If you keep the bedroom doors open, it remains pleasantly cool in the bedrooms even in the height of summer.

French doors lead out onto a large (partially covered) terrace. Behind this is your swimming pool. The jacuzzi is on the terrace. Behind the house is a boules court. Behind the swimming pool is a small court with a net for playing volleyball or badminton. The table tennis table is at the side of the house.

Wi-Fi, television, dishwasher, washing machine, coffee maker, kettle, juicer, gas hob, microwave, oven, fridge, freezer, barbecue, iron, board games.

The house is situated on a very large plot of land on which the owner has built two other houses. So there are neighbours, but you’ll have complete privacy.

Barjols is situated approximately 55 km from Aix-en-Provence and 30 km from the Gorges du Verdon and Lac de Sainte-Croix. The Mediterranean Sea is just over an hour’s drive away.
