Recreation: Tennis, cycle hire and horse riding are all available in the village. Pont Royal (Seve Ballesteros designed, 40-65 euros a round), one of the best golf courses in Provence is only 12 miles. Uniquely for France, another 10 courses are within 25 miles, reached driving through some of the most beautiful countryside in Provence. There are beautiful walks in the area. The top of the Luberon, with its outstanding views, and the GR97 footpath that crests the Luberon, are only 3 miles, Bonnieux 6 miles. COMMUNICATION: Avignon (TGV), Marseille Airport, Aix-en-Provence and Arles are all within 45 mins. Drive. An 8-9 hour drive from Calais and only 15 miles from ‘Route du Soleil’ the whole of Provence is within easy access – Cannes, Nice and Monte Carlo are 2-3 hours by auto-route.
|
The villa, on the slopes of the Luberon, is surrounded by vineyards with 5 of the most beautiful villages in France within 10 miles, Lourmarin, Ansouis, Lacoste, Menerbes and Bonnieux, in the heart of 'Peter Mayle country'
EQUIPMENT: The villa has satellite TV (27”/70cm Sony) and CD system. The kitchen is open plan and fully equipped with fridge-freezer, gas and electric hob, oven, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine and dryer. Outdoor barbecue. SUNSHINE: The villa is designed and positioned to fully exploit the climate and sunshine of Provence. It faces south-south-east and enjoys sublime views over the surrounding valleys at sunrise with Cezanne’s Mont St. Victoire dominant in the distance. In the master bedroom suite on the first floor, with its en-suite bathroom and toilet, the sun literally pours straight through the large window – a wonderful way to wake up every morning or even brush your teeth.

The villa has a large sun terrace directly in front of the sitting room. Yet, when the sun is so hot that you only want to escape it, then the coolness of the vaulted sitting room offers respite, whilst a further terrace provides the option of lunch or dinner under shaded trees during hot summer days. The swimming pool, however, is positioned so that it enjoys the sun until early evening. MISCELLANEOUS: There is gated carparking space for at least 6 cars, most under shade. Electric underfloor central heating in the main part of the house means it can be occupied all year round. There is no extra charge for heating in the winter, guests are simply asked to be sensible. All linen and towels, except swimming towels, are included in rental and changed once a week.
