Le Collectionneur

About this listing

With something new and interesting around every turn, this recently renovated sixteenth-century inn merges Old World architecture with a cutting-edge contemporary design. Situated in the heart of the Luberon Valley, just four-hundred meters from L’Isle sur le Sorgue train station, you’ll have no trouble navigating your way around Provence from Le Collectionneur’s central location. During your stay, you’ll certainly notice the Sorgue River flowing past the base of this luxurious townhouse, and on through the beautiful town of L’isle sur la Sorgue, where you’ll fall in love with the local bakeries, cafes, restaurants, and breathtaking scenery.

Le Collectionneur’s unique layout and eclectic decor may take you a few days to fully experience. Each common space, bedroom, and bathroom has its own exciting atmosphere, decorated with a unique collection of the highest caliber of modern art and designer furniture. However, with ancient stone accent walls and exposed wood beams, you’ll feel the authentic age and wisdom of this former inn. And, to make sure you have plenty of relaxing options, Le Collectionneur is outfitted with a current pool on the ground floor, a hot tub on the terrace, and if you’re feeling adventurous, the Sorgue River is a great way to cool off in the summer.

Throughout the villa’s rooftop and multi-leveled terrace, you’ll find several more furnished lounge areas, alfresco dining space, an outdoor kitchen, and a beautiful solarium. Back inside, you and your guests will appreciate state of the art appliances in the kitchen, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, a fireplace, and five en-suite bedrooms.

To visit the source of the Sorgue, flow the river upstream to the town of Fontaine-de-Vaucluse, where you’ll find one of the largest and most powerful resurgent springs in the World. Located in an enclosed valley at the mouth of a cave with soaring cliffs and a ruined castle surrounding it, this spring is quite the site. While you’re in Fontaine-de-Vaucluse, stop in at Chez Dominque or Restaurant Philip, two of the best restaurants in town, and perfect for a romantic meal after a day of sightseeing.
