Peaceful Solar-Powered Cabin in the Heart of the Luberon, Provence

Description

On the heights of the Luberon Regional Natural Park,
Your refuge — nestled in a small clearing — offers you a bucolic setting to savor the delights of the South and the unique landscapes of the small Provençal hills of the Luberon.

SPACE
Set in a small clearing on the property of Olivia, your host and farmer-harvester of aromatic plants, the refuge includes all the comforts within 10 perfectly optimized square meters for an immersive experience in nature:

SLEEPING AREA
A queen-size bed (160x200 cm) for 2 adults, with an XL panoramic view of the surrounding nature
Ceiling fan to keep you cool (no air conditioning)
Blinds
The bed is made up on arrival

GOOD TO KNOW
The refuge is set in nature and is completely self-sufficient: electricity is generated by solar panels, the kitchen and heating run on gas, and running water is stored in a tank. You have all the usual comforts, but the idea of an alternative habitat is also to become aware of your environmental impact!

As such, a few rules apply during your stay:
Apart from phones and laptops, do not plug in any other electrical devices than those provided — doing so could damage the solar system. This means you cannot use a hairdryer, straightener, or raclette grill, for example.
Because of the high fire risk in natural surroundings, it is strictly forbidden to smoke in or around the refuge, or to light any flames (no barbecues).
Wastewater is filtered by plants — please use only the 100% natural products provided (shower gel, dish soap).
Pets are not allowed in the refuge.

ACCESS
Check-in: from 4:00 PM
Check-out: before 10:00 AM
A key box is available for late arrivals.
Free parking is available near the refuge.

NOTES
The refuge is located on your host Olivia’s small farm, where she works daily. You may see her around during your stay.

There is no Wi-Fi in the cabin.

The entrance to the refuge is not at ground level and has a small 3-step staircase. The accommodation is not suitable for people with reduced mobility (PRM).

Bed linen is washed but not ironed.

We immerse you in extraordinary adventures, close to local people and their surroundings.

Our concept? We build beautiful eco-lodges and install them for free with friendly hosts who want to welcome travelers right in the heart of their regions, passions, and local treasures.

Our ambition is to install 1,000 refuges with 1,000 amazing hosts all over the world (Antarctica included!).
