Newly renovated in historic Lourmarin

This family house is located in the village of Lourmarin, officially one of the most beautiful villages of France. Stepping out of the front door, you will discover narrow streets, typical Provencal architectures, monuments and all the lively social places that give the village its soul.
Accessed from a central but quiet street, this Maison du Village will charm you from the minute you step inside the front door. It is a property of contrasts: while it's close to entertainment, it's also away from the crowds; bathed in sun but with plenty of shade; authentic Provence but with modern conveniences; enjoy central social spaces and other intimate areas; open-plan living combined with security; enclosed but not overlooked.
From the street to the gardens, you will feel like you've stepped into another world. On the ground floor, the owners have designed the large terrace at the heart of the property. With a marvellous view overlooking the swimming pool and gardens below, it is this link between the inside and the outside which makes for a convivial atmosphere.
On this main level are the kitchen and the living / dining room, which are nicely sheltered from the summer heat. And in winter you can warm yourself in front of the cozy open fireplace. There is a TV / video as well as high-speed internet (87MB) in all areas of the house. On this floor you will also find a guest WC.
The Provençal-style kitchen has all the necessary utensils, crockery and equipment, including an American-style fridge with built-in ice-maker. You could also enjoy your meals prepared on the plancha, outside on the terrace, sheltered from the wind and in the shade of large parasols.
Take a secure outdoor staircase down to the enclosed garden level (400m²) to discover the pool and landscaped garden. The pool (8x4m - depth of 1.1m to 1.5m) is perfect for both children and adults so everyone can swim and play with pleasure. Signed Jacques Brens, you benefit from the quality of finish and the fineness of the pool's marble powder-coating. There is also a large submerged bench facing the sun, with a whirlpool system. Although the pool is not heated, it has sun all day, which means the water will be a pleasant temperature even in the cooler months.
Nearby, there are eight sun loungers and four folding chairs and you can sit in the shade of large umbrellas (2.50x2.50 m) or under cover of the terrace above, and in the shade of the trees in the garden. This outdoor area, which is not overlooked by any neighbours, is perfect for sharing good memories of holidays and having an aperitif with family or friends in privacy and shade at the end of the afternoon (lounge 10/12 pers). An outdoor shower is also at your disposal to refresh you.
The upper level of the house is accessed via wooden stairs, where you will find:
