Maison St Henri is a beautifully renovated and well equipped French house in a wonderful, small village with few of the tourists that swamp some of the neighbouring Provençal villages. That said, all essential amenities are on the doorstep; boulangeries, restaurants and a local shop and boucher. The house is within easy reach of Marseille and Avignon, and there are some gorgeous villages and walks with fabulous scenery to explore in the immediate vicinity - a great location overall.
The house itself is peaceful and very private, and has a number of seating areas for relaxation, and a beautiful pool. The beds are really comfortable and the bedrooms are en suite. The housekeeper was very accommodating and ensured our stay (as well as our arrival and departure) went as smoothly as possible. Booking through JDV was easy and efficient. Our party of four thoroughly enjoyed all it had to offer and we would definitely recommend it.
This is by far one of the best villas we have stayed in. The cleanliness of a place is a huge factor for me and I often find myself doing my own 'clean' after we arrive, but not here! It by far exceeded my expectations.
The location is perfect. It is situated in a peaceful, small village, within walking distance to the shops and local boulangerie for fresh morning pastries. Perfectly placed for touring the Petit Luberon and if you have a car, the whole of Provence and the South of France! In our two weeks the highlights of our trip were the villages of the Petit Luberon (Bonnieux, Lacoste, Gordes, Menerbes, Roussillon and Lourmarin were our favourites), the Verdon Gorge (or mini Grand Canyon) - we spent ages spotting the huge griffon vultures that circle up there, Lac St Croix & Lac D'Esparron, St-Remy-Detail-Provence, L'Isle Sur La Sorgue Sunday market and the whole of the French Riviera. We were actually for once torn between going sightseeing and staying in the wonderful villa, which is a first for us!
The garden is absolutely beautiful and adorned with lavender, white roses, olive trees and scented jasmine. It is completely private with a heated pool which was great for early morning or late evening swims.
The owners have thought of everything and it is the first villa we have stayed at where it feels truly home from home, with everything you require to hand.
I can't recommend this villa enough. I was reluctant to put this on as I didn't want to draw too much attention so it is then not available when we want to book it again!
If I could describe my dream home in Provence, this villa would be it!
Perfect in every way.
Stayed for week in September and where knocked out how nice this place is.would recommend ,we already looking at next year.
Truly outstanding
Maison St Henri is just a fabulous place. The house is very well-appointed and was very comfortable for our party of two couples (one in their 20s and the other on their 50s). The grounds are outstanding - very lush and picturesque. The village of Maubec is great to explore and has two lovely bakeries, a wonderful green grocer and a small, but well-stocked grocery store and butcher. It's location was close to everything we wanted to explore in the Vaucluse. The only issue was that we sometimes had to persuade ourselves to explore - our home base was so perfect that we wanted to stay put!

This is a lovely old house, carefully renovated, in a village located at the foot of the Luberon massif. It is very well equipped and has spacious private gardens and outdoor dining areas, and a good heated pool, with lots of high quality comfortable furniture. Excellent, and highly recommended.
