Petit Pourraque Cottage with own pool sleeps 2 4 France
House in Provence, France
Property Details of Provence House
Our home is a pretty stone built village house over 250 years old. It is in the centre of the hamlet and has a delightful completely private garden with pool at the rear of the house. To the side of the house is a cool courtyard and at the rear is a dining terrace ? both ideal for outdoor living.
The house is on two storeys. The ground floor comprises a fully equipped kitchen/dining room and small sitting room with provencal fireplace for open log fires. The kitchen is equipped with a cooker, fridge and washing machine. The sitting room opens to the side of the house onto the courtyard. Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms, one with a double bed and one with two singles. There is a bathroom with washbasin and shower and there is a separate toilet. All the rooms are attractively furnished and the house comfortably accommodates 4 people. There are electric heaters in all the rooms for the cooler months.
The garden at the rear of the house is very secluded. There is plenty of sitting out area and chairs and tables are provided for eating out. The swimming pool is surrounded by pretty shrubs and flower pots and there is plenty of sunbathing space. Loungers are provided. In our experience swimming in April is only for the very hardy and thus, subject to demand, we operate the pool from May to September.
Bed linen is provided but please bring your own towels. There is a CD/radio cassette player and television for entertainment and we also leave a few books in the house.

Local Area DetailsThe Parc Naturel du Luberon is a designated area of outstanding natural beauty in southern Provence. Bounded to the north by the Vaucluse plateau and to the south by the Grand and Petit Luberon mountains the Luberon valley is a picturesque landscape of vineyards, orchards and lavender fields enhanced by the famous hilltop villages of Gordes, Roussillon and Menerbes to name but a few.
Petit Pouraque is in the hamlet of Pouraque to the west of the village of St. Saturnin d?Apt towards the eastern end of the Luberon Valley about 10 minutes drive from the town of Apt. The hamlet is a pretty cluster of houses all in a traditional provencal style. It is about 3 minutes drive or a brisk 15 minute walk into the village of St. Saturnin where you will find two excellent bakers and a butcher plus a small supermarket with a superb choice of goats cheeses. The village also has 3 restaurants and a couple of friendly bars. Good Cotes de Ventoux and Cotes du Luberon wine can be bought at any of the local Caves Co-operatives at the sort of price you dream of - our favourite is the Cave Co-operative de Bonnieux just off the main valley road the N100. There are many good restaurants in the area.
Further afield, the attractions of Avignon, Aix, St. Remy, Nimes, Orange and Arles are all within easy exploring distance with the beaches of the Cote d?Azur and the Camargue accessible within around 2 hours via the Autoroute. The nearest airport is Marseille - approximately one hours drive from Pouraque. To drive by autoroute from Le Havre is around 10-12 hours.
If you visit the area in July or August and all you wish to do is lie in or around the pool this is a lovely place to do just that but other times of the year are just as beautiful. Springtime is delightful with the cherry orchards in full bloom, the lavender fields look beautiful in June and early July and in September/October the ?vendage? begins. This area is renowned for its sunshine days and blue skies all year round.

| Notes |
| The rent includes all services. There is a charge for heating in the winter months. We are very conscious of safety and the potential hazard of swimming pools for young children, for this reason we do not accept bookings from families with children under five.
We ask for half the rent at the time of booking and the balance six weeks before the start of your holiday. If booking is within 6 weeks of arrival we require full payment at the time of booking. We also require a ?250 deposit against damages as a separate cheque which should be sent at the time of final payment. Any charges for breakages or repairs will be made against the deposit and the balance returned to you. A welcome pack of immediate essentials such as tea, coffee, milk, etc. can be arranged if required for which there will be a small charge to cover the cost of the purchases. Bookings are from Saturday to Saturday. In order to clean and check the house we ask guests to arrive between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. and to leave by 10 a.m. latest.
In case of cancellation, the reservation deposit will be retained unless we can re-let or the whole payment if six weeks or less before the start of your intended stay. If we can re-let our additional expenditure, including advertising, will be deducted and the rest returned to you. We would therefore strongly advise you to take out holiday insurance which covers cancellation. This is widely available, for example from airlines, ferry companies, and the AA.
