This beautifully renovated, unique Provencal villa, is situated amongst peaceful countryside in the valley of the River Sorgues. Set independently within its own large garden, it provides ample, comfortable accommodation for 10 people. The local town of Le Thor has all the ambiance of a typical local french town, with a morning market for fresh produce, bakeries, cafes, and for convenience, a large supermarket. There are also many Caves Degustation for wine tasting and buying exceptional local produce.

Fontaine-de-Vaucluse and L'Isle sur-la-Sorgue, with its colorful antiques markets and outdoor restaurants and cafes, is only 10 minutes away. The meandering River Sorgues provides the opportunity to fish, canoe and enjoy the local walks. In the centre of town is the impressive Romanesque church Notre-Dame du Lac, and just outside on a hill amidst oak forests, are ancient tower ruins, perfect to get a view of the surrounding mountains, including Mt Ventoux, the Dentelles, the Luberon and the Alpilles, all within a half hour drive.

Unique in its design, one of The Apple Orchard's greatest assets is space. A central sweeping staircase takes you up into a huge, impressive open-plan living area, with high beamed ceilings, a large central fireplace, all set against beautiful limestone floors.

All doors and windows orientate out towards the garden with the balcony terrace stretching out as an extension of the lounge, furnished with a large table, chairs and comfy cushions. Perfect for all outdoor dining with floodlights to create the perfect evening ambiance.

A stylish, fully equipped kitchen, with granite work surfaces and bar with stools, also has a door giving direct access to the outdoor terrace. There is an indoor dining table and chairs set aside from the main lounge area which is furnished with comfy sofas, coffee tables, satellite TV and a library of useful guidebooks and information.

Upstairs there are three large double bedrooms, one with an en-suite bathroom with water closet, walk-in power shower, luxurious Victorian bath; the other bedrooms consist of two twin beds and one double, both sharing an en-suite bathroom between them. Downstairs are a further two double bedrooms, both with beautiful french doors leading directly out to the garden terrace, sharing a modern bathroom with water closet and limestone power shower.

Hiring bikes and bicycle tours - If you are looking for some sporting activity to fit into your existing holiday, we can offer one day road or mountain bike tours. Bring your own bikes or we can facilitate renting them for you.

                Thanks to Audrey for helping us to settle in and being on hand for advice. The Apple Orchard is perfect for a family holiday.

                We have really enjoyed our stay here at The Apple Orchard. The villa is well arranged and all 11 of us were very comfortable here. The garden is beautiful and the weather has been amazing. We love the area and took advice from the house book and visited many of the places suggested by previous guests.

                In Le Thor we enjoyed the friendliness of the village. A must - baguettes and croissant from the boulangerie in the main square - they were just delicious! Enjoy.

                There is plenty to see and do in this area and we packed a lot in over the fortnight, but it is always nice to come back to The Apple Orchard for a dip in the pool. A lovely holiday in a superb setting.

                All ten of us fitted in perfectly, the kids downstairs, adults up. Weather been perfect, loads to do, could have filled several more weeks.

                We are sorry to leave The Apple Orchard after a very enjoyable two weeks. The accommodation was the best we have experienced in France. Many thanks to Audrey and family

                We have thoroughly enjoyed our two weeks here - the house, the pool and the garden are all superb. The comments from the children today "Do we have to go?" "Has it really been two weeks?" "I love this house" - say it all!

                The Apple Orchard certainly met all our high expectations of a wonderful family holiday. Lots of fun was had by the pool on various inflatables and volley ball competitions.

                On behalf of our family, I would like to say it has been very much appreciated how much thought has been put into The Apple Orchard. It's a great place to stay
