Private vacation home

Set within the framework of the breathtaking Alpilles hills, this cottage stands in grounds of 2 hectares (5 acres), about 1km from the centre of Eygalières - regarded by some to be prettiest village in Provence - and reached by a mostly unmetalled lane. The owner's family occupy two adjacent properties but they share none of the facilities of the cottage nor affect its privacy: there are no other houses within several hundred metres. All rooms in this cottage open to a partly-walled terrace with sun canopy, table, parasol and chairs and the excellent 10m x 6m pool (0.8-2.5m deep), beyond which a gently terraced garden gradually fades into the hillside, rising into the glorious Alpilles hills, their lower slopes taken up by olive groves and vineyards. A paradise of tranquility and yet within 20 minutes drive of Avignon and 1 hour of Marseille airport.
