Overview
Description
For rent, “Les Alouettes” is a beautiful single story stone villa in Malaucène, Vaucluse, Provence. Although originally built as a Berger (a shepherd’s home) it has been totally restored to become the charming and comfortable home, in the spirit of Provence, that it is today. It has a professionally maintained large private garden and an alarmed free-form swimming pool.The house is located a few hundred meters from the centre of the town with its shops, boulangeries and a dozen restaurants. It is also beside the town park which has a lake, a good work-out course and municipal tennis courts, all with the beautiful background of the mountains at the foot of Mont Ventoux. The property has a side entrance to the municipal car park leading up to the town, with all its facilities, by foot 200 meters.
The owner now lives independently at the far end of the large villa. The terrace has a trellis, one side offers a larger area for guests, the other side a smaller area for the owner.

After, if you need her, you will be able to either send her an e-mail, or phone her or send her an SMS message; otherwise you will see her or her representative on departure

Leave ReviewPure relaxation and enjoyment in the heart of Provence
By By the Tack family from Germany Trier Region on 03-Oct-2025The fully equipped holiday home, which has been renovated with a lot of heart and soul, impresses with its perfect location for hikes and bike tours around Mont Ventoux, as well as in the neighbouring wine regions on the Rhone. We were warmly welcomed by the hostess and received a lot of information about the area. The house and the large garden with a beautiful pool invite you to linger undisturbed. The town centre with many restaurants, shops and a weekly market can be reached on foot in a few minutes. We can warmly recommend Villa les Alouettes.
Les Alouettes has become our favorite place in France!
By Barbara Hyde, Rosemary, Carol and Anita on 04-Jun-2025Les Alouettes has become our favorite place in France! You are a most thoughtful land generous host. Every moment of our stay here has been delightful. The location is ideal, an easy short walk to town, with its shops and many fine restaurants. An added plus are all the wineries close by, and we certainly enjoyed the wonderful Rhone wines. We can't wait to come back, hopefully l'annee prochaine. Keep well. We will think of you often. Best wishes for all good things.

By Olivier on 19-Aug-2025I didn't want to write this review before I made sure that I could rent it the following year. Too afraid that someone would book before we had a chance. This says it all. Amazing place, fantastic host, great surroundings. If there were a possibility to give 11/10 I would. the family loved it and we all agreed we couldn't possibly think of going elsewhere :-) Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Maria, for making us feel at home.
