The house — 6 bedrooms, heated pool

The entrance opens onto a snug, then gives way to the great living space: a sitting area, a table for twelve, and a fully equipped kitchen. The glazed wall looks out on the garden, the pool and the covered terrace.

The stairs lead up to six bedrooms and five shower rooms. Bed linen and towels are provided.

Indoors

The living spaces

The living room

A long open volume set against the original stone wall. On one side the sitting area and its wood stove, on the other the great table and the glazing that frames the valley. This is where the house comes together.

The billiard room

A room apart, for the evenings: a billiard table, banquettes, a projector and a screen. The children settle in — and so do the adults.

The covered terrace

A timber frame, rattan pendants, and a table that seats the whole household. It lets you eat outside whatever the weather — and stay out long after dessert.

The pool and the grounds

The heated pool sits in the lawn, facing the view, overlooked by no one. Around it: wide grounds, an orchard, a pétanque court, a plancha and a barbecue.

The wood stove

In the shoulder seasons it warms the living room and changes the whole mood of the evening.

Sleeping

The bedrooms

The olive room

1 double bed, 160 × 200 2 people Private shower room upstairs

An olive-green wall, a double bed facing a tall angled window that frames the meadow. The shower room, open to the bedroom, closes the whole thing like a suite.

The terracotta room

1 double bed, 160 × 200 2 people Private shower room upstairs

A solid timber bed against a terracotta wall, a roof window pouring the morning light across the sheets. Private travertine shower room, walk-in shower.

The stone room

1 double bed, 160 × 200 2 people Private shower room upstairs

The most endearing of them, probably: the stone wall was left bare, a raffia pendant lights it from below, and a vintage bench waits beneath the roof window. Private shower room.
