Wonderful Villa with heated pool in the heart of the Alpilles

The huge bright rooms let in the light thanks to the large bay windows which, when they are open, let you imagine that the garden is in the continuity of the main room. Like many houses, here in Provence, it is good to live inside, in search of freshness, or outside when the sun rises or when the day falls to give way to the coolness of the night.

The location of this pretty building in the Provençal countryside offers an outdoor universe rich in multiple Mediterranean species of cypresses, plane trees, olive trees, oleanders, fig trees... give this space a feeling of freedom.

The large azure blue swimming pool, placed in the middle of this little corner of paradise, gives the whole a perfect aesthetic. Several corners of relaxation have been thought out, at different locations, either to savour a lively meal, or to sip an aperitif, while listening to the sound of the countryside falling asleep.

Heated swimming pool, 10m x 3m chlorine filtration, secured by an electric curtain including a covered area / pool house. Ample private parking

The Villa is located between Mausanne and Mouries both a few minutes drive to these lively villages with its shops, many bars & restaurants. Also the charming picturesque village of Eygalières is not far away.

There are many other interesting villages nearby such as St. Remy de Provence, the birthplace of the 16th Century astrologer Nostradamus and just outside the town is the impressive Greco-Roman archaeological site of Glanum.

Villages such as Les Baux de Provence and Fontvielle and the remote and mysterious wetlands of the Camargue (one of Europe’s most important nature reserves, known especially for its pink flamingos, fighting bulls and wild horses) and all around the scent of rosemary, thyme and lavender.

A short 30 minutes drive north is the beautiful walled city of Avignon - a UNESCO World Heritage Site – the medieval city of Popes, with the biggest gothic palace in the world. Pont de Guard – also a World Heritage Site – the incredible triple height aqueduct bridge built by the Romans, which delivered pure water to the Roman baths and fountains at Nîmes to the west, with its impressive Roman arena.

To the south, the city of Arles with its roman arena (holdings 20,000 spectators) and the nearest beach at St. Maries de la Mer (¾ hour’s drive).

The Camargue offers wonderful opportunities to ride, bicycle and walk in this fascinating area.
