About this property

The essence of Provence

  • Our house is a two-minute walk from Rue Saint Jacques, the village's pedestrianized street. Legend has it that the house is 350 years old. We have been able to confirm it, but the architecture and building technique are typical of Provence. It has all the features you hope to find in a home in the South of France, but with all the modern conveniences. It was also once home to the world-famous actor and musician Jean Sarrus (b. 1945).

    June - August is arrival Saturday 16.00, departure Saturday 10.00.
    Minimum 6 night.

    Layout

    Behind the green door is the foyer, a laundry room and toilet, and a small bedroom with a double bed (140 cm). Upstairs are two more bedrooms. The larger one, 25 m², has a double bed (160 cm) and a fold-out bed (150 cm), plus an en suite bathroom with toilet. The smaller bedroom, 15 m², also has a double bed (160 cm), plus an en suite bathroom with toilet. At full capacity, the house can accommodate eight people. On the second floor is the large open-plan living room and kitchen, 42 m², with a kitchen table that seats eight. This is also where you go out on the 18 m² terrace which has patio furniture, an awning and a charcoal barbecue.

Lovely home in lovely village

We were lucky to stay in this home for a week this summer. It was spacious, well-stocked, and decorated with care and style - a pleasure to stay in! Loved the village it was in as well and its location to beaches, etc. - would come again and recommend highly!

Beautiful home in a gorgeous place

We were really impressed by the house which is even lovelier than the photos! Very tastefully decorated and the kitchen's state-of-the-art equipment is every amateur chef's dream! We loved our stay.
