About La Raffine

An authentic Provencal mas, in a 6000m2 terrain sprinkled with almond, olive & cherry trees, with a large stone pool & lovely views of the Luberon.   The original 18th century residence included a master house and a farm house joined by a pretty interior courtyard with a well for fresh water. Both houses, the courtyard and the original fortified wall enclosing a park with cherry, mulberry and acacia trees, are still much in evidence.  

We have kept the original structures including a huge log-burning stone fireplace, wood-burning stoves in the farm house and the original wood-beamed ceilings. The houses have been renovated and decorated with antiques and furniture/accessories designed by local artisans.

We added the pool, ‘boules court’, chestnut trees, an olive grove and lavender fields at the back of the property, keeping as close a possible to the original style of the property
