Villa Les Vanels enjoys a sunny south-facing aspect with a u-shape layout around the spacious pool. This, along with a mature hedge to the front, offers a good deal of privacy and shelter for the pool and surrounding sun terrace.
On the first floor the sun terrace offers some wonderful views across the local vineyards, orchards and distant Luberon mountain range. This is a wonderful place to come and stay for a relaxing break right on the edge of the much admired Luberon region.
The very well-equipped summer kitchen is a real delight. Located right beside the pool it has the additional benefit of having a large and relaxing sheltered corner area. Clients tend to spend a lot of time in the summer kitchen cooking delicious meals, whilst watching the children playing in the pool or simply enjoying the views.
With the market town of Apt only 10 minutes’ drive away, a couple of supermarkets at just 1.5 km and a track from the house that takes you to the village of Villars with restaurants, bars and shops in 20-30 minutes on foot, one could say that everything is on your doorstep!
This recently renovated and attractive property can comfortably accommodate ten people (and on request up to twelve people, 10 adults and 2 children maximum, at an additional charge).

Property size: 260m².

We spent a wonderful week in this property! The house is perfect in every way: pleasant bedrooms with several bathrooms.
