The style & authenticity
|
The house has a huge open-plan living room/dining room/kitchen looking out over the garden and an 800-square-foot pool. There are three sets of double French doors opening directly onto the garden and terrace.
The tranquil walled garden is a spectacular feature with year-round sunshine from Roquebrun's micro-climate. There's plenty of shade for respite from the liquid-golden Mediterranean sunlight, provided by the 200-year-old pine and the olive and mimosa trees. Part of the garden is laid to lawn.
Oleander, vine, lemon and rose bushes provide colour and interest around the ancient chapel in the walled garden which belongs to one the oldest wine-growing families in the village.
The amenities of the village are within a block or two: shops, tourist office, restaurants, river swimming and canoeing and yet when you close the garden gate you enter our own oasis of calm and privacy.
This space offers everything we'll need in one of France's most beautiful villages... the village I get to call "home".

Our Additional Retreat Lodging
Additional retreat lodging is provided in a stylishly-renovated and very pleasant house on the edge of the village. This house is a 7-minute walk to the main retreat house.
Enjoy the charming garden and two terraces which boast breathtaking panoramic views of the old village, the river, the Roman bridge, and the mountains.
The 1200-square-foot house sleeps 4 in 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and 2 WCs. Two of the bedrooms are private/single occupancy; the third bedroom is shared/double occupancy.
The ground floor consists of a spacious open-plan kitchen/living room/dining room. All rooms have French windows overlooking the river and the old village.
The house is furnished with a mix of antique, brocante, and new.
A classic and cosy Godin wood stove on the main floor supplements the electric wall radiators throughout the house.

The 350-square-foot southwest-facing terrace is equipped with sun loungers and a large teak table.
The kitchen features a French door which opens to the large terrace with its gorgeous views over the Orb Valley and Roquebrun.
Higher up, the sloping little garden full of oleanders and other Mediterranean plants, there's a second, smaller, terrace. A lovely spot to relax, enjoy the stunning view or read a book.
This house is a 5-minute walk to the center of the village with its various amenities and its informal social hub, l'Orangerie, a friendly village shop owned by the charming Delphine and Yannick. L'Orangerie is a heaven of sorts -- a bread and pastry bakery, outdoor cafe, coffee shop/teahouse, and gelato shop -- all in one!
You're also half a block to a sweet little semi-private beach on the river Orb. |
