The upstairs of the guest half of the house has two bedrooms - one with a double bed and one with two singles . There is also a shower room with wash basin and toilet. These rooms are approached up a fairly tight spiral staircase, probably unsuitable for very small children and the very infirm. Very large suitcases have also proved tricky to get upstairs!

Downstairs , this part of the house has its own entrance and a kitchen/entrance hall with a cooker, fridge, etc. There is a small salon which we use as a study (that has a small sofa bed for emergency use). A large "summer room" has two double sofa beds , with a shower room complete with toilet and wash basin off. The summer room has a television that accepts English videos and DVD's (so you can bring your favourites) and a record/cassette/CD player.

We have plenty of French-English electric plug converters , so you do not need to bring any of these.

The guest half of the house is available for friends and relations, though we have to ration availability because of the number of people who visit. We look forward to spending time with guests, but we want you to enjoy your visit and have a proper holiday in this beautiful area, as we have a life of our own in France. We expect visitors to clean up after themselves and use the washing machine in the house for bed linen, towels, etc, all of which, except beach towels, we will supply together with the usual cleaning equipment.

The main part of the house has two double bedrooms, a salon, dining room, two bathrooms, office, kitchen and conservatory.

Outside , on the south side, there are several terraces with chairs and tables and a barbecue. The swimmimg pool is now completed, and so, finally, is the terracing around the pool. Builders here are no different to the UK, and this took a year almost to the day from the building of the pool itself! However, now you do not need "flip-flops" or the like to allow you to get to the pool.

The grounds consist of 2 hectares of mainly wooded "garrigue". There are quite steep climbs down from the house to the land on the north and south - the southern part has several wells which could be dangerous for very small children! - but the terraces are generally flat with only a few steps.

For those not content with just swimming or walking, we have a few diversions for visitors, including table tennis, air rifle shooting and an electric clay pigeon trap. A badminton "court" (not fullsize, and just for a bit of fun) is set up as well.
