Arrive at this restored sheep barn (known as a jas) and immediately feel enveloped by calm. Jérôme (ex-Parisian) and Dana (he’s Canadian) are a delightful couple, their wired-haired dachshund, Addis, equally as welcoming.
Choose from rooms in the main house or by the infinity pool, all with private entrances. Breakfast is original, varied and features just-picked, homegrown fruits and herbs from the garden: homemade yoghurt, sweet or savoury muffins beautifully presented, an elegant fried egg, always served with freshly squeezed orange juice and your choice of the best teas and coffees.
There’s a summer kitchen next to the pool for making light meals, or your hosts will direct you to good restaurants, the nearest only a five-minute drive away. Walk, hike or cycle the surrounding countryside, visit nearby hilltop villages or take a day trip to the coast. Return for a dip in the heated pool; relax in the oasis-like garden with a book from the library - you'll have just butterflies, bees and birds for company.

Local points of interest from Jérôme Mantel & Dana Silk:
Puntos de interés sobre la región de
Jérôme Mantel & Dana Silk:
- Although the Lure Mountain is almost as high as the Ventoux there are not hundreds of cyclists grinding their way to the top. Halfway up you can check out Notre-Dame de Lure, a mystical 12th century chapel with its very own hermit.
- Banon is a beautiful perched village that boasts one of the largest independent bookstores in France as well as some nice shops and restaurants. Just down the road is another perched village, Simiane la Rotonde, with great views of lavender fields.
- The gentle flank of the Lure up behind our house, riddled with trails sometimes marked by shreds of wool from errant sheep, is home to lots of birds but not much else, making it ideal for relaxing walks. Straight up it becomes mountain bike heaven.
- Lurs was once an abandoned village overlooking the Durance valley, not far from the still active monastery of Ganagobie. Perfect for a stroll, lunch at the Bistro de Pays or afternoon tea.
- Forcalquier has an enormous outdoor market on Monday mornings, an organic market on Thursday afternoons, great little shops, restaurants, galleries and a new musuem - Artemisia - dedicated to aromatic and medicinal plants.
- There are several factory outlet stores at the entrance to the autoroute, notably Lothantique for soaps and cosmetics, Manon for chocolates and sweets, as well as an award-winning olive oil producer - Arizzi - just across the Durance.
Guest feedback
"We've been back for just over a week and we still can't get over how memorable this place is. Calm, quiet, and the perfect spot to get away from it all. "

"We just spent a wonderful long weekend in Le Jas-du-Boeuf enjoying magnificent autumn weather. The nights were already a little chilly but we kept nicely warm in the cosy japanese-style bungalow 'Chênes'. Jerome and Dana proved attentive hosts, serving us delicious breakfasts every morning. Our lady dog enjoyed the company of their quiet brothers Castor + Pollux - all was perfect!
Nature lovers like ourselves who appreciate creature comforts as well as design and style will love this place!"

"Staying here was like staying in heaven! Dana and Jerome were amazing hosts and did everything possible to make our stay special. We had one of the rooms by the pool which was ideal for us and our dog, and the views were amazing. We will definitely be going back!"

"Jerome and Dana were the most welcoming and lovely hosts who really did everything they could to make our stay as wonderful as possible. Their gorgeous dogs Castor and Pollux loved our Sheila too! Amazing pool, gorgeous room, delicious supper on the terrace outside in the evening where wine and laughter flowed freely. Would recommend to anyone - do stay more than one night though to really explore the place and surroundings."

"We stopped here en-route to Monaco for the Historic GP and were met with a very warm welcome from Les and Wendy. We stayed in the lodges by the pool and said: 'we've got to come back here - what a great place for a chilling-out holiday'!
Its lovely, try it!"

"Fabulous place, Les and Wendy are wonderful hosts the area is fabulous and extremely quiet and peaceful. Good restaurants close by. We stayed here for 8 days and after over 20+ years of travelling around France this is the best place we have ever stayed. Highly recommended"

"Les and Wendy were so helpful when we e-mailed back and forth about my travel arrangements to get here, and then even picked me up from a local bus stop! The place is surrounded by scrub oak trees and is secluded, very quiet (apart from the crickets and cicadas) and has a beautiful view of mountains from the pool. There is a lovely walk along a track to the nearest village, about 3km, which has an amazing (must book) small restaurant, baker, small cafe/bar. It is all so pretty and restful - amazing breakfasts. I was in a small, comfortable room, which was perfect for me, though I know there are some larger ones which would suit couples. This was perfect, rural living, in a beautiful 'lesser known' area of provence, and Les and Wendy couldn't have been warmer or more helpful. Lovely."

"Les and Wendy made us most welcome from the minute we arrived. Jas de Boeuf is a little difficult to find, but once found it provides idylic holiday accommodation in a wonderful setting and is well-placed for visiting the sights of Provence. There are excellent restaurants locally (one particular restuarant in nearby Cruis prepared one of the best meals we have ever had!). The accommodation lives up to the tasteful photos of their web-site, and the infinity pool provides a wonderful base for a lazy day. The breakfasts are also well worth getting up for in a morning!"

"We thought we'd pass through here on our honeymoon this summer so booked 2 nights at the Jas du Boeuf. Once there we found we couldn't leave and ended up staying put for the best part of 2 weeks. The place is wonderful - Les and Wendy are hugely welcoming and full of useful information and suggestions; the house itself, the rooms, the pool and the views are all stunning. There are some great walks in the area, and the region itself delivers all that is hoped for in Provence with lavendar fields, olive groves, vineyards, hilltop villages, markets and yet there are very few tourists even at peak season. The perfect place to come to relax, recharge and explore the countryside - we can't recommend it enough."
