Description
Les deux Bastides is nestled in the village of Les Taillades, in the heart of Provence, and only 700 meters from cafes and boulangeries. This ancient village and its\' beautiful surrounding area inspired such authors as Jean Giono and Marcel Pagnol. Must-see towns such as Aix en Provence, St. Remy and Gordes are just a short drive away. This fully-renovated 18th century property consists of two independent houses, each with privacy and situated in a magnificent park filled with trees. Up to 18 guests can comfortably stay in these two houses that are 30 meters apart. It is a perfect property for a large family gathering; the two houses let families spread out and enjoy privacy while at the same time gather as a group around the saltwater pool, or enjoy a meal together. The homes are both tastefully decorated and enhanced with typical Provencal materials such as stone, wrought-iron, tiles and wood beams.
The first of the two houses is very spacious and has four bedrooms each with ensuite bathrooms, for a total of eight guests. Six guests will find the second house very comfortable with its three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. This house offers a private terrace and parking area as well. Both homes offer lovely Provencal kitchens and spacious, comfortable living areas.
A stay at Les deux Bastides is sure to create lasting memories of Provence!
Air conditionning in all bedrooms of the main house (only bedrooms) available as of June 2015. A bar has been recently added.
