A very spacious and tastefully renovated three story 'maison de maitre' with private pool, garden and terraces. The roof top terrace greets you with stunning views of the Luberon and the Alpilles. It has been renovated recently to a high standard and been conceived as a home away from home. The house offers in total 5 large bedrooms, including a master suite with study and luxury open plan bathroom (bath/shower/toilet), a bedroom with open plan shower and washbasin. Three further bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, separate toilets. Both the kitchen/dining area and living room open into a large south facing terrace, fully equipped for 12 people. A stone staircase leads down from here to an enclosed garden where you will find an 8x4m pool, a wooden deck complete with loungers, a climbing frame for the children and a large lime tree for those preferring the shade. With security in mind, there is an automatic cover on the pool and a lockable gate at the bottom of the stairs.

Further details
Of all the regions of France, Provence is one of the most irresistible, renown for its mild winters and long summer days.
Whether you are interested in wine (Chateauneuf du Pape, Gigondas and Cotes du Rhone), history (Avignon, Orange, Pont du Gard), natural history (Luberon National Park with its famous villages, Mont Ventous, Camargue), art (Cezanne orginally comes from Aix en Provence, Van Gogh is associated with Arles), sport (something for everyone, including the internationally renowned ascent of the Mont Ventoux on your bike!) or food, there is something for everyone.
Many places have cultural festivals including Opera in Aix en Provence and Orange, theatre in Avignon and Jazz/piano in La Roque d'Antheron during the summer months.
Velleron is a lovely Provencal village where you can buy your baguette and croissants at one of the two local boulangeries, meat and staples at the small supermarket, mouth watering cakes and chocolates at the patisserie, and delicious fruit and vegetables from the farmers market held at 6pm, six days a week during the summer. There is also a restaurant (Chez Udo), a pizza parlour takeaway, a florist, a delicatessen and, of course, 3 typical 'cafes' in the village. L'Isle sur la Sorgue with its antiques market, restaurants, watermills and river is only 4km away. The busy town of Avignon is 20 minutes by car.

Guest comments
Thank you so very much for a fabulous stay, we were extremely happy with our time in your elegant house which had everything we could have wanted, and was very well thought out. It was also a bonus to buy fresh croissant every morning and the farmers market every evening, wish we had that here!
