Property Details

Relax and take in the view.....
Les Cyprès is set in a delightful, landscaped garden with cherry and olive trees, a boule court and private swimming pool. It's just 500m from the village of St Saturnin Lès Apt and enjoys fabulous views towards the pretty village of Villars and the Luberon Mountains. The gardens are fully enclosed and have different areas where you can sit and read, relax or just admire the views.

Les Cyprès has been completely refurbished and has a new kitchen and two new bathrooms. It blends Provençal style with comfortable modern living.

The villa provides three flexible, good-sized bedrooms, the largest has a king sized bed with French doors opening on to the terrace; the second bedroom can be used as a family room with a double bed and sofa/single bed and the third bedroom has twin beds which together can make a large double.

The main bathroom has a bath with hand held shower and also a separate walk-in shower, large basin and w.c. The shower room, which separates bedrooms 1 & 2, has a tiled walk-in shower, basin and w.c. There is also a cloakroom with w.c. and hand basin.

The fully fitted kitchen has an eye level electric oven with grill, a 4 ring gas hob, large fridge freezer, dishwasher and microwave, toaster, kettle and coffee maker.

The dining area has a table and 6 chairs and the comfortable lounge area has ample seating, a television, which receives both English and French channels, with DVD. French doors from this room open to the terrace, where there is sun canopy and patio furniture.

As well as a DVD player there is an ipod docking station. If you need to check your e mails there is high speed broadband wireless internet connection for your use.

The swimming pool (8m x 4m) has a spacious decked surround that provides plenty of space for sunbathing and offers complete privacy - 6 sun loungers are supplied. Linen and towels (including pool side) are provided. Because eating outside is taken for granted for most of the year, a barbecue is also provided.

Finally please note that as Les Cyprès is set in mature, landscaped gardens with some steps therefore it may not be suitable for very small children or people with mobility problems.



The Luberon.

This spectacular range of mountains rises over 1000 metres. At Mourre Nègre (visible from Les Cyprès) reached by foot, there are fine views towards Digne, the Durance valley and Apt basin, whilst in the far distance the L’Etang de Berre (next to Marseille airport!) and Mont Ventoux can also be seen. As well as lavender fields there is a fort at Buoux, where the cliff faces are world famous for rock climbing.

The Luberon is also known for its delightful villages such as Lourmarin, Menerbes, Lacoste and Bonnieux, the latter made famous by Peter Mayle’s ‘A year in Provence’ all have their own individual charm.

Gordes is a stunning perched village (19 kms), where you can visit the Abbey de Senanque, the Chateau de Gordes and the village des bories.

The Colorado Provencal runs from Rustrel to Roussillon where the quarried ochre is used in the colouring of its houses. This picturesque village is just 12 km from Les Cyprès.

Markets

Provence is renowned for its markets; there is one to be found almost every day of the week providing an overwhelming choice of mouth watering fresh produce together with Provencal gifts and souvenirs. One of the largest takes place in Apt every Saturday, one of our favourites is at Coustellet on a Sunday, where all the produce sold is grown locally. Others of note include Forcalquier on Mondays and St Remy de Provence on Thursdays.

Further a field.

Fontaine de Vaucluse (32kms), is a popular tourist village and also the source of the River Sorgue where you can either kayak or canoe to L’Isle sur La Sorgue, the antiques capital of Provence.




The historic walled city of Avignon (55kms), the gateway to Provence offers a wide selection of attractions including Palais des Papes, occupied by the Popes during the 14th Century, Pont St-Bénézet, the bridge mentioned in the rhyme ‘Sur le pont d’Avignon’ as well as a host of museums, churches and an array of boutiques, shops and restaurants. The world famous Avignon Festival takes place in July.


Les Baux de Provence (64kms) is the number one tourist attraction in France with nearly two million visitors a year. This dramatic fortress sits on a spur of the Alpilles with views across to the Camargue, a vast flat wetland famous for its flamingos, black bulls and white horses.

The cosmopolitan town of Aix en Provence (65kms) is a must with its impressive buildings, up market boutiques and café atmosphere. Marseille (93kms), France’s premier port and oldest major city, centred on the Vieux Port, offers an insight into the multi cultural side of France as well as excellent shopping and dining experiences including bouillabaisse, a seafood gastronomy.

The Roman cities of Orange (68kms), Arles (83kms) and Nimes (98kms) are all worth visiting.

For the wine enthusiast the picturesque region of the Rhone Valley is a must with Chateauneuf-Du-Pape (69kms) being one of the most famous along side Vacqueyras, Gigondas and Beaumes de Venise.


The coast also offers delightful villages and beaches, such as Cassis
(114kms) Or you can head further east to the Cote D’Azur including Cannes, Antibes & Nice.
