The property measures 450 sq m (4850 sq ft) and has 6 spacious and well appointed bedrooms, all with their own bathrooms and air-conditioning. The summer kitchen opens out on to an outdoor terrace overlooking the pool with sea views. The living room, dining room, guest toilet and laundry/utility room are located on the ground floor along with a fully fitted spacious Mark Wilkinson (winter) kitchen with oak spiral staircase leading up to the TV room (also can be used as a playroom). The living room and dining rooms open out on to a typically Provencal courtyard providing plenty of space for outdoor entertaining and including a petanque court.
