Description
Ferme du Val is located between two picturesque villages, approximately 20 minutes by car from the cultural centre of Aix en Provence and 20 minutes from the Luberon. The building dates from the 18th century, a traditional stone "mas" which was originally the main farm serving the nearby Chateau. The house is situated in open countryside, within 25 acres of grounds. Both the house and the heated pool are enclosed within a walled garden creating a secluded and very private environment. The grey/green shuttered house is flanked by large "platane" trees creating shady areas.
The lawned gardens are on two levels, the lower with a large south facing terrace between the house and the pool. Here, one has the option of alfresco eating by the edge of the heated pool underneath the shade of an arbour covered with vines–the grapes are edible! Alternatively there is a second dining option outside–a terrace situated behind the house, bordered with flowers and herbs, with a large gas bbq. Pool–12m x 5m, heated, ozone treated, not chlorine, pool house with WC, shower and changing room.
The farm has been meticulously restored and is full of many beautiful Provencal antiques and paintings whilst providing elegant, spacious and comfortable accommodation with the benefits of a fully equipped modern kitchen. The many facilities include Satellite TV/DVD, WIFI / telephone and mp3 speakers. Furthermore the house lends itself very well to an out of season holiday with the benefits of full central heating, open fireplace and heated swimming pool. Ample garaging, BBQ, Table Tennis and Boules. Sleeps 14 people very comfortably.

Just to say thank you for a lovely week we had at Ferme du Val. The moment both families arrived we all said ‘how perfect’ just what was wanted. We had a great week, the Mistral blew for a couple of days but luckily not too long and the temperature definitely dropped after day two but lovely blue skies and sun prevailed so a happy time was had. Caroline 2018
I am just writing to say what a wonderful time we had. We absolutely loved your house. In fact, we all agreed it is the nicest house that we have stayed in, in the 8 years we have been going on holiday together. Isobel 2017
We have just returned from our extended break in Provence and wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed our stay in Ferme du Val. The house exceeded all our expectations - it is simply wonderful in every regard. What an extraordinary "home" you have created and what a joy to spend a week in it. We hope to return next year. Lydia 2014
Everyone was delighted with the house which was the perfect setting for our party as well as the rest of the week with our family. Your guardians were very helpful – Lee 2015
We had a fantastic stay. It is a great house with a beautiful garden and terrasse. Everthing we needed was there. Swimming pool was heated (quite important for the kids). No negative comments whatsoever. It was top and we had a terrific time – Pieter 2011
We have enjoyed every moment of our stay at Ferme du Val. I cannot think of any negative comment. Even the weather was perfect. We are recommending the place to others. We may come back ourselves – Yaron 2011
We all really enjoyed ourselves at Ferme du Val. We had a wonderful time in Provence and the villa played an important part in making our vacation so memorable. Thank you – Lisa 2011
I just wanted to say thank you. We had an absolute ball, it was such a special moment to share with the whole family in your beautiful home. We all really appreciated the gesture of having some nice chilled wine upon arrival! It's always a bit scary to book something online and not actually see it but the property delivered 100%. I know that the Americans amongst us are already talking about sending it to friends who are always looking for such places so who knows... From the booking to the last day ,everything was made very easy for us and we appreciated that. - Bruno 2011
We had very high expectations for our stay in Provence, and somehow our stay at Valmousse exceeded those expectations. It was truly like a dream that we never wanted to wake up from. We won't repeat everything the other reviews and the listing say about the place, except to confirm that all the good things are true. A few things that we would like to highlight based on our own experience: 1. The house somehow fits well for any group size. We are a family of four, and it did not feel overwhelming. At times during our stay we had many visitors (up to 14 at one time), and it all worked just fine (and we even felt like we had enough space to ourselves when needed). 2. Both the owners and the caretakers are delightful and conscientious people. It was a true pleasure to get to know them a bit. 3. The house has all kinds of interesting and beautiful touches, such as artwork and antiques. Very unusual for a rental property. 4. There are lovely, peaceful trails for walking and mountain biking starting from the property. 5. Lambesc has a surprising amount of commercial and leisure activities to offer. So while Valmousse is very much in the countryside, you don't have to go far to find what you need. For example, if you are into tennis, Lambesc has an outstanding and very active tennis club with seven courts. 6. For what it's worth, our family all agreed that the house has a very positive spirit to it, for lack of a better word. Some old places feel creepy, but Valmousse is the opposite--you can sense the timelessness and history, but it feels comfortable and welcoming. Enjoy! - Martha B 2018
This is a beautiful, historic, well equipped and maintained house set in the middle of the countryside. We happily walked to the picturesque local town (40 mins) most days and did a lot of very beautiful cycling, including Ventoux (about 1 hour away by car). Daniel, the on site caretaker, was a fabulous asset and who was discrete and unobtrusive, and who went out of his way to help us. He made sure that the house was accessible for a wheelchair with tailor made ramps. All the arrangements were smooth and without fuss. There were good dining spaces inside and out, and a great kitchen too. A lovely week for 14 people in considerable comfort and space. James 2018
