How wonderful to be able to stroll to the local Farmer’s market every evening and pick up a wealth of delicious seasonal produce during your stay at Villa La Sorgue, a delightful village house with a private pool in traditional Provençal village of Velleron.

Market lovers also note you are only 6km from L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, famed for its antique stores and Sunday morning brocante, one of the most famous flea markets in Provence. That said, you may prefer to spend your time canoeing along the Sorgue River, hiking through the landscapes of Fontaine-de-Vaucluse or cycling to your hearts content in the foothills of Mont Ventoux.

Indeed, Villa La Sorgue enjoys a superb setting for guests wishing to soak up the authentic ambience of village life in Provence whilst also being so well located for so many highlights of the region. It’s such an attractive little home for 2-4 guests with a small, pretty lounge and dining area, a characterful wood stove, an open kitchen on the side alongside a double bedroom and modern shower room. A separate garden studio is home to the second en suite double bedroom and also features a private terrace.

Villa La Sorgue’s Provençal garden is gorgeous with a shady mulberry tree for al-fresco feasts, deck chairs by the small pool for warm summer afternoons alongside a stone bridge crossing the flowing natural stream – it really is so charming.

The heart of medieval Velleron is a short stroll away with a small handful of restaurants, a bakery and a small supermarket just on the edge of the village. The Sorgue River flows past the foot of the village, close to the market place which hosts a fantastic Farmer’s market six evenings a week (April to September, three times a week during other months). Only farmers from the Velleron area can sell their produce – the market has gained a fine reputation over time and attracts thousands of visitors each year. Wander back to your holiday home with strawberries, cherries, olives, melons and other seasonal delights of Provence.
