A wonderful old stone Provencal farmhouse with fabulous swimming pool (6m x 12m) and private floodlit tennis court and boule terrain with views over the Vaucluse plateau. This substantial house and converted barn sleeps 16 adults and 2 young children in comfort in 9 bedrooms with three big reception rooms and a large beautifully equipped kitchen. The house and barn are wrapped around a charming floodlit gated courtyard with an old olive tree at its centre and is the perfect setting for long provencal meals in sun or under shade. The garden extends to 10 acres part cultivated and part left wild for spring flowers and almond and fig trees. A covered summer pavilion for pool side meals and evening cocktails has recently been added. The house is just 3 km from Isle sur la Sorgue which is the antiques centre of France, and is set amongst vines, lavender fields, olive groves, cherry and apple orchards. Four hundred years old, the house has very thick stone walls which keeps it wonderfully cool. There is, however, air conditioning in the two master bedrooms and fans in the other bedrooms and in the outside eating areas. The location is peaceful and yet within very easy reach (10 min) of golf, canoeing, horse riding, mountain biking, road biking tracks (and electric bike hire) and the surrounding Luberon villages. The perfect house for families of all ages and also for 2 or 3 families to share; most of our repeat clients are families of three or even four generations taking advantage of spending time together with plenty of space and plenty to do. It is also an excellent base for cycling (Mont Ventoux is just 30 minutes away) or golfing holidays and as there is a very large reception room in the Bergerie, it is suitable for Pilates/yoga or painting holidays. There's masses to do all year round or just relax, sit back and enjoy Provence.

Provence is ideal for holidays all year round and is notorious for sunshine even when the weather gets cooler. Apart form the golf nearby, the house has its own floodlit tennis court and is equipped with table tennis, a boule terrain and 10 bicycles to ensure that there is plenty to do whatever the month. Two cots, two highchairs and children's toys are available if required.

We have a wonderful house keeping team (who speak French and English) to look after our guests and between us we do all we can to understand your needs and to give you the best, most relaxing, memorable and happy holiday.
