Le Buissonet (CHE.84)

Le Buissonet  is a 2-3 bedroomed villa, sleeping 4-6 (+ baby), in a rural setting, 1 km from the village of Goult (Vaucluse), 12km W of Apt, 37km E of Avignon (Michelin map: 527). VFB is delighted to have featured this property since 1994. Saturday arrival.

This is a smart, comfortable house, close to the attractive old village of Goult, built in local style, with a marvellous, panoramic view from its elevated position over vineyards, wooded hillsides and scattered hamlets. Around the two-storey house are excellent amenities: conservatory, sunny paved terraces edged with rockeries (approx. 100m²) with built-in barbecue and, not least, the inviting swimming pool (7m x 3m50, depth: 1m20) set in 13000m² of grass, shrubs, mature trees and small vineyard. Attached to the property, but not overlooking it, is an independent apartment where the friendly owner lives alone. He will welcome visitors and tend to the garden and pool but is very discreet, leaving guests with a good degree of privacy (the nearest neighbours being some 30m distant). The welcoming and well-kept interior is spacious and comfortable, furnished and equipped to a very good standard with quality reproduction and traditional items and with a fully fitted kitchen. A comfortable and spacious home with super outdoor facilities and lovely views in a sought-after location, with the beautiful mountainous Park Régional du Lubéron on the doorstep; enchanting villages such as Goult itself, Gordes, Roussillon and its ochre quarries; the lively market town of Apt.

Accommodation: Ground floor: kitchen, living/dining room, 1 double-bedded room, cot, bathroom, separate wc. First floor: mezzanine with 2 single beds, 1 twin-bedded room, separate wc.

Activities: Private swimming pool (available May – September). Tennis and horse riding in Goult. Bicycle hire in Lacoste (5km) and Bonnieux (7km). Golf (18 holes) in Saumane (35km) and Monfavet (30km).

Comments
“The cottage, pool, views and locality all speak for themselves. A truly memorable week.” “Halfway through our paradisical week and we don’t want to go home.” “…the best cottage and setting of nine VFB properties we’ve stayed in. M Chevalier has been kind and welcoming – we have appreciated the cherries and apricots.” “The stay at ‘le Buissonnet’ has been a great highlight of the holiday – peaceful, clean, superbly equipped, spacious and with the most glorious views and refreshing pool.” “We have enjoyed M Chevalier’s hospitality for the third time – the place is bliss.”
