We had been looking for over a year for a house full of history to live in with our family. In 2008, we fell in love with this 18th century country house and its outbuildings (cisterns, sheepfold, stable).
Its architecture is typical of the Valensole plateau, with walls made of pebbles from the Durance laid with lime, plastered walls and fireplaces. Its restoration took us 8 years, with difficult moments but also the satisfaction of having given new life to a piece of history...
The space
On Valensole table, famous for its lavander fields, in the heart of Haute-Provence, in the Parc Naturel Régional du Verdon, 45 minutes from the sea and an hour from the mountain, we welcome you all year in our 18th century country house, listed in the general inventory of monuments and art treasures of France.
Surrounded by 120 hectares of truffle, the Clos de la Tuilerie is located on the edge of the hamlet of Saint-Grégoire, on the old road of transhumance (draille) herds of Arles.
Calm, authenticity and panoramic views stretching from the Sainte-Baume in Dévoluy Verdon and the Luberon characterize this unique place. You will have the opportunity to go to the discovery of an often overlooked corner of Provence exceptional climate: more than 300 days of sunshine per year and a sky renowned for its purity, a paradise for amateur astronomers.
Guests can relax in the garden or by the pool, playing numerous sports (hiking, cycling, horseback riding) or cultural immediate vicinity of the deposit.
