The
traditional construction, with thick stone walls, and shuttered windows,
protects the house’s inhabitants from the heat of the provencal summer sun.
The south facing enclosed courtyard captures the sun and warmth for al fresco dining whilst providing shelter from the occasional Mistral. A
westerly facing terrace offers vantage points to enjoy an evening aperitif whilst watching the sun set over the Luberon mountains.
The 12 x 6 metres swimming pool gets sun from dawn til dusk but
has ample shade around for those who wish to escape the midday sun. It
also remains fresh in summer and enjoys light breezes which make the
temperature very comfortable.
Inside the house there is a large sitting room where one can relax with
a book, listen to music or catch up with the latest world events on
satellite TV. This room has French doors opening on to the west facing
terrace and the courtyard
The
kitchen is set in a large vaulted room, which opens out to the courtyard.
It is extremely well equipped, with a 140cm LaCanche range cooker, a 3
metre central island, and dining area.
There
is a separate dining room next to the kitchen, with vaulted ceilings and a
fireplace for chilly evenings.
