Provence Country Club (2 Bed Grand)
General Description
- Situated in the exceptional surroundings of the Saumane golf course, this superb residence consists of small Provencal style houses divided into apartments.
- There are one and two bedroom apartments available in four different configurations making them comfortable for between 2 and 8 people.
- They all have their own terrace or balcony so you can relax with your evening aperitifs, accompanied by the song of the cicadas which inhabit the beautiful countryside.
- You also have access to some superb facilities including a swimming pool, gymnasium and 2 tennis courts.
- There is also a great restaurant on site which has two terraces, one which traps the morning sun with a view of the 1st hole and the other the evening sun with a view of the 18th.
- Provence Country Club’s new restaurant is open from 8h00 to 22h00 everyday, along with its adjoining Bar (opening times subject to change locally)
- There is also a conference room and business centre available on site with access to both internet and fax.
The Local Area
- The golf is the most obvious activity and the facilities and course are sure not to disappoint! A 20% discount off Green Fees is available to guests staying at the Residence.
- You get a real flavour of Provence on this course, the air full with the scent of the surrounding vegetation; fragrant lavender, rosemary and thyme, enhanced if you should have to enter the rough!
- The course is a real challenge as well. Thoughtfully laid out, it is a beautiful 18 hole, 6610 metre par 72 course which benefits from perfectly maintained greens and fairways
- Besides the golf, there is plenty more to see and do in the area; Medieval hilltop Provencal villages (Gordes and La Coste), the antiques centre of Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, the red ochre town of Rousillion or just plain old beautiful French countryside - they are all on your doorstep from the Provence Country Club.
- There are plenty of local markets to visit; all the big ones are nearby, Avignon, Aix-en-Provence, Marseilles and the melon centre of the world, Cavaillon! However, the smaller local farmers markets, found in all the villages on different days, are also well worth a visit
- For a Roman theme how about Saint Remy de Provence or Les Baux de Provence (the 2nd most visited attraction in France), both are just a short drive away.
- Sports and activities include excellent canoeing, walking, cycling, fishing, tennis and horseriding.
