Nestled in the Provençal countryside, Maison Cocotier is the ideal base to discover the best that the region has to offer.
This gloriously bright house features ample amounts of natural light and the large terrace doors fill the living area with sunshine. With comfortable sofas and a home cinema, there’s room for everyone to spend a cosy evening in together playing cards or watching a film. There are three delightful bedrooms decorated with comfortable furnishings and the same bright and airy feel. The modern kitchen is spacious, well-equipped and perfect for those keen to prepare fresh home-cooked food. The shaded terrace dining area is an idyllic spot to enjoy an evening meal.
Step outdoors and you are met with a 7000m² oasis of grassy lawns, shady trees and vivid flowerbeds. Whether you fancy soaking up the sun on a deckchair, cooling off in the pool or reading a book under the cover of a leafy tree, these lush grounds offer the ultimate relaxation. Younger guests will also delight in the ‘plage’-style shallow end of the pool, outdoor play area and ping pong table. Towards the back of the gardens there is even a paddock which is occasionally home to the owner’s two horses.
The much-loved city of Avignon (13km) is just a short drive from this charming villa and offers scenic squares, high-quality cuisine and a lively atmosphere. There are plenty of shops and markets to discover and a wander around Avignon’s winding, café-adorned streets will lead you to the city’s two UNESCO World Heritage Sites: the Pope’s Palace and the Saint Benezet Bridge. Nîmes (46km) rivals Avignon’s history with its own World Heritage Site, the Pont du Gard, and the city’s collection of Roman remains is also worth a visit.
This region is filled with delightful villages and visitors are truly spoilt for choice when it comes to discovering the immediate area. Popular St-Remy-de-Provence (13km) and picturesque Les Baux-de-Provence (20km) are within easy reach while Van Gogh’s beloved Arles (28km) is just slightly further away. Take a scenic walk through the olive groves, cypress hedges and orchards in the nearby Alpilles Natural Regional Park or stroll along one of the many vineyards that dominate the landscape. Horseriding and kayaking are also great ways to discover the stunning Provençal countryside.
