The lounge is in open plan with the kitchen and dining area and the master bedroom with an en-suite shower wet-room and toilet is situated to one side of the living room. The living room and master bedroom was newly added 7 years ago and are tastefully and sympathetically decorated with the same simple rustic flavour. The lounge has a tranquil but at the same time modern feel with a bright colour scheme and travertine floors throughout. There is a cosy seating area with a sofa and further chairs and a wood burner central in the room. From here you have an open plan dining area with a 6-person dining table and an office space tucked away in the corner.

Joke Otten from GEEL,
Wij hebben zeer genoten van onze vakantie in deze vakantiewoning.
Alles was voldoende aanwezig in de ruime woning in een mooie rustige omgeving.
Op zeer korte afstand en tijd ben je aan een bakker en in een meer toeristisch dorpje.
Goede locatie om naburige dorpen te bezoeken, activiteiten te doen, supermarkten te gaan.
De contactpersoon heeft gezorgd voor een snelle en vlotte communicatie.
Het enige minpuntje dat er was, is misschien het wachten op warme water in de verst gelegen badkamer maar dit werd uitgelegd door de eigenaars.Dingeman de Groot from Amstelveen,
Heerlijk huis, voorzien van alle faciliteiten, mooi gelegen aan de bosrand en tussen de wijnvelden en olijfbomen. Qua ligging ten opzichte van Lorgues, het dichtstbijzijnde dorp
en omgeving, ben je zo in het dorp om te shoppen en toch zit je heerlijk in de natuur buiten alle drukte. De omgeving zit vol met schattige dorpjes, bergweggetjes, bossen en watervallen.
De perfecte uitvalsbasis voor wielrennen, trailrunnen of andere outdoorsporten.
Het huis heeft een mooi zwembad, relaxte badkamers en ruimte genoeg om heerlijk weg te dromen tijdens je vakantie. Kortom top plekje en zeer goede prijskwaliteitverhouding.
Wij komen zeker weer en raden dit huis aan iedereen aan!Jacqueline Smith from Wassenaar,
Het gezellige huis ligt prachtig in een idyllische omgeving met wijnakkers en olijfbomen.
Een oase van rust en toch maar enkele kilometers van het centrum van Lorgues. Het huis biedt alles wat je nodig hebt en de 2 nieuwe, moderne badkamers maken het helemaal af.
In en bij het mooi aangelegde zoutwaterzwembad is het heerlijk verpozen; de verrijdbare grote parasol zorgt voor schaduw op de plage.
De buitentafel onder de lindeboom nodigt uit tot lang natafelen.
Kortom, wij hebben genoten van een heerlijke vakantie.
