Photos and Description of this Apt holiday house 3 bedrooms (2 double , 1 twin) , 2 bathrooms, sleeps 2 - 7

A spacious 17th medieval house, with original terracotta tiles, provencal ceilings and inset oak cupboards throughout, and a roof terrace for sun bathing! The reception room is large and has a high ceiling, and the kitchen is fully equipped with a working fireplace. Thick walls ensure that the house is cool in the summer, and the central heating is efficient in the winter. This is very much a family home, with the owners coming as often as possible with children from 17 to one! Saignon is beautiful and unspoilt, and children can play around the fountain on the square in front of the house, and explore the village with its ruins and 12th century church. Approx. 1 hour's drive to Marseille (with its creeks and beaches). the Camargue(Arles), Aix en Provence, and Avignon. The other Luberon hilltop villages(Gordes, Lacoste, Menerbes) are 20 min’s away, and Apt, a bustling market town is 5 min’s away with a fabulous large and clean municipal pool with children's pools.

The house is just set back from the village square, with the boulangerie next door, and the village shop a few doors down with basic supplies. There are two good restaurants in the village, one of which also serves as a bar in the summer, and has a large pretty terrace on the village square.

Further details for this holiday house rental in Apt, France

This location and house is perfect for getting away from it all... All basics can be found in the village, the village is fascinating to walk round with endless nooks and crannies, and a fantastic ‘rock’ which you can climb up to and survey the entire valley. The house itself feels very warm and loved, with furniture collected over the years by the owners who spend as much time as possible here, including in the winter with the fire blazing in the kitchen, and the cold, sunny weather of Provence. For those who wish to be on the move, there are a thousand different things to visit and do locally....and for those who need water, the pool in Apt is huge and clean, with two smaller children and toddlers pools and a picnic area, and fairly empty in our experience, even during holiday times.

Authentic Provence

Jane and Roy Vancouver
Review Submitted: September 21, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
Staying in the small hilltop town of Saignon gave us the feeling of being away from it all! This home has a comfortable, relaxed feeling with a lot of privacy. We spent all of our evenings dining on foods from the surrounding markets and relaxing on the roof top patio gazing at the stars. With so many sights close by we never felt rushed through our days. Most of our day trips were made by driving along the back roads of Provence, and reaching wonderful spots to visit or hike all within an hour. The owners were very friendly and gave us good advice on restaurants and local sights.We had a great week there!

Unspoilt charm

Review Submitted: August 23, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2008
The description provided is accurate and the house is delightful in the centre of an unspoilt village, and is kept clean and well maintained. We have rented the property five times from 2002 to 2008, and every year have enjoyed using it as a base for walking, sightseeing and enjoying the restaurants in the beautiful Luberon region. I would recommend, and have recommended, this property to friends.
