Smell the lavender, the thyme and see the grapes growing.

Enjoy the comfort of quality interiors in an almost two-century old house made of thick stone walls and beamed ceilings renovated in 2000 with all attention to detail. Savour your private terrace and garden, our large swimming pool, the tennis court, the table d'hote and wine tasting, a Provencal family restaurant at walking distance, many hiking and biking trails in breathtaking nature nearby , the Provencal markets, villages, culture and restaurants within minutes driving.
The two owning multi-lingual (English, French, German and Dutch) couples are happy to host you in a residence that deserves more than just words and a few photos.
