This property is situated on the picturesque Vauvenargues road, 10 kilometres from Aix en Provence, in a dramatic rocky setting, dominated by Mont Ste Victoire. The village of Vauvenargues with its chateau, once the home of Picasso, as well as a well stocked grocery shop and boulangerie, is 1 kilometre away.
Built in traditional stone, with blue shutters, the rooms open to a flat lawned garden, with lavender, olive trees, cypress and oleander. There are views to a pine forest just beyond, and in the other direction behind the house, to the rocky mountainous landscape.. Within the garden, there is a fenced wimming pool (11 x 6m) with whirlpool at one end, good for children, as the shallow end slopes gradually. The garden has night lighting and there is also a ping pong table.
The spacious and light interiors are simply, but tastefully furnished in a traditional style. The living and dining room open to the terrace and garden and, off the kitchen there is a summer dining area with barbecue. Amenities include satellite TV, VCR, CD stereo and internet access. The property is accessed by electric security gates and there is an alarm system in the house.
