The master bedroom features a teak bed with lovely Chinese headboard and large windows on two walls, offering views of the terrace and pool.

The airy, bright bathroom features a long vanity with 2 sinks and a beautiful tub with hand shower. There is also a separate shower room with sink.
From the living room, a magnificent sandstone staircase leads to the large, second- floor office/library. A huge, sliding picture window offers a breathtaking view of the Luberon Mountains. An antique desk in front of the window provides a wonderful place to enjoy the landscape while you catch up on your correspondence or begin working on that book you have always wanted to write. There is also a double bed, a couch, and a single daybed at one end of the large office area. There are English and French books, guide books, toys, games, and a Foosball/Baby Foot.
Exterior Description:
A doorway leads from the second floor onto a terrace at the front of the villa that overlooks the Luberon Mountains. It is the ideal spot for watching the sunset while enjoying the local wine or for spectacular stargazing. The sheltered, southern exposure terrace off the living/dining room behind the house is the perfect place for breakfast or a romantic dinner. From the terrace, a few steps lead up to the pool and deck, bordered by a small garden. The full size tennis court overlooks the Luberon. A private road leads past the cherry orchard to this unique property, which enjoys complete privacy. In this beautiful country setting, you will enjoy the extraordinary light and colour of Provence that inspired Van Gogh and Cézanne. The distinctive sound of the cicadas (cigales) and the intoxicating perfumes of wild herbs will delight your senses.
