This village dwelling, exuding the restrained elegance of a Provencal edifice, features, on its street side, a symmetrical and welcoming ochre-colour façade, which contrasts nicely with its sage-green louvred shutters, the latter of which are topped with four oculi surrounded by pale-colour décor that recalls the stone used around the ground floor’s arched windows as well as its central door.
As for its courtyard-facing side, its white exterior, primarily festooned in Virginia creeper, is cadenced by tall arched windows with pale blue shutters, which diffuse soft, natural light all day long for its interiors, whereas its cobblestone interior courtyard, completely enclosed and sheltered from the elements, combines ancient stone with burnished walls and climbing vegetation.

The Dwelling

The ground floor
The front door gives on to an entryway with large Ménerbes stone floor tiles and a vaulted ceiling, while a hallway leads to wrought-iron glass double doors. On one side, a sunny study with visible ceiling beams faces a utility room as well as direct access to the garage, whereas, extending on from the entryway, the living areas are arranged around a dining room with original terracotta floor tiles, pointed stone walls, as well as the stone surround of a window dating from 1530, older than the current building’s era of construction.
Directly opposite, the open kitchen, with an immense worktop and storage cupboards, features terracotta floor tiles that provide a pleasant continuity between the two rooms, while its solid brass faucets are highlighted thanks to a tiled backsplash in bright Provencal colours.
The first floor
With a floor-to-ceiling height of 3.2 metres, visible cherry wood ceiling beams and terracotta floor tiles, a sitting room is organised around a pale stone fireplace with an immense and understated mantel, while tall windows on the dwelling’s southeast façade look out on to an open village square and provide plenty of natural light. Further on, a landing, with terracotta floor tiles, provides access to two bedrooms, each with their own private shower room, whereas iron, stone floors, wooden doorframes and solid brass can be found throughout, especially in the walk-in showers with their delicate finishing touches.
The second floor
A landing, with terracotta floor tiles and three self-closing skylights, provides access to four bedrooms. A four-century-old wooden door opens on to the attic section, while the bedrooms, bathed in light by wide staggered skylights, each come with their own private shower room and lavatory with walk-in showers.
