We have stayed here many times, it is simply wonderful, the new outdoor kitchen adds a fabulous outdoor experience with the vineyards and mountains as a backdrop. We already booked for next year.
A beautiful property! Ensuites for everyone. Large entertaining spaces, fully equipped gourmet kitchen. The pool and surrounds are beautiful and pétanque, table tennis and tennis to keep everyone amused after visiting the beautiful sights of Provence. Everyone so helpful .
Terry et Lumiere is meets and exceeds the owner’s description of the property. We were a total of 12 family members and the home accommodated all of us comfortably and allowed for all to feel we had our own space. The 6 bedrooms/6.5 bathrooms came in very handy. There were many days where we enjoyed the pool and the kitchen is well equipped and ready for those who like to cook. The grounds are beautiful and kept up very nicely. Location of the home is also central to the most beautiful villages in Provence.
We are already planning our next visit!
Terre et Lumieres is a wonderful property. The house is spacious and very well equipped, the pool is great for a refreshing dip or to swim a few lengths. For us, the highlight of the property is the wonderful grounds, which are tastefully lit up at night, and which feature a separate “summer kitchen”. We hope to visit again soon!
What a beautiful home! The owners are very helpful and pleasant. Everything was so nice. The location is the best. Close to everything. Charm at every turn. Highly recommended!
A beautiful, well-appointed home in a tranquil setting. The home, accommodations, and grounds are superb as are the property manager (Pauline) and staff. They made us feel extremely welcome and were responsive and knowledgeable in addressing all of our needs.. The home is well situated to support visits to local wineries, olive groves, and the hill towns of Provence. My family and I have visited numerous locations in both the U.S. and Europe and rank this property as one of the very best. I fully endorse this property, its owner, and management team. If you're looking for a relaxing vacation in a beautiful setting this property is a great selection.
We stayed three weeks at "Terre et Lumiere" and had the most wonderful family time. The house is so pleasant to be in, well equipped for cooking and very spacious. At one point we were eight of us and didn't feel crowded. The house is elegantly decorated and the garden is a delight. So many different places to sit and enjoy the light and the birds. The outdoor kitchen is spectacular with superb lighting at night. A big thank you to Pauline and Madelyn who were so responsive to our needs. We recommend "Terre et Lumiere" to whoever wants to discover the Luberon and return to such a peaceful place.
I read this reviews to ensure that my investment and choice for my family’s vacation will be a good one. You shouldn’t have a single reservation about booking this gorgeous home. It exceeded our expectations in every way. It is comfortable and spacious - allowing two families with different aged children to have their space, but to come together when we wanted. The grounds, the pool and the home are magical. The team that met us were warm, generous, accommodating and responsive answering our random questions (restaurants, shops, markets) almost immediately. I truly couldn’t have asked for more. The home is also perfectly situated to visit many of the towns that make Provence an incredible destination. It is also a 7 min drive to an incredible bakery Patisserie Lyse. Seriously, don’t hesitate. You won’t regret it.
Fantastic! It was just perfect. The house is special and comfortable.
We loved our stay at Terre et Lumiere. It’s a special place. I have high expectations for rental houses and this met our expectations. Pool, house, terrace, outdoor kitchen, outdoor dining were all fantastic. Thank you to the owner and property manager for their wonderful accommodations and services. We had an amazing time and the proximity to Gordes and other areas of the Luberon was fantastic. We will definitely recommend it to others. Thank you!
The house is great. Architecture very impressive and all details thought about carefully. Pool very good and outdoor sitting dining very good. My only small issue would be that the dining table inside is enormous - seating more than the house can sleep. We didn't need to use it as we could eat outside in early September it but it would be hard to make it work well for a snaller group as it is so wide.
Dominique (propert manager) was very patient and helpful with our Covid testing queries but some of the email exchange about chef arrangements went a bit awry. I'm sure she is very busy and I know we were asking for lots of things! Very nice meet and greet though. Nadia cooked us a lovely anniversary dinner.
For such a classy property I think more could be done to make pre-arrival shopping and first night meal a standard option so users don't have to worry on their first day. It felt a bit like we were trying to sort this out for the first time.
Overall very nice stay. Thank you.
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans ce mas provençal. Tout était parfait, propreté, calme, décoration, services, tennis à proximité... un vrai petit paradis que nous recommandons vivement.
Un grand merci à Dominique (l'intendante) pour sa disponibilité, nous n'hésiterons pas à revenir.
An amazing property, absolutely perfect inside and out for 2 families of 4. Pool house was a real bonus and gave my teenage daughter a bit of space for herself. The outdoor kitchen and gardens are really special and lift it above your average holiday home. The location is great with plenty of excellent restaurants nearby. As a keen road cyclist there is some fantastic cycling on your door step including Ventoux. Most importantly Patrick was incredibly flexible in the lead up with all the uncertainty caused by Covid and while we were there Dominique answered all our questions and made things very straightforward.
