What we like
- Location: It’s lovely to have Roussillon and its amenities close by, but also be in a quiet country setting.
- View: It’s a big,big view, you can just sit watching the light and shadows change through the day.
- Price: Good price for the 5 bedrooms and the level of amenities.
- Outside: Everything faces south to the sun and the view, and places to relax and have fun have been well thought out.
Things to note
- Pool alarm: The pool has an alarm but extra care is needed with young children. The pool is open from April to October.
Guest reviews
The Ochre House is in the countryside 2km (1.2 miles) from the village of Roussillon.
Roussillon is one of the most recognisable villages in France. It used to be known for its ochre quarry, now it is known for the spectacular palette of ochre shades that colour the houses – there are said to be 17 different hues from yellow to pink. Roussillon is not just a pretty face, as a popular village it has several restaurants, art boutiques and a quaint market on Thursday mornings, so it is a good village base too. Not to mention the other-worldly ochre quarry which you can visit on a circuit of the ochre walk (sentier des ocres).
