Located on the outskirts of the typical Provencal village of Ventabren, overlooking the local mill, you will find La Roucoulade. A quiet and poetic place, with an old bastide which was completely renovated by the French owners, Clémence and Guillaume, and transformed into a private house and a charming gîte for 4 people.

The gîte is tastefully decorated whereby authentic elements (such as the old tile floor) and antique pieces are harmoniously combined with art deco furniture and contemporary details. Soft tones on the walls and colorful decorations (we love the small wall dishes in the living room) create a warm and homely ambiance.There are 2 bedrooms, one of which is a children's room with its own toys. In addition, there is a large open-plan living area with a kitchen and lounge/dining area with a unique 360-degree fireplace that can be enjoyed with a book or game on chilly spring and autumn evenings.

Outside, you will find an oasis of calm, with different areas to suit everyone's needs: a heated swimming pool (for hours of water fun), a large lawn, a jeu-de-boules court, and a shady dining table under the old hackberry trees for summer lunches and dinners.

Between the sea, green hills, and typical villages, La Roucoulade is a perfect home base for trips in the area. Stroll through the historic streets of the village of Ventabren, visit Aix-en-Provence, or drive (in 30 minutes) to the coastal lagoon 'Etang de Berre' with its beautiful beaches. Also, ask the owners for their favourite addresses and their extra services... Wine tastings, a private chef, delicious cold bites, but also a yoga teacher and massages can be arranged... They have thought of everything!

Great venue and great hostess with her family! We very much enjoyed our few days at la roucoulade. What I will never forget is how “complete” the venue was. Really everything you might need during your trip, especially with kids, is present. Much appreciated!

La Roucoulade is a very nice and cozy house, it really feels like home. We went during winter, and we really enjoyed our stay.
