It is situated within five minutes walk of St. Saturnin les Apt: a vibrant village, lived in year-round and where you can find two bakeries, a butcher, grocery store, post office and pharmacy and on Tuesday mornings a produce market There are several very good restaurants and many pleasant bars to sit and sip a cafe or a cool glass of rose wine. You can visit the nearby villages of Menerbes,Rousillon,Gordes,Bonnieux and go to their individual Provencal markets. The historic towns Aix en Provence and Avignon are an hours drive from the house.
The Mas is the owner's well-loved vacation home and, apart from the removal of a few personal items, it will remain as it is when the owner is resident. The kitchen, living and dining areas are bright, airy and comfortably and attractively furnished. Two sets of double doors lead off the living area to a large terrace with panoramic views. While overlooking the pool, you can dine al fresco and enjoy the views of the valley, mountains and hillside villages. The terrace is furnished with a dining table, chairs and a parasol to give shade when needed. A separate door leads to the kitchen to give easy access when serving food.
There are three bedrooms: the master bedroom with king-size bed and bathroom en-suite and small balcony; a second bedroom with king-size bed adjacent to a shower room and separate toilet; and, downstairs via circular staircase, a third bedroom with twin beds and adjacent W.C.
