On average, this region is blessed with more hours of sunshine than any other part of France! It also enjoys the status of a national park, where building is practically prohibited and where most houses are built of the characteristic local sandstone (‘en pierre’). Famous area because of Peter Mayle's books (A year in the Provence).

Facilities  
After a three-year period of restoration of the buildings and grounds, 'Les Roullets' is today considered one of the most beautiful domains in the area. Persons who appreciate a mixture of luxury and style - without an excess of frills and finery - in a historic setting, combining antique elements and modern conveniences, will certainly feel very much at home here.  

In addition to the wealth of opportunities available in the region, you are of course welcome to take a tour of the grounds, including a 700 year old oak tree, a medieval washing place, and an underground flight of stairs leading to an irrigation system from the Roman era. You can also make use of the various strategically located seating arrangements offering beautiful views of the countryside. In addition to the vineyard (producing a biological AOC Côte de Luberon Rouge), the estate contains a fruit orchard, olive orchards and wooded areas.  

Due to its unique location (offering a circular 360° view), the main building served as an ‘oppidum’ (small garrison) during the Roman era; in the Middle Ages, during the religious wars that raged in this region between Catholics and Protestants, it served as a ‘mas fortifié’ (fortified farmstead).  

A heated swimming pool with pool house, an outdoor refrigerator with drinks, and large terraces with luxurious sun beds will help you pass the time away quite pleasantly. Wireless Internet is available. Guests also have exclusive access to a tree-lined courtyard surrounded by a wall and offering a view of the deserted village Oppède-le-Vieux.   The Dutch owners speak English, French, German, Italian and Spanish and focus on an international public. Aperitifs are frequently offered in the afternoon, and lunch or dinner is sometimes prepared for the guests.  

Rooms  
The 4 ample guestrooms are all located on the ground floor - each with its own private entrance, terrace and sitting area - and therefore offer the guests a great deal of privacy.  

The rooms are luxuriously and stylishly furnished with, among other facilities: double box spring beds, satellite TV with various international channels, bathroom with bath and/or shower + WC and bathrobes.
Three of the four rooms are equipped with air conditioning and bidet.     

Domaine les Roullets is close to the airports of Marseille and Nice and the trainstation of Avignon.
