In the Luberon, this magnificent Hamlet with three buildings can accommodate 24 guests with its 10 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms with heated swimming pools , private tennis court and many splendid views.
Perched on the top of a hill with stunning views, the ancient hamlet of Treimars has been lovingly restored into luxurious holiday accommodation with attention to detail and respecting local traditions, crafts and materials.
The Hamlet “Le Vieux Chene” is surrounded by 40 hectares (98 acres) of grounds offering a 360° view over the Luberon hills and Lure Mountain.
This estate is in fact a small hamlet made up of three houses “La Maison Haute” and “La Maison Basse" are two adjoining buildings in the hamlet and let together along with a new property called “Le Mas” with a second private pool, Hot tub, Fitness room, Yoga room, Sauna and Hammam.
“La Maison Haute” has three bedrooms all en-suite, a very large kitchen/dining room, spacious living room with a fireplace and two furnished outside terraces to relax and admire the breath-taking views.
“La Maison Basse” just next door and independent has three bedrooms all en-suite, a kitchen with dining table and an outside terrace overlooking the pool.
“Le Mas” also next door and independent has four bedrooms all en-suite, a living room, large dining room, kitchen and an outside terrace with great views.
The restoration combines simplicity and luxury to create colourful and cosy accommodation in a Provencal farmhouse style.
In each house there are authentic wooden beams to the ceiling and charming tiled floors or old former wooden floors. Loving attention has been given to the interior decor, rich fabrics, refined bathrooms, varnished terra-cotta tiles, classic taps and faucets, antique objects hunted down in the environs, embroidered linens, Provencal tableware, etc.
Maison Haute:
On the ground floor, there is a fully equipped, very charming Provencal kitchen with an American fridge, 2 sinks, many cupboards, big oven, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, coffee machine, and dining table sitting 8 guests. A large living room, with open fireplace, sofas, TV, DVD player, adjoins the kitchen. This is a very quiet and peaceful area, ideal to relax. From there, a small corridor with guest WC leads to a very spacious double bedroom with full en-suite bathroom and sitting area. A second double bedroom is on this floor; this one is with a full en-suite bathroom too and has been arranged with very old and beautiful furniture.
There is also a laundry room with washing machine, dryer and iron on this floor.
In the living room narrow stairs with low beams lead to the master bedroom on the first floor. This suite is very large and has beautiful beams on the ceiling and an old wooden floor. Please note that this bedroom might not be adapted for elderly guests because of the staircase.
Maison Basse:
From the small entrance hall, with guest WC, on the ground floor there is, to the right, a very big and luminous kitchen with many cupboards, American fridge, oven, toaster, coffee machine, 2 sinks, TV and dining table sitting 6 guests. The kitchen opens onto a large terrace with a charming view and 2 outdoor dining tables: one for 10 guests and the other for 6 guests.
A double bedroom is accessible from the entry hall too. This bedroom has an en-suite shower room but there isn't toilet in it, thus guests sleeping there may use the guest WC in the hall.
An outdoor staircase, just beside the entrance door, leads upstairs to 2 double bedrooms both with full en-suite bathroom and wooden beams.
La Mas:
Has four spacious en-suite bedrooms on the first floor and on the ground floor a living room, large dining room, kitchen and an outside terrace with great views.

The gardens, preserve the charm of the country surrounding country side. Between the houses is a terrace with a pergola and Virginia creeper, where a dining table can be added if desired.
There is two large heated swimming pool with electric cover and near the pool there is a shelter for pool's equipment with a ping-pong table, and a pétanque court near by. Both the swimming pool areas and pétanque court offer exceptional views over the surrounding countryside.
The tennis court sits discreetly away from the house, in the shade of the Scotch pines.
'Le Vieux Chêne' is a very calm and peaceful place.
Simiane-la-Rotonde, the "city of character", is the closest village 5 km and is considered as being one of the loveliest hill-top villages in 'Haute Provence'. Thanks to its high altitude (600-700 m), the village enjoys some cool respite from the blazing hot summer sun. For many years, Simiane was the regional capital of lavender and remains an important production centre today. A traditional music festival takes place each summer from mid-July to mid-August.
Also Banon, the village made famous by its goat cheese wrapped in dried chestnut leaves and tied with a raffia ribbon, is located 9 km away.
Each Saturday morning there is a large market in Apt, a bustling town, it’s colourful Saturday market and attractive old town is a must. There are also several large supermarkets ideal for the big shop !. You will find some good restaurants here too. Slightly further afield but still only a relatively short drive are Avignon and Aix en Provence, both of which would make wonderful day trips.
