What we like


  • Size:  The house sleeps 18 with almost every bedroom having its own bathroom and with the flexibility in 4 bedrooms of being either a double or twin.
  • Outdoor fun:  Plenty of options for everyone – a newly laid tennis court with lighting, boules court, ping pong table and a large pool.
  • Location:  Quiet countryside setting, but you can be in the lively town of Isle-sur-la-Sorgue in 10 minutes.
  • Courtyard:  The centre of the home is the sheltered courtyard around which life revolves, where days are planned and adventures recounted.

Things to note


  • Pool security:  The pool is alarmed but not fenced so care is needed with younger children.
