ARTISTS' PARADISE IN A FRIENDLY VILLAGE
IN THE SOUTH OF FRANCE
Would you like to spend a few days or weeks in the south of France, in a beautiful 18th century spacious village house, which is simple, practical and romantic?
The house easily sleeps 6 to 7. There is a large bedroom with an en-suite bathroom on the first floor. On the top floor there is a double bedroom, plus a double and a divan bed in a large multi-purpose ‘atelier’.
The top floor has its own shower, WC and a fully equipped beech Magnet kitchen, breakfast bar and dining area - plus 'Juliet' balcony with glorious views of the village and to the south. It is possible to rent the top floor independently from the rest of the house as it has its own entrance from the road and its own independent facilities: ideal for a couple or for a group of 3-4 friends. It can alternatively form part of the family house if you rent the whole building and garden. There are 2 staircases and the two apartments can link on the lower and middle floors. The building has character, charm and history: one of the staircases is spiral and all floors are tiled. There are not many modern right angles in the structure and design: it is a rewarding experience to explore the authentic but sensitively modernised old building.
On the ground floor there is a kitchen/dining/living room, WC & shower, plus a large garden with vine-covered patio. There are places to enjoy the sun and to eat and drink in privacy and shade. The Habitat beech kitchen looks great & is well equipped. There is a super 5-burner gas hob, double sink, big fridge-freezer, dishwasher, microwave, electric oven, kettle, magi-mix, toaster etc! Each dining area has tables and chairs for 4-8 people. There is a washing machine for those whose rental includes garden access.
Because this is where we live for several months of the year, the house also has a piano, wireless Internet, satellite television (Astra for BBC & UK TV free-view channels) + French terrestrial TV & DVD player.
We welcome you for a carefree holiday that offers excellent value for money!
