Description
Here we have a modern, well-equipped, light and airy detached villa set in its own grassy and gravelled grounds with a charming pool and shady terrace, in a quiet location just outside the hamlet of Les Valayans. The spacious interior is comfortably furnished in modern style. Much of the décor is white which gives the villa a minimalist and uncluttered feel. Each first floor bedroom has its own individual balcony from which to admire the fine views of the surrounding hills and countryside, while on the ground floor, Bedroom 1 and the living/dining room have French windows opening onto the terrace adjacent to the inviting swimming pool (4m x 7m). The little hamlet of Les Valayans is close to many beautiful villages in the region, including Pernes-les-Fontaines famed for cherry, strawberry and grape preserving and for pleasant walks along the river Nesque and Venasque with its many historic buildings. The popular town of l’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue – standing on an island in the river Sorgue – with its renowned Sunday antiques market is also close by. An ideal property for those seeking comfortable, modern and spacious accommodation in the heart of Provence. Featured by VFB for the first time in 2011.
