• Apartment:

This is a beautifully styled open plan space with unusual arcithectual details. This modern interior has been cleverly crafted from the shell of a ruined farmhouse with stones from the region (pierres de gards) which it wears almost like a disguise so not to spoil the natural setting.

The space is dominated by a wall of windows looking out onto the private courtyard with a shielding peak to protect from some of the sunshine.

Within there are several defined spaces:

- A comfortable seating area for relaxing and looking out to the courtyard and glimpses of the views beyond

- An indoor dining area for when you do not wish to eat outdoors.

- Then there is the sleeping area complete with 160cm bed and oriented so that you wake up with the windows in front of you.

- Behind the main open-plan space there is a kitchen, ideal for cooking for two, there are 2 hobs, a sink, fridge, toaster, and a Nespresso machine.

- On from the kitchen is the high ceilinged shower-room with large walk-in shower, w.c. and wash basin.

Outside there is a large private terrace garden with dining table and a shading umbrella. There is also a gas Plancha for cooking outside. From here you can walk out into the garden or through the gate to the pool terrace.

- Outside -

To the front of the house there is a beautifully planted courtyard garden and a sheltered terrace with a large table for outdoor dining.

The garden wraps around the left side of the house and expands out to the rear with far reaching views across the countryside. The views from the hillside look down on the nearby village of Villars about 2 km away and the Vaucluse hills. From here you can take advantage of the many walking trails. There are plenty of good restaurants to choose from in the nearby villages and in Villars itself there are 2 restaurants, a bar and a bakery (serving stone-baked bread).

To the right of the house you can access the gated 16m x 2.50m lap pool which has been cleverly built into the remains of the original building. The pool is ideal for swimming laps, it even features a built in lounging area (3.80m) in the water so you can look over the infinity edge and enjoy the views from 2 sides.

The pool terrace has sun loungers for relaxing in the sun and a sheltered space for those that prefer a shaded spot.

There is parking at the front of the house for several cars.

Just 10 minutes will take you to the interesting medieval village of Roussillon, a few minutes more there is Gordes and Menerbes too. The region to the north and east of Villar also holds many hidden villages that rest almost untouched from the medieval beginnings.

The cities of Avignon. Aix en Provence and Marseille can be reached within an hour to hour and a half and so will the local beaches near Marseille
