Villa Mas des Plaines in Bonnieux Luberon, Provence is a gorgeous restored farmhouse that captures the essence of Provence. Set in the Natural Park region of the scenic Luberon valley, the villa is surrounded by vineyards, lavender fields and rose gardens.

The interior designer created a setting that exudes character with architectural details that retain the authenticity of the building. Exposed stone walls and rough hewn beamed ceilings add to the Provencal charm of this lovely home. The main living room features comfortable seating arranged around a cozy wood-burning fireplace, and the adjacent dining area offers access to the outdoors with a large French door that allows for natural light. The kitchen offers every modern convenience, yet retains a country feeling in keeping with the origins of the villa.

Villa Mas des Plaines provides six spacious, well-appointed en-suite bedrooms, and the grounds are ideal for special events for up to 50 guests. A central courtyard is in the heart of the home, shaded by a centuries old plane tree typical of the region. The dining table beneath is the ideal place to enjoy an outdoor meal.

The swimming pool and pool deck offer panoramic views of the Luberon Mountains and the tiny hilltop villages of Bonnieux and Lacoste. For casual meals, the pool-house offers a table on the terrace and a fireplace for grilling.

Explore the winding streets, stone buildings, galleries, specialty shops and cafes in nearby villages, and experience market days when you can rub shoulders with the locals and become immersed in the culture of Provence. This gated property offers amenities for a luxurious vacation, including WiFi Internet, satellite TV, outdoor speakers and a media room.
