Property Details of Provence Villa

This holiday villa is perfect for families who love lazy days round the pool, but also want to be in the most delightful corner of Provence ? the Luberon valley.

The villa is right in the ?Golden Triangle? between the famous Luberon villages of Menerbes and Lacoste, and is close to the other medieval hilltop villages that make the area so sought after: Bonnieux, Gordes, Roussillon, Goult, Lourmarin, Oppede-le-Vieux, etc. All are officially members of The Most Beautiful Villages of France, and a short drive or cycle away.

The villa is set in a garden amid pine trees where the quiet is only punctuated by the cicadas in the summer. The kitchen and living room both open onto the terrace with pool, through three sets of French doors, so there is a sense of the house and garden merging into one ? this is great because in the long, glorious summers of Provence you only want to go indoors to cook and sleep!

The house is comfortably furnished and equipped with everything you might need, including essentials like dishwasher, cots and baby bath. The pool is fenced in so you can secure it against children going in when you?re watching them. In the summer the pool gets up to 28 degrees (82 fahrenheit).

This villa is great for families. Upstairs are two bedrooms and a bathroom with shower. You have to go through the double bedroom to get to the twin room, so it's ideal for keeping an eye on the children. The twin room sleeps 3 and there is room in the parents' room for cots. There are two cots available, as well as a baby bath. A balcony from the parents' room looks down onto the pool and garden, and over to the Luberon mountain.

Downstairs are a double bedroom and a twin bedroom, with a bathroom and separate WC between them. So the sleeping arrangements will suit a large group, or two families, and your rooms will be in two separate parts of the house for a little more privacy.

The Luberon is a wonderful corner of France but if you don't fancy venturing out further than the nearest bakery or restaurant, you'll find plenty to do at the villa. Apart from lounging around the pool and pool-house, in the garden there is a ping-pong table, badminton, croquet, and a proper set of boules. There's an ideal boules playing surface too on the gravel. There are 4 mountain bikes - two for adults and two for kids aged 6-8. For smaller children there are also various toys. In the unlikely event of rain there is a TV and video, and board games.

Local Area Details

The nearest village is Lacoste, 3 km away, still dominated by the Marquis de Sade?s castle. Here in the winding streets you can get your baguettes and croissants, buy groceries, and choose from 3 restaurants.

5 km the other way is the picture-postcard village of Menerbes, where Peter Mayle came to write ?A Year in Provence?. Everything you read about in his book is right here: the lavender-scented landscapes; daily markets overflowing with local produce that actually tastes of something; the charming Provencal people; hilltop villages rising above the sea of vineyards and sunflowers; outstanding food and wine; and the sensational quality of light that has always brought painters and poets here. In Provence, everything simply tastes, smells, and looks better than at home. And it?s all right on your doorstep.

Things to do...here are some ideas among many:
Go to the local markets and rediscover what food used to taste like: there is one for every day of the week in a different village
- Lose the extra calories by cycling round the famous hilltop villages: Gordes, Bonnieux, Menerbes, Lacoste, Roussillon, Lourmarin, etc.
- Antique and bric-a-brac hunting at Isle-sur-Sorgue ? France?s antiques capital.
- Choose from an endless number of walks in the 120,000 ha Luberon Natural Park
- Visit the Marquis de Sade's castle at neighbouring Lacoste
- Picnic in the cedar forests outside Bonnieux.
- Drive to the top of Mt Ventoux (cycle if you're mad) and let the Alps and Med take your breath away.
- Avignon, half an hour away, is a fascinating medieval city small enough to walk round in a day.
- Go wine-tasting at the local vineyards or up the Rhone
- Day trips to Monte Carlo, Cannes, St Tropez, the Camargue, Arles, Aix, Orange, Gorges du Verdon, St Remy, Nimes, Marseille, Spain, Italy, the Alps.
