From the salon via a few stairs to the:
|
Dining Hall
- this beautiful and ancient vaulted room, with its original stone walls, dates from the 13th century and is the
oldest part of the house. Elegant dining for up to 10 people, dining table and benches in solid Australian raintree. |
|
There are two stairways leading from the Dining Room
- one gives access to the covered Terrace, and the other to the bedroom accommodation on the
first and second floors.
|
Terrace
- This enchanting open area has terracotta flooring and is furnished with wrought-iron chairs and a marble table (seating 6-7 persons), a sofa and many pots and plants. There are breathtaking views over the Luberon and the valley.
The terrace is an ideal spot to admire the view while enjoying breakfast, lunch or dinner - or just to relax and while away a sunny afternoon, or sip your aperitif prior to sunset. Velux windows in the roof can be remotely opened and closed, and/or the blinds drawn, to allow you to adjust the light to your requirements. Shutters are fitted to the façade to provide additional shade and security (on all windows). |

|
Garden
|
A typical feature of this type of house in a perched village is the garden separate from the house. Our small garden is a few steps away across the road and down a small path. It is not a formal garden but a simple and private spot, pleasantly shaded. The outlook is sensational
- uninterrupted views across to the Luberon. Garden furniture and loungers are provided. Please note though that use of this area is at your own risk
- in keeping with its natural aspect, there is no fencing.
