These superbly restored holiday cottages are in an idyllic setting in a private hamlet in Haute Provence. The properties stand in beautifully landscaped grounds. There are seven cottages, sleeping 2 to 4 people, which share a beautiful swimming pool, and another cottage for 6 which has its own pool. (The pools are usually available from end of May to end of September). The interiors are delightful and each property is furnished and decorated to a high standard using colourful Provençal materials; many original features have been retained. Each cottage has its own private terrace with a barbecue and garden furniture. The hospitable owners (English and Italian) live in the main farmhouse and are always happy to share advice and recommendations. |

Situation
The property is situated about 2km from Pierrevert, a picturesque Provençal village at the eastern end of the Lubéron Hills, about 60km north east of Aix-en-Provence. The village has good local shops and a café-brasserie. There are four good restaurants between 2 and 4km of the property including a very nice one at the neighbouring golf club where non-golfers are very welcome. This has a lovely large terrace with wonderful views. There are large supermarkets in Manosque, about 6km. Aix-en-Provence is about 45 minutes drive. Aix is our favourite town in France: the old town is largely pedestrianised and has many little sqaures with cafés, an incredible number of restaurants, attractive boutiques and wonderful street markets. There is so much to explore in the area: Apt, about 40km, has a pedestrianised old town with very attractive individual shops. There are many beautiful villages nearby in the eastern Lubéron such as Dauphin and La Bastide des Jourdins. The Verdon Gorges with their spectacular scenery are about half an hour’s drive and the lake at Sainte Croix, great for water sports, is about 40km. There are many activities close by: pony trekking, walking, rafting, canoeing, climbing, cycling, and Pierrevert itself has an 18 hole golf course, Le Golf du Lubéron, which is right next to the property. This is a challenging course and costs about EUR 50 per round. It is about 80km to the coast. Nice airport is about 2 hours and Marseille is about an hour.
