub, water closet and double washbasins. Access to the apartment is via an independent entrance onto a charming village lane-way. If rented in addition to the main house it can be accessed by an internal heavy-duty door.

Up another little flight of steps and you will discover the delightful master bedroom with its cosy lounge area and superb tiled en suite bathroom with separate bath tub, Italien shower, Water Closet and double washbasins. There is plenty of cupboard space and access to the flowered roof top terrace.

All beds have quality linens. In the winter warm blankets are standard. All bathrooms have fluffy towels. In each bathroom there are containers that have shampoo, conditioner, and body wash.

On the top floor (where the master bedroom is), there is access to the rooftop deck. There you will find a new, large Hot Tub which can accommodate up to 6 people for relaxing time after a long summer walk or before going out for diner.

We also offer concierge services by a locally based house manager. She is able to make reservations, organize a private chef, and other activities to optimize your stay. Please note these services are not standard in the reservation, and are available for an additional charge, payable on arrival. Please notify me if you wish to add this service on reservation.
