About this property

Artist's Paradise in Provence! - Views, Peace, Village Centre

Our more than 200 year old stone house is in a dominant location in the heart of the beautiful listed village of Fontaine de Vaucluse, famous for its freshwater spring.

Come and enjoy this sunny haven of peace, its breathtaking views over the village, river, castle ruins and cliffs and its flowering Provence-style terraces lulled by the river below.

Bathed in sunlight, spacious and just a 2 minute walk from the many restaurants, little shops, sites, riverside park, museums, fishing, kayaking...

Outdoors we have two typical Provencal stone courtyards giving you a choice of sun or shade:

- one sunny open courtyard with table, chairs and flowering plants
- one semi-covered courtyard (25m²) with a large dining table and chairs in the shade, a small table in the sun (ideal for breakfast!), a BBQ, summer kitchen..

The house is approved by Gites de France and is east and west facing. The 80m² interior is bathed in natural light and entirely renovated:

Ground floor: Large fully equipped kitchen/dining room (28m²); double bedroom with en suite bathroom (shower and toilet).

First floor: Large living room with a double sofa bed and a second sofa (25m²); bathroom (shower and toilet); twin bedroom.

Possibility to create a family floor with independent access from the courtyard.

Travel cot available.

Sleeps 4 to 6 people.

Free parking in the village.

Access to the house is by about sixty shallow stone steps (hence the great views and peace and quiet!). No problem for healthy people of all ages and the local supermarket has a delivery service!

There is a public open air public swimming pool in the village in summer.

Truly paradise!
A lifelong freind and I chose to celebrate our 60th birthdays here. We spent 3 delightful weeks in this beautifully rustic home in the most picturesque village I could imagine. The host was perfect. The atmosphere relaxing. To many businesses disappointment, I rarely give perfect grades. But to this... I rate it a perfect 10! Ther is not one thing I would change. Thank you, Joanne!

Petit paradis
Lorsque vous arrivez dans la maison, vous êtes tout de suite conquis par la vue de la terrasse … c’est majestueux. Nous avons par ailleurs passé un séjour vraiment très agréable dans cette maison blottie au cœur du village de Fontaine-de-Vaucluse. Recommandation ++++

Wir wären am liebsten dageblieben.
Das Haus ist wunderschön und erhöht gelegen am Fluss mit beeindruckendem Blick zum Chateau, Ort und auf die Felsen, die je nach Lichteinfall immer unterschiedlich aussahen. Es war bis ins Detail sehr liebevoll ausgestattet mit allem, was man zum Leben brauchen könnte. Im anliegenden Terrassengarten tanzten bunte Libellen zwischen Blumen, Oleander und dem Mispelbaum. Die Gegend ist herrlich, die Quelle war imposant und im Ort gab es einige gute Restaurants. Die Lage ist strategisch günstig für Ausflüge in die Luberon-Bergdörfer und nach Avignon. Die Vermieterin, Joanne, war sehr sympathisch und engagiert und stand mit Rat, Tat und Ausflugstipps zur Seite. Unser Liebling war der Gartenzwerg mit Ausblick, wir fühlten uns wie zu Hause.
