Les Oliviers, is a charming three bedroom, three bath house cleverly installed in the historic stone building that once stored the grain for the mill. It is surrounded by century old olive trees, lavender, thyme rosemary and other beautiful flowering plants of Provence. The living area, kitchen and dining area open to the center courtyard where you also have a beautiful view of the brilliantly colored Bignone (climbing from the rock garden up the ancient stone wall to the forest) and a bank of lavender and rosemary.
This house is decorated in Provencal style with high-quality fabrics, furniture, and antiques. It is simple, rustic yet elegant and keeps the décor of Provence alive without overcrowding with too many small objects.
The living space is airy, cozy with plenty of light. There are exposed beamed ceilings, stone walls and a large old stone chimney typical of a Provencal mas. Large French windows and glass doors create a sunny and cheerful ambiance. A nice dining area adjoins this living space and provides a nice view of the central garden. In the living area, there is also a large screen television with English channels, stereo (mp3 and USB connection) and DVD player. You can enjoy relaxing in this comfortable salon with two large sofas and upholstered chairs.
Convenient to the living space is your own private terrace with teak furniture, parasol, lounge chairs and stone barbecue. Geraniums planted all along the wall adorn this terrace in addition to the old olive trees and lavender.
Also on the ground floor there a nice size bedroom with armoire and terrace access. It includes a bath with shower (bench) and sink and a private toilet room separate from the bath, also with sink.
On the second floor reached from a beautiful stone curved staircase, there are two additional bedrooms both with high exposed beam ceilings and walls, one bedroom having retained the original stone walls. Each bedroom has plenty of light and its own private bath, sink, and toilet. All are decorated in a colorful Provencal décor.
