La Bergerie is a charming stone barn which has been lovingly restored to create a comfortable and modern holiday home whilst still retaining its Provencal character. Benefitting from its own heated swimming pool, the barn is surprisingly large inside (230m) and has three double en-suite bedrooms, all on the first floor. One en-suite bedroom has a double bed, the second en-suite has two single beds and the third en-suite bedroom has a double bed and also a further double bed that can be used either as another bed or a day bed. This last bedroom is very large and if required, the owners can put the two single beds in this room together with one double bed, thus accommodating 8 people instead of 6.
On the ground floor there is an entrance hall with cloakroom, a large sitting room with two comfortable x three seater sofas and chairs, coffee table, wood burning stove, writing area, satelite TV (French and English programmes), DVD and Wifi. Glass patio doors look out of the sitting room to a courtyard area with an olive tree towards the rear of the house where the owners live. Both properties are completely private and have their own separate entrances. Also on the ground floor is a characterful vaulted kitchen and dining area. The kitchen is fully fitted with a new electric double oven, electric hob, microwave and American style fridge/freezer with ice-making facility. The kitchen is well stocked for up to eight people and in the dining areas there is a modern dining table and chairs. A door leads out from the dining area to the terrace which has spectacular uninterrupted views of the surrounding countryside. There is an outside dining area on the terrace with its own barbecue. Next to the terrace is the pool (9x4 m). This has a powered pool security cover and is heated from May to September. There are loungers and parasols round the pool. The peaceful garden sits alongside the barn. It affords spectacular uninterrupted views of the hills, vineyards and olive grove.
