Experience the charm of Provence and the authentic feel of stone in this holiday home for 15 people, converted from a traditional stone farmhouse just 2 km from the village of Banon. Enjoy a holiday far from noise and pollution, with the sound of cicadas as your only neighbor. The 10m x 4m heated pool—secured by a rolling safety cover—is situated in an open area to the side of the building, offering a secluded spot for swimming and relaxation with panoramic views of the countryside. Sun loungers can be arranged in the shade of the trees or out in the sun for the perfect tan, turning the pool area into an ideal spot for leisurely lounging.
The garden opens out onto the natural landscape; in the evenings, it is not uncommon to see does coming to graze in the meadows surrounding the house. A wooden swing set stands in a large, open area beneath the house's windows, providing plenty of room for ball games, racket sports, running around, and tumbling. A table tennis table has also been set up in the courtyard.
Spanning three levels and 180m², the house is ideal for family gatherings or groups of friends. At its heart lies a large kitchen opening onto a dining room that seats 15 guests; alternatively, you can set the table outdoors in the meadow or under the trees for an alfresco country lunch. In the evening, relax together in the spacious TV lounge—featuring two sofas—or the refreshment area, equipped with a Nespresso machine, a standard coffee maker, and a kettle. The five bedrooms (including one suite) and four bathrooms are distributed throughout the house, ensuring both private retreats and shared living spaces. The kitchen opens onto a covered terrace, perfect for enjoying an aperitif or breakfast in the fresh air.
Once you are rested, you can enjoy exploring the surrounding area:
on foot, via the many trails starting right from the house—each named after the village it leads to; by bike, to explore the gorges and typical hilltop villages of Haute-Provence;
or by car, to venture as far as the Verdon Gorge, Lake Sainte-Croix, Moustiers-Sainte-Marie, Avignon, or Aix-en-Provence—along with many other gems scattered across the region.
The region is rich in places to discover, whether natural or man-made, hidden or popular.
