A Provençal Perch Overlooking Ventoux
Set on a hillside above a classic village in Provence, this home offers a tranquil retreat with sweeping, uninterrupted views of legendary Mont Ventoux. Conceived by its Belgian owners as an ideal regional escape, this home prioritizes its elevated position, using traditional forms and large windows not just for light, but to frame the immense landscape.
Inside, the atmosphere is bright and uncluttered, with cool tiled floors and a simple, neutral palette. Furnishings are contemporary and comfortable. The modern, well-equipped kitchen features Smeg appliances, while the living area is anchored by a fireplace for cooler evenings. Throughout the house, air conditioning provides a welcome respite from the summer heat.
Layout
The home’s three bedrooms are arranged off a central hall for privacy. A master bedroom includes an en-suite bathroom with both a tub and a walk-in shower, while two additional bedrooms—one with a king bed, one with a queen—share a second full bathroom. The kitchen and living spaces flow directly onto the main covered terrace, connecting the interior to the outdoors.
The property is organized around three terraces, each with a distinct purpose. The main covered terrace offers a shaded space for dining with a view of Mont Ventoux. A second terrace beside the 9-by-5-meter pool is designed for sunbathing and relaxation, while a third west-facing patio captures the last of the evening sun. The grounds include a petanque court and a small garden with herbs for cooking.
This vacation home for rent in Crillon-le-Brave sleeps up to six guests.

Around

The town of Bédoin (6km), a hub for cyclists tackling Mont Ventoux, holds a popular weekly market. For a wider selection of provisions and restaurants, the city of Carpentras is a 20-minute drive. The region is known for its vineyards, and the antique markets of L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue are less than 30 km away. A car is essential for exploring the area and its surrounding villages.
