Apartment St Antoine
General Description
- The advantage of this lovely little apartment for 2 to 4 people is that it's within a much larger independent villa, which means there's a huge garden and great swimming pool at your disposal.
- It's situated just 5 minutes drive from the beautiful Provencal town of Isle-sur-Sorgue, famous for it's waterways, water mills and antiques.
- A country road leads through the pine forest and you enter the property through private gates. Within the walled gardens there's plenty of pine and olive trees offering shade for relaxing in the hammock and al fresco dining in the summer. The pool is large and private and the whole place feels calm and tranquil.
- This ground floor apartment has it's own separate entrance around the side of the house with a private terrace. There are 2 bedrooms, kitchen/living/dining area and a bathroom (sleeps 3/4).
The Local Area
- It's quite understandable if you just want to chill out at the apartment, relax by the pool or sit in the shady garden. Plenty of games are provided including a ping-pong table, boules, a set of children's swings and a tree-rope for aspiring young Tarzans. There's even darts and a chessboard.
- The town of L'Isle sur la Sorgue, just 3km away, is famous for it's numerous waterways and mills, for its many restaurants along the canal banks and above all for its antique shops. There are no fewer than 350 "Antiquaires", which makes it second only to Paris in the antiques trade.
- If you're feeling sporty, the excellent Golf County Club is just round the corner, there's horse-riding 8 km away and the area is well known for great cycling and walking routes.
- Not far away there's St Remy-de-Provence, famous for its Roman architecture, Les Baux with its ruined castle and unique rock formations or Avignon with the Palace of the Popes. Slightly further afield, but still within easy reach you'll find Marseille with its famous waterfront, the Amphitheatre at Nimes and the cultured avenues of Aix-en-Provence.
