The owners have superbly decorated with taste, tenderness and passion, offering a very comforting welcome for all guests.
The kitchen is fully equipped with the finest conveniences and also full of charm, inviting you or a chef to enjoy the preparation of every meal.
The beds and linens are of very high quality, as detailed comfort is of upmost priority here. Four bedrooms are found within the main house, as well as an added small room beyond the kitchen for a single nanny or teenager.
The "Petite Maison" is accessed by outdoor entrance, and is ideal for a couple who want a bit more space and privacy, or for a small family with younger children who can sleep in the open loft. It is equipped with its own small kitchen and private bath.
On the front terrace of the house, guests are awed by the expansive views, as well as the landscaped garden which seems to stretch to the Luberon mountains ahead of you. A large pool and pristine private tennis court put the finishing touches on the property.
Enjoy a short 20-minute walk to the local village of Cabrieres d'Avignon for a visit to the bakery, butcher or small grocer; or a beautiful 1-hour hike up to the village of Gordes. Walking paths are detailed in the house book upon arrival.

Villa Rental:
This is the second time we have booked a villa through Only Provence, and it was just as excellent as the first. Mas des Imberts offered everything we wanted, in a stunning location. The people—bike rentals, chefs, housekeeping, arrival & departure, and the Only Provence team—were easy to work with, and no surprises. A wonderful experience for our group of eight!
Tours:
Via Only Provence, we rented bikes for a week from Hubert, and were delighted with his service. He came when he said he would; the road bikes, the hybrid bikes and the e-bike were good quality; and Hubert provided helpful advice on routes. We would highly recommend him.

This beautiful property is located halfway from the villages of Cabrieres d'Avignon and Gordes. This location is within easy reach of the villages of the Lubéron so adored by travel writers, among them Ménerbes, Lacoste, Goult, Bonnieux and Roussillon. Beaumettes and Coustellet, small villages with a variety of shops and small supermarkets, are less than ten minutes by car. The property is likewise well located for excursions beyond the Lubéron. Aix-en-Provence lies to the south, the Cote du Rhone wine-producing region to the north, and the villages and restaurants of the Alpilles region to the southwest. The historic town of L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, once a center of the Provençal silk trade and now home to more than 200 antiques dealers and Provence's best-known open-air market, is a drive of less than 15 minutes away.
Getting here:
The easiest way to get to Inland Provence from the US is to fly to Marseilles International Airport (MRS). If you would like to see Paris, fly to Charles de Gaulle Airport then connect directly to the TGV(high speed train) from CDG TGV2 to Avignon TGV(3 hours direct) and rent a car. You would plan to see Paris on the way back, taking the TGV from Avignon TGV to Gare de Lyon, getting a cab to your hotel in the city.

The remaining one-half (50%) of the Rental Fee is due 60 days before the arrival date, and is also non-refundable. If reservations are made less than 60 days prior to the arrival date, then 100% of the Rental Fee must be paid upon the signing of the Rental Agreement. Please know that a failure to pay any portion of the Rental Fee as set forth above and in Rental Agreement can result in loss of the reservation of the villa and a termination of the Rental Agreement. We will confirm receipt of each payment and note any outstanding balance and due date(s).

Failure to pay the final balance (which is due 60 days before arrival) or provide required information for the security deposit may be deemed a cancellation with no refund due. Clients are advised to consider Trip Cancellation Insurance with the carrier of their choice at the time of confirmation.
