La Guingette, Orgon, Provence
Renovated Villa, 2 Bedrooms,
Private Swimming Pool
Wi-Fi Internet Access
La Guingette has a bit of history.
The original part of the building dates back to the 18th Century and
although it's now just a short walk to the local village, it used to be
surrounded by agricultural land. The farm workers would stop off at the
tiny, two storey 'watering hole' for a well deserved drink.
The current owners have recently completely renovated and extended the
building to create a unique 2 bedroom private villa. Some of the quirky
original features such as the exposed stone walls remain, but all modern
comforts have been added. There's a wonderful, shaded courtyard, as well
as a large private garden with a swimming pool.
Inside the villa there's a downstairs double bedroom with en-suite
bathroom and an upstairs twin room; both bedrooms have air conditioning.
There's also a separate ground floor shower room and toilet. The kitchen
and living room are spacious and open plan with French doors leading out
into the courtyard.
The village is on the edge of the spectacular Alpilles mountain chain
and on the doorstep of the beautiful Luberon National Park. Both areas
are popular with sports and countryside lovers.
The villa is just a couple of minutes walk from the small, Provencal
village of Orgon where you'll find small shops, 4 boulangeries (!) and a
very good restaurant. It is ideally located for visits to all the
beautiful sites of Provence; Avignon, with it's Festival de Théâtre in
July and numerous museums, St Rémy de Provence and les Baux famous for
its superb rock formations. L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue is less than fifteen
minutes drive away, famous for the antiques village and Sunday market.
La Route des Vins, "the wine road" (Gigondas and "les Dentelles de
Montmirail", Séguret,Vacqueyras, Châteauneuf du Pape) is also easily
accessible and if its nature you're after, La Camargue National Park is
only an hour drive from here.
The Villa:
The central kitchen and living room have been created from the
original, 18th Century part of the building and benefit from thick stone
walls which keep it lovely and cool in the height of the summer. There
is Sky TV, a DVD player and CD player. The living room is open plan,
leading to the kitchen, and it incorporates a dining table and chairs as
well. There is WiFi internet access available should you need it.
The kitchen is well equipped with pretty much everything you’ll need;
fridge, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine, electric oven, gas hob
and all the cooking utensils and crockery. There are two bedrooms, one
double and one twin. The ground floor double bedroom has an en-suite
bathroom and the cute first floor bedroom has twin beds. There is also
air conditioning in the upstairs room as well.
There is one bathroom, en-suite with the double room, and one shower
room.
Outside, you will find a beautiful walled and shaded courtyard area with
sun loungers just outside the French windows that lead from the lounge.
Outside of this sanctuary is a larger garden which has a safely enclosed
swimming pool, which measures 7 x 3 metres
