THE HOUSE
Villa le Rocher is a bright and charming Provencal home with spectacular views in all directions. The house is well equipped with all modern amenities. It has the advantage of under-floor cooling and heating, along with a cosy fireplace, so that the house provides a comfortable retreat in summer and winter.

The views look west over the Luberon valley enjoying magnificent sunsets; the southerly aspect faces the Luberon mountains, then the panorama continues around to include Mont Ventoux and the Montagne de Lure. The view behind the house looks up to Saignon's famous belvedere, Le Rocher, standing majestically above the garden and pool.
