IN THE HEART OF PROVENCE
Superb property, one of the very few to be
awarded "4 stars" by the regional tourist board.
This exceptional villa is situated 5 kms from Carpentras and is near the famous Mont Ventoux. It is in the very heart of the Provence countryside with long views of the mountain. The 3 acres of fragrant pine woodland that surround this hide-away paradise guarantee total privacy.
About 100m from the house, is a full size tennis court which was resurfaced only last year. The swimming pool is closer to the house (about 40m) but still far enough away that those quietly relaxing at the house need not be disturbed by the exuberant youth in the pool! Next to the pool there is a ping-pong table and a table-football.
Two terraces with garden furniture on opposite sides of the house and a large partly covered roof terrace give plenty of options for sitting out.
ACCOMMODATION

It is one of the few villas to be awarded 4 stars by the Carpentras Tourist board and has been furnished and equipped to a high standard. A beautiful library with a piano, 2 living rooms with superb views, make it an extremely spacious top notch holiday retreat within easy reach of Provence's famous sights; Gordes, Mont Ventoux, Saint Remy de Provence, Avignon and the Luberon.
