Gazelou is a 4-bedroomed villa, sleeping 8 (+ baby), on the outskirts of the small town of Pernes-les-Fontaines (Vaucluse), 6km S of Carpentras, 20km NE of Avignon (Michelin map: 527). VFB is delighted to have featured this property since 1997. Saturday arrival.
A spacious, detached villa with swimming pool, built in regional style and set in its own grounds of 2500m² in a residential area within walking distance of the town of Pernes-les-Fontaines in the Vaucluse. Inside, smart contemporary furnishings, fitted kitchen and light décor create welcoming and appealing living areas combined with a more simply appointed first floor to create accommodation of a good standard overall. French windows lead out of all south-facing rooms on to the partly covered sunny terrace (approximately 10m x 4m), beyond which the private pool (10m x 4m, depth 1m20 at edges - 1m80 in the middle) is set in well-maintained and partially enclosed grounds of rough grass, pines, oleander and lavender, with a ‘wilder’ area to the rear, which ensures a good degree of privacy from the nearest neighbours some 60m away. The setting is peaceful and secluded yet village shops are just a walk downhill. Either the friendly, retired owner or his partner, who is an English teacher, will welcome guests here and a young man will come to look after the pool. Spruce, tranquil and private accommodation, with superb sightseeing possibilities: appealing Pernes with its fountains, splendid Avignon and the Vaucluse plateau and Lubéron mountains, where woods and charming hill villages invite exploration.
Accommodation: Ground floor: kitchen, living/dining room, 2 double-bedded rooms with en-suite bathroom, separate wc. First floor: 1 double and 1 twin-bedded room with en-suite shower room, separate wc.
