What we like
- Location: A peaceful location but only 1 mile from all the amenities of the market town of Apt in one direction, and 2 miles to the lovely perched medieval village of Saignon in the other direction.
- Price: This is a very reasonably priced 5-bedroom house with pool in the heart of the sought-after Luberon natural park.
- Pizza oven: You haven’t tasted pizza until you have made your own in a real wood-burning pizza oven.
- Hiking: The Luberon is great hiking terrain and here you are on one of the main arteries, which you can join right from the gate.
Things to note
- Pool security: The pool area is gated but extra care and attention are needed for young children.
- Young children: A small stream runs just below the property and is not fenced off.
Guest reviews
Provence Pines is in the countryside 1 mile from the market town of Apt and 1.5 miles from the village of Saignon.
Saignon has the most distinctive outline of any Provence village with its 100ft-high sheer cliff face, sitting high above the market town of Apt. The village is a typical medieval set-up with lovely little streets and squares to explore. Saignon has had no fewer than 3 castles in its time, with the remains to prove it, and it also has an imressive 12th century Romanesque church. Saignon has a couple of restaurants and a good bakery. And as you would expect from its perched setting, there are wonderful views, as far as Avignon on a clear day.
