La Maison Saint Christophe is a country dwelling that is ideal for a group of friends to switch off and unwind completely. Although the owners will accept families with children the property is not suitable for infants. The unique location gives you a huge amount of privacy - a precious commodity in a region so popular with tourists.
Whether you choose to languidly swim in the 10 x 4m swimming pool surrounded by pine trees and lush woodland or linger after breakfast on the wisteria shaded terrace and soak in the spectacular views, the days are bound to unfold at a relaxed and unhurried pace in these picturesque surroundings.
The interior of this property respects the need to remain true to its French country house roots and is quaintly furnished with traditional oak furniture and choice works of art from the owners extensive collection.
The owners live in a stone cottage on-site, and with grounds of this magnitude their presence is very discreet and unobtrusive. However should you need their help they are always on hand, and if you want to experience the real Provence their wealth of local knowledge is invaluable.
