Vacation Rental Description
 
La Grande Terre is a typical 18th Century Provencal 'Mas' (traditional farmhouse). The property which is over two hundred years old has recently been renovated and lovingly restored and has been decorated with style, elegance and traditional antiques and beautiful furniture chosen with care and good taste. The house is perfectly situated with south facing, uninterrupted views of Bonnieux, Lacoste and the Luberon mountains. 
Outside 
The house is beautifully set in seven acres and surrounded by vines, lavender and cherry orchards. There is plenty of room around the south-facing pool to sunbathe and relax and good facilities for barbeque and al fresco eating. If you are an early visitor, the poppy fields are quite stunning thereafter the lavender takes over and perhaps sunflowers and of course the omnipresent vines! The swimming pool measuring 10 x 5 metres, is brand new and completely private and for the use of the house only and has a safety cover for children. There is a good bbq, large dining table, boules, and table tennis. There are other 'quieter' terraces providing shade for reading and relaxing or taking an aperitif.

Distances 
The bustling town of Apt is 10 mins drive away and the Saturday morning market is a must! Avignon is about 45 mins by car and is the historic 'Papal City'. Aix en Provence is approximately 45 to 50 minutes away by car and is well worth a visit, there are great shops masses of cafes and restaurants and so much to see. Just wander through the leafy streets and you will enjoy this city with its abundance of fountains, we think it's like a mini Paris! 
 
 
Roussillon, world famous for it's ochre, still mined today, is 3 mins away by car or a pleasant walk up the hill! Bonnieux, on the other side is approx 7 mins drive. The house is centrally located for easy access to the 'Pearls' of the Luberon (the gorgeous and picturesque hilltop villages). It takes 20 mins by car to L'Ille sur la Sorge, famous for it's Sunday antique and bricabrac market, where one can wander and watch and marvel at the eclectic mix of both goods for sale and people!! Then sit by the Sorge and relax in one of the multitude of restaurants and bars and watch the world go by. There is so much to see and do here in the beautiful Luberon Park.... or just do nothing and drink it all in. Succour for the soul! 
There are plenty of ATM machines around. Everything one could require is available in Apt. Roussillon and Bonnieux have boulangeries and lots of interesting shops of many different kinds and each has a Post Office. Doctors and Pharmacy are available in both villages. 
There are also lots of restaurants and bars in each village ranging from the bar tabac to gourmet style, serving all tastes and requirements. 
There are many local Chateaux or Caves around in the area where one can freely taste an amazing variety of wines from very high quality to 'plonk'. And of course the Famous Chateau Canorgue, where the Film 'A Good Year' was filmed, the wine here is excellent. 
Markets are held each week in a selection of villages close by. Walking, cycling and nearby golf. For the more adventurous, a magnificent trip in a hot air balloon can be arranged! 
Provence provides a constant stream of satisfaction for the senses - in particular, sight, scent and taste. A magical, soft yet clear light illuminates the extraordinary contrasts of nature. One is surrounded by the sweetness of local fruit ripened in the sun, the freshness of rose` wines and the plethora of creamy goats cheese. The balmy air is scented with wild rosemary, sage, pine and lavender - paradise!
