A modern detached villa in traditional style set in its own grounds in pleasant surroundings on the edge of a small village in the Lubéron hills, offering glorious views from its pretty, shaded terrace and enclosed garden. This is an attractive and comfortable property, well equipped to a high overall standard. Of particular note is the spacious, open plan living room, attractively furnished with country-style charm, its well-fitted corner kitchen highlighted by pretty blue and white Provençal tiles. A covered terrace with barbecue leads off the dining room, whilst a second terrace and first floor balcony (approx 3m20 x 1m) are also available for outdoor living. The lovely enclosed garden adjoining that of the only immediate neighbour, has a delightful, kidney-shaped swimming pool (9m50 x 4m50, depth 1m20 – 1m80), grassy areas and a gravelled area for boules. The friendly owners (madame is an English teacher) live in Lyon but either they or their local representative will welcome guests here. A welcoming, homely property of an excellent modern standard combining ideal outdoor-living facilities with access to varied sightseeing nearby. Visits in the area include the numerous picturesque villages of the Lubéron mountains, such as Bonnieux, Lourmarin, Ansouis and Céreste; La Tour-d’Aigues, at the foot of the Lubéron, in delightful countryside of vineyards and cherry orchards; the bustling town of Apt in the fertile Durance valley with colourful Saturday market and the Cathédrale Sainte-Anne.

Comments
“As veterans of over 40 cottages, we think that this is one of the best. Home from home, comfortable, modern, well equipped and peaceful.” “We found the house to be very well equipped and most comfortable. We chose a house that was suitable for my 89-year-old father who is not too good on stairs or uneven surfaces, and he coped very well – the house is fine for those with limited mobility” “This has been the perfect place to relax and enjoy the sunshine. We have been really impressed with the house and in particular the pool and garden.” "This is probably the best of all the VFB cottages we have stayed in in terms of appearance, cleanliness and equipment." "The house, pool and region are magnificent!" "This is a fabulous house in a beautiful area."
