About this property

Lovely restored farmhouse in Provence surrounded by sunflowers & vineyards

Old charming stone house in Provence, Drome Provencale, the country of lavender and sunflowers. The house is surrounded by fields of sunflowers, wheat, and vineyards. About 1 km away from the charming little village of St Gervais sur Roubion. This old farm is built of 4 buildings wrapped around a courtyard, and surrounded by a luscious garden with magnificent fruit trees and flowers. The courtyard provides shade and protection from the occasional wind. In the South, a terrace and pergola offer a beautiful setting for lunch and dinners al fresco overlooking the fields.
The house has 3 bedrooms on 2 floors, and can comfortably sleep 6 to 8 people.
The downstairs bedroom has a double bed. One of the upstairs bedroom has a double bed and a single bed, and the second upstairs bedroom has a double bed and 2 single beds.
The house has a large bathroom with a bathtub and sink, as well as a washing machine. There is, on the same floor, a separate shower, and a half bathroom.
The kitchen is well equipped including oven and stove, microwave, dishwasher, and a large farm table for 8. It opens onto the living room which is very comfortable, and has a large stone fireplace around which to sit.
The house is equipped for children, with games, swings, bicycles, and a lot to explore. It is a peaceful and romantic spot decorated with exquisite taste in the luscious Provencal tradition.
One of the buildings has been arranged as a separate house where one of the owner, Virginie Souquet, lives yearlong with her 3 dogs. We refer to this building as "the little house". It opens onto a separate area of the garden, respecting the total privacy and quiet of the main house. The dogs are peaceful and calm and live in an enclosed area in front of the little house which gives them no access to the rest of the property. The resident of the "little house" travels often and is not always there, but when present, she is a great resource of information on things to do and see in the region, and is happy to answer any question.

The house is owned by the Souquet family whose members live or have lived in France, the USA, Latin America and Africa. Every year, we all gather in the house to share family moments, recharge batteries and share some of the treasures the region has to offer.
We have chosen not to install the internet in the house but you can easily turn your cell phone into a hot spot or go to the local café who offers free internet access.

The charm of old stones and the peacefulness of the area made us fall in love with the house. The region is beautiful, easily accessible and conveniently situated to provide access to the countryside, the mountains and the sea within a couple of hours.

Mas ancien
Maison très ancienne sans vis-à-vis, proche du village, au calme, dans la verdure. La cour intérieure et la terrasse permettent de vivre dehors dans un cadre bucolique et apaisant. Sans l'être, puisque l'hôtesse accueillante, disponible et discrète vit tout près, nous avons eu l'agréable sensation d'être seuls au monde. Nous y retournerons volontiers. Emplacement idéal pour partir à la découverte des villages perchés de la Drôme.

L'isolement recherché!
Nous cherchions une maison isolée, pour échapper à la foule et aux grosses chaleurs: c'est exactement ce que nous avons trouvé à la Lauze! Cachée dans un petit bosquet, on devine à peine la villa depuis la route. Petits villages aux alentours avec tout ce qu'il faut (supermarché, pharmacie, marchés...). La maison est fraîche est agréable en été, très bien équipée et le jardin est très agréable et ombragé. Les 3 chambres sont chouettes et joliment décorées. La communication avec nos hôtesses s'est très bien déroulée avant et pendant le séjour. Merci à Virginie pour sa disponibilité, ses conseils et sa totale discrétion (bien qu'habitant sur place, à aucun moment nous n'avons eu l'impression de vivre sur une propriété partagée!) et surtout un grand merci pour nous avoir permis de quitter la maison aussi tard (les locataires suivants n'arrivant pas tout de suite). Nous recommandons la Lauze sans hésiter!

Excellent séjour, maison très agréable et région magnifique
Vacances familiales réussies au sein d’une très belle et grande maison au charme provençal. Le séjour a été parfait, chacun bénéficiait d’une vraie place et d’un espace de liberté. L’extérieur est tout aussi agréable permettant d’y prendre ses repas facilement. La cuisine est grande et pratique. La région est sublime et mériterait d’être découverte encore et encore. Un remerciement particulier pour la propriétaire discrète et toujours disponible, prête à rendre service. Très bonnes et belles vacances dans un lieu de grande qualité.

Wonderfully authentic home in great rural setting
We spent a wonderfully relaxing week exploring this amazing area of France surrounded by pretty mountain villages and river gorges in the middle of Rhone valley in northern Provence. The house was perfectly equipped for an authentic French experience, with plenty of indoor and outdoor spaces to enjoy. Nearby villages offer an array of modern and traditional fare and culture, including Market days and local festivals. We were within easy driving of some of the most unspoiled and dramatic countryside as well as historic areas and larger cities. I will definitely return to this region again and stay at this fantastic family homestead which is the perfect base for get away from it all holiday.

Wonderful, wonderful !
The place is a treasure. Nestled in a part of Provence that isn't troubled by tourist throngs, "La Lauze was great getaway for our family. The layout provided a perfect combination of togetherness and privacy; the architecture an intriguing mix of ancient and modern; very clean and well-maintained; owners are relaxed and welcoming. Close to shopping, bakery, cafe, etc. I can easily recommend this place.

About the host

Hosted by Marjolaine Souquet

Host profile image
The house is owned by the Souquet family which includes:
Francine, the matriarch, a retired nurse who worked, after a full career in operating rooms, around the world for Doctors without Borders and now lives in Lyon.
Virginie, a dancer, yoga teacher and sophrologist who lives yearlong in "the little house".
Armelle, a painter specializing in restoration work, living in Lyon with her 2 daughters.
Marjolaine, an Executive for National Geographic Channel International living outside of Washington DC, USA, with her 2 sons.
We all love and care for the house and get together for family gatherings in the house whenever possible.

Why they chose this property

Our family has always had strong ties to Provence. Our grand-parents lived close by and many relatives have settled in the region, from Marseille to Gap and Lyon.
Francine had always dreamed of a large and old house to root the family and was able to purchase the property just before retiring. Whenever possible, the extended family from France, the USA, Gabon, Switzerland and Colombia gathers for a week or 2 to bond, catch up, and work on the house.

What makes this property unique

The charm of old stones and the peacefulness of the area made us fall in love with the house. The region is beautiful, easily accessible and conveniently situated to provide access to the countryside, the mountains and the sea within a couple of hours.