We had a Wonderfull stay at Gordes with our children and grand-son. A perfect family house well equipped. Remy and Caroline who helped where necessary . A beautiful region with a lot of things to do : walking, cycling, visiting local markets, Gordes, chateau Lacoste, winery's .....
We had the most wonderful time staying in this property which is located within a few miles of Gordes (close enough that you can see Gordes up on the hill in the distance from the property). The property is very well equipped with everything you could possibly need. It is beautifully furnished and very well maintained. A lot of thought has clearly gone in to designing the property and the beautiful gardens (including its own lavender field and olive grove) which our two young children (9 and 7) really enjoyed exploring. We also loved the fact that you can see the pool from almost everywhere in the villa making it very handy when you need to keep an eye on children in the pool.
Remy and Caroline, the property managers, were also wonderful. Very friendly and quick to deal with any questions or issues we had, as well as great at recommending some fun things for us to do as a family in the local area. We have stayed in some lovely villas over the years and this ranks among the very best of them. We would be delighted to have the opportunity to return again at some point in the future.
We had a magnificent week in this beautiful villa. The set up is beautiful. We were just a family of five, therefore we didn’t need the pool house bedroom. It is ideal for another couple or a family or even some teenagers. All is very well maintained. During our stay we had an issue with the pool which was immediately addressed by Remy and Caroline. A plus is the possibility to use the tennis courts of the village. Gordes with all it’s perfect views and restaurants is just a short a drive away. Email contact with Patrick the owner and Remy the manager was easy and pleasant. All together a perfect week! We are looking forward to come back.
Our group of three families visited Villa Lumiere in July 2019 and it exceeded our expectations in every way! It's spacious and tastefully decorated with custom furniture & art. The location was ideal; close to Bonnieux, Gordes, Lourmarin, LaCoste, and L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue. There are numerous restaurants and wineries within a short drive and the town of Les Imberts is walkable and quaint.
The modern bedrooms all have very comfortable beds, linens, and pillows. Each has a lovely en suite bathroom with plush towels, and great AC units. We were very thankful for the AC units working so well as our visit was in the midst of a heatwave!
The property is gated and just inside is a beautiful olive tree lined drive leading to a garden of lavender and other large trees and shrubs surrounding the villa and vineyards. There was even a small pond in the front with a giant frog! The pool area is spacious and there is plenty of seating and shade. The kids really loved the sunning shelf in the pool as well as running in the grassy yard and playing ping pong.
We enjoyed the services of two villa endorsed chefs during our stay; Frederic and Yvan. Both were outstanding! On nights we didn't have the chef we enjoyed cooking in the large kitchen. It's super well equipped with two sinks, two refrigerators, many modern appliances, plenty of silverware, dishes, glassware, etc. The washer & dryer both worked well!
We mostly self toured the area with the exception of one organized/chauffeured wine tour north near Avignon in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape region. Highly recommend the knowledgable Mike of Wine Safari. He shared his love of the region and wines in a fun and interesting way.
Leading up to our stay we had several interactions with the owner, Patrick, and the property managers, Remy & Caroline. All three of them were exceptionally helpful and prompt in their correspondence. We were greeted by Remy & Caroline when we arrived and they could not have been a more pleasant and friendly couple offering many wonderful suggestions for where to eat, shop, sightsee, etc. They are the kind of people with whom you'd like to sit down and chat with for hours over a nice glass of wine!
Our week at the Villa was simply superb in every way!
Everything about our stay was wonderful! The property itself is breathtaking - beautiful home and gardens. The location is great as well. Close enough to town to be convenient, but far enough to be quiet and peaceful. Remy and Caroline were so kind and helpful! We will definitely be back!
Our stay at Villa Terre et Lumière this summer was quite simply the best.
We have been visiting Provence with our family and friends for the last 7 years and everything about this visit was fantastic. We have stayed in 5 different houses, and this was certainly the best.
The house itself is spacious, well thought out, practically designed, extremely comfortable, and we loved the mix of French and Asian art and furniture. Under floor cooling keeps the house comfortable and at a perfect temperature. The kitchen is well appointed with ample supplies of cutlery, crockery and cooking appliances, a joy for those who love cooking as we do.
The grounds are peaceful, well kept and extensive. Bamboo planting means that we were not even aware of nearby houses.
The managers Remy and Caroline were a godsend. Personable, kind, considerate, enthusiastic and able to sort any problem quickly and very efficiently.
We love this area and have stayed many times, but this really was our favourite, thank you!
Excellent stay near Gordes. The property is top notch: very well equipped with quality furniture, great appliances, efficient air conditioning. Very welcoming check-in process.
The property is extremely well maintained and very accurately described on the VRBO site.
Many games (indoor and outdoor) are available.
Very well located to discover the Luberon
Beautiful, well equipped villa. Remy was incredibly helpful and helped arrange in home massages, delivery of bicycles and a visiting chef who cooked us a fabulous meal. We'll be back.
