About the Property

The dining room in the Cottage

Coule Fontaine, an old Provençal homestead near the village of Sablet, dates back to the 16th century and has been fully renovated into two holiday rental homes.

The property consists of a two-storey traditional stone cottage, which accommodates four guests in two bedrooms, with room for an extra guest, and an independent annex called Vole-Feuillage, which has one bedroom for a couple. Both units can be rented together at a discount for groups of six or seven.

The village of Sablet across the vineyards

A large cherry orchard is next to Coule Fontaine, and vineyards surround the property on all sides. The property enjoys uninterrupted views of the villages of Sablet, Séguret, and the Dentelles hills.

Sablet, the nearest village, is a ten minute walk. The house is the last property along a quiet rural lane, so there is no passing traffic.

Special features:

• Pets welcomed
• Bilingual assistance available on site

The Cottage|Rental information

The living area

The centuries-old two-storey traditional stone cottage has been carefully restored to accommodate four guests in two bedrooms, with room for an extra guest. The cottage faces south onto a broad terrace shaded by a large lime tree, with an outdoor dining table for four.

Inside, the house is decorated in the traditional Provençal style and furnished with antiques. The terracotta floors and shutters, along with the shade of the lime tree, help to keep the house cool in the summer.

The staircase

The main living area is bright and spacious, with windows on three sides. The comfortable sofa sits in front of the original working fireplace.

The kitchen is fully equipped with modern appliances. Up to six can sit at the large wooden dining table. Three steps lead down to a small separate day room where an additional guest can sleep on a day bed.

The master bedroom

A curving stone staircase leads up to the two bedrooms. The master bedroom has a large double bed; it faces south onto vineyards and hills.

The second bedroom has a pair of single beds, which can be put together to form a double bed. It also enjoys great light and views from its south-facing window. The two bedrooms share a modern bathroom with a tub and a separate walk-in shower; the toilet is separate.

Accommodates:	4 guests
Bedrooms:	Two bedrooms: one with a double bed, and one with two single beds which can be put together to make a double. An additional guest can sleep on a day bed downstairs.

About the Area

The village of Sablet

The village of Sablet is a ten minute walk from Coule Fontaine, and has everything needed for day-to-day living: bakers, butchers, a deli, a general store, newsagent, pharmacy, and medical centre. Among the places to dine are a traditional café and three restaurants, all with exterior terraces, ranging from simply family establishments to the upmarket Les Abeilles.

By taking a different path from the house, one can take a 15-minute walk to Séguret, which is officially one of the prettiest villages in France, and has a café and two restaurants. Its small winding streets are a pleasure to explore. The nearby Dentelles hills have marked trails for hiking and mountain biking.

About the Region

The nearby village of Séguret, officially designated one of the prettiest in France

The house is located in the Vaucluse, a Côtes-du-Rhône wine producing region, rich in history and with plenty of sunshine. Mont Ventoux, the famous landmark of the tour de France, is nearby and offers splendid views over the region and beyond.

The papal city of Avignon is a short drive away, and the Roman towns of Nîmes, Arles and Aix, all well known for their festivals and museums, are within comfortable driving distance.

The vineyards of the Côtes du Rhône region

Within a twenty kilometre radius are the Roman towns of Vaison-la-Romaine (which has the best Provençal market in the region on Tuesday mornings), Carpentras, and Orange, all of which have historic sites, Roman ruins and ancient theatres where events are staged throughout the summer months. The lovely town of l'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue is a haven of antique dealers and brocante shops. Further afield are the cities of Marseille and Monpellier, the beaches of the Mediterranean sea, the national parks of the Camargue and the Vercours, and the canyons of the Ardeche and Verdon rivers.
