Luxury Lorgues Holiday Home for Rent in Provence, France

Lorgues is a small, hill village dating from 1100's with an outstanding Provencal market and great restaurants. The main street is shaded by Plane trees with small shops and local cafes that invite one to linger over wine and coffee and croissants watching the world go by. Lorgues is located in the middle of wineries and fields of olive trees. It's in the center of the department of the Var between the Mediterranean Sea and the Gorges du Verdon.

Previously the residence of local monks, the house is at the top of the village on a quiet cul de sac that is less than a 3 minute walk from the main street, called La Grange. Its medieval lineage shows in the stone fleur de lys carving indicating it is one of the town's oldest dwellings.

This charming 1500 sq.ft holiday house is set on two floors. The house was well renovated 5 years ago by a local designer and the property enjoys both a cosy and spacious feel. It boasts the most beautiful, well equipped kitchen. The kitchen includes an excellent new 5 burner stove, frig, freezer, dishwasher, micro, coffee maker and all necessary crockery and utensils. If you enjoy cooking, we recommend purchasing some of the delicacies from the local markets! We hardly ever really cook, but often enjoy eating dinner at home after a day exploring the hill towns or at the coast or the golf course, and it's wonderful to prepare our purchases in such an ambiance... or on hot days take a simple dinner to the patio and contemplate the 1000 year old town wall adjacent to the courtyard.

The ground floor of the house comprises the kitchen, a living room with seating for 6, a fireplace, Television with both English and French channels, plus a stereo. The dining room table seats 6 to 8, and gives onto a courtyard through large glass doors.

On the second floor, the master bedroom is very large and light with tall ceilings, a skylight, and windows that open onto the courtyard. The air conditioner in the master bedroom keeps things comfortable in hot weather, but the house is stone and keeps cool itself as it is shaded during the hottest part of the day. There is a large bath with tadlakt finishes like those used on the palaces of Morocco. There is a large tub and shower wand, heated towel rack and a closet with washer, dryer, iron, etc. Hair dryers are included. This bedroom has its own study with desk, lounge chair and internet and computer hooked to the internet. Just turn it on and get your email.

The second bedroom is of good size with comfortable bed, closet and separate bath with sink and walk in shower. There is a separate toilet room.

The stairway leading to the 2nd floor is modern with an unguarded open side making it dangerous for small children. For this reason and the high quality of some of the furniture,the house is not suitable for small children.

There is parking, when available, in the courtyard next door. If not, in one of 2 town lots a block away.
