The owners have designed the swimming pool so that guests will be able to swim comfortably. It is rectangular and coated with tiles, it is 45 x 20 feet.

It is cool to sit on the large steps to enjoy a glass of Rosé and keep a watchful eye of the children…

By the pool, one can lounge on comfortable “chaises longues” under the parasols that shade the 1,200 square feet stone terrace or one can prefer the shade of the oak trees and other trees around.

The 25,000 square feet garden is fenced (the main reason being the wild boars that enjoy bathing in the pool or digging holes in the garden…).

The Villa is enchanting! The house is well appointed and extremely comfortable. The interior is charming, yet very modern and clean. The decor is simple yet stunning, not pretentious, but 1st class. The kitchen is a dream to cook in, the outside dining area was a favorite. The pool is magnificent, large and heated. The three weeks spent around the outside dining table and late afternoon swims made Provence just perfect. As wonderful as the house and its environs are, the owners made the stay even more memorable. Marie-Francoise and Yves are warm, hospitable, and extremely knowledgeable about the area. We had our own personal tour guides as they would help plot out each day's adventures. If you are looking for a place to rent in Provence, this is it ! Lorgues is a lovely town, with wonderful market and cafes and restaurants. We all experienced a little bit of heaven for 3 weeks staying in this perfect house.
