A family house with private pool in the heart of Provence

Pertuis is an authentic little city located in the heart of Provence between the Mediterranean Sea and the Southern Alps. It is the ideal starting point to visit the Luberon region, its typical villages and beautiful landscapes of vineyards and lavender, while being only 20 minutes by car from Aix en Provence, 45 minutes from Marseille and 1 hour from Avignon city of the Popes. You will experience the local markets, the Provencal cuisine, the historical heritage of our region and the many music and theatre festivals during the summer season. Our region offers many opportunities for hiking, biking and water sports.

Our family house is located in a residential area of Pertuis, next to the tennis club. Our house is approximately 130 sqm. We have a private pool.
On the ground floor, there is the open kitchen and the living room which opens directly onto our garden. Bathroom with shower tub and toilet. We also have a music room with several instruments.
On the first floor : there are 3 bedrooms (1 master bedroom 160X200, 2 children bedrooms 140x190); one study room with a small extra bed; a spare room with access to the balcony overlooking the garden ; one bathroom and toilet.
The garden is shaded by olive trees and Mediterranean plants, We cultivate a small vegetable garden during the summer.

Car exchange is possible.

Unfortunatly, our house is not adapted for young children as there is no safety barriers in the stairs, neither around the swimming pool.

French version

Pertuis est une petite ville authentique située au cœur de la Provence, entre la mer Méditerranée et les Alpes du Sud. C'est le point de départ idéal pour visiter la région du Luberon, ses villages typiques et ses magnifiques paysages de vignes et de lavande, tout en étant à seulement 20 minutes en voiture d'Aix en Provence, 45 minutes de Marseille et 1 heure d'Avignon, cité des Papes. Vous découvrirez les marchés locaux, la cuisine provençale, le patrimoine historique de notre région et les nombreux festivals de musique et de théâtre pendant la saison estivale. Notre région offre de nombreuses possibilités de randonnées, de cyclisme et de sports nautiques.

Notre maison familiale de 130 m2 est située dans un quartier résidentiel de Pertuis, à côté du club de tennis. Nous disposons depuis peu d'une piscine privée.
Au rez-de-chaussée : la cuisine ouverte et le salon donnent directement sur le jardin. Une salle de douche ; toilettes. Nous avons également un studio musique avec plusieurs instruments.
Au premier étage : il y a 3 chambres (1 chambre principale avec un lit 160X200, 2 chambres d'enfants avec des lits en 140x190) ; un bureau avec un petit lit d'appoint ; un salon de jeu avec balcon donnant sur le jardin ; une salle de bain et des toilettes séparées.
Le jardin est ombragé par des oliviers et des plantes méditerranéennes. En général, nous cultivons un petit potager pendant l'été qu'il faut arroser de temps en temps.

L'échange de voitures est possible.

Nous attirons votre attention sur le fait que notre maison n'est pas adaptée aux très jeunes enfants car il n'y a pas de barrières de sécurité dans les escaliers, ni autour de la piscine.
