Alice and Clifford Rosen bought the house in 2005. It was love at first sight - not just the house but the village as well. Having looked at more than 30 houses in the region over a two year period, Rue des Bourgades was the one for us! Previously owned by an American family it was ideal - a village house with all the local amenities, quiet and spacious inside and easily accessible for long-weekends from London. Indeed, we use it often at weekends during winter, normally once a month as it is so easy to get here.
Whilst we have made some modifications since buying, it was largely as you see it now. An old house it was re-modelled in the late 80's and the pool installed sometime after that. The furniture is a mixture of mine, my late mother-in-law's and some pieces bought here at the famous antique town of Isle sur l'Sorgues. The artwork is a mixture of artist friends' work, my late mother-in law (an artist) and a few purchases.
We live and work in London and take great pride in both our homes. Our London house was featured in 25 Beautiful Houses magazine.
