Further details for this holiday house rental in Fournes, France

Walking distance to swimming, canoeing, fishing. Mediterranean sea 50 mins, Horse Riding in village, GR Walks, Biking, Bird Watching, Bulls, Flamingoes, Music & Festivals. Fournes is a small working village, about 20 kms west of Avignon. Population 650. Its origins are mediaeval. It is sited on a small hillock quite close to the autoroute - our (southern) side of the hill is protected from sight & sound of it -surrounded by vineyards and ‘garrigue’. There are no tourists. The house - once 4 dwellings - is not luxurious but it is comfortable, full of character, roomy and fun for those whom it suits. The entrance to the house is, as yet, unrestored, but don't be put off - thereafter you occupy the well restored quarters. There is no air conditioning but with thick walls and a good through breeze it is generally very comfortable. Electric fans are available for heatwaves.

Ground floor: Ensuite blue Bathroom/Bedroom with twin 3' beds, marble fireplace, basement balcony. 1st floor: huge L shaped open plan living space (comprising kitchen, dining and sitting areas) with large stone fireplace. Through antique swing doors to double/study bedroom. The stone bathroom is adjacent, on the mezzanine floor of the large entrance hall of the house. The ground floor of the hall itself is not yet restored so currently it is used only for storage. The cool shaded terrace and a south facing balcony are also on this floor. Top floor: study/bedroom with sofa bed & a separate shower unit. Sliding glass wall (double glazed) gives access to the top terrace with panoramic views. Our private garage parking by arrangement (not always possible), or else municipal (free) car park close by.
