Les Olivettes offers spacious accommodations in a luxuriously renovated farmhouse in the Luberon. The house comprises four double suites each with a terrace, a large living/dining room with a cathedral ceiling, and a fully-equipped kitchen. All rooms are decorated in traditional Provencal style with a personal twist.

There are approximately 65 mature, fruit-bearing olive trees (max production 700kg/year) landscaped provençal gardens, and a large pool covered with Bisazza tiles. The house was very solidly built in the late 1970's and includes an earthquake belt, a crawl space throughout, and a basement for the furnace and storage.

The lobby (or living area) boats a cathedral ceiling. There are handmade Vernin tiles on the floors throughout, handmade Salernes tiles in the bathrooms, custom marble sink and bath surrounds, cut Dordogne stone around the pool, and custom ironwork around the property.

Les Olivettes has been designed and successfully operated as a Bed & Breakfast over a 20-year period ending 2019 and benefits on average from 4.5-star reviews on TripAdvisor. It is unique among local B&B establishments in that each accommodation includes both a bathroom, a kitchenette, and a private terrace.

The decoration would need to be renewed according to the tastes of new owners, but otherwise, the establishment is a turn-key revenue-generator. The local personnel having operated the business (greeting, cleaning, and maintenance) remain available to any future owner.

There are other business opportunities available for an investor not inclined to operate a B&B. The six autonomous rooms combined with spacious common areas are also well-adapted for a co-living property, in which guests rent the rooms for periods of several weeks to several months. This business model, while generating less revenue, would also involve less work.
