Large Provencal Holiday Villa with fabulous heated, infinity pool.

The 'piece de resistance' is the huge kidney-shaped infinity swimming pool, 12m x 6m wide at its longest points, with a 'Californian beach' - a shallow beach where young children can play safely in the water. The pool can be heated from May to September (supplementary cost in April and October only)

The pool is surrounded by a lovely and unusual stone amphitheatre, with an attractive fountain and an outside bar. These features really come into their own when the pool and the surrounding area are lit up at night. Pool has an alarm but is not fenced in.

There is a pool house, an outside 'bar' and an outside shower next to the pool. The large garden has 2 different areas for sitting and relaxing, for either dining alfresco in the shade, or for sun lovers to benefit from the loungers in the sun.

The back of the garden is walled, and so is the front courtyard which is partially walled - only the driveway and the parking area are not enclosed. There is a BBQ, plenty of sun loungers, garden furniture and a good area for private parking.
