The Marche

Stone-built and practically glowing in the southern France sunshine, this home is ideal for cyclists and hikers. It’s a fifteen-minute ride to the medieval village of Gordes and for a real challenge, you can head on to the slopes of Mount Ventoux. Hikers can hit the trails of Les Gorges de Véroncle, a short walk away. The walled garden is home to a summer kitchen for lazy lunches outside and the swimming pool awaits after a day’s exertion. Sleek and monochrome, the open living area and kitchen belies the traditional exterior. The ground-floor bedroom opens up to the poolside terrace and both upstairs rooms have sweeping countryside views.

Home truths:
*For those with reduced mobility, there's a ground-floor bedroom and bathroom here.
*The ensuite to bedroom two is a jack-and-jill bathroom shared with bedroom three.
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair for free. You'll need to request them in advance.
*The swimming pool isn't fenced. If you're bringing little ones, they'll need to be supervised at all times.
*Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. There's private parking on the driveway.
