The kitchen is between the two living rooms.

Bedrooms
The 4 bedrooms are upstairs, and there are two bathrooms, as well as a small shower room with WC downstairs. Due to the curiosities of construction of an old house, there are two sets of stairs going up to the bedrooms, and bedroom 3 is accessed either through the master bedroom or bedroom 2 (see below).
 |  |
The master bedroom is very spacious and has an additional bed for a child.
The large master bedroom has two single beds together and a third bed suitable for a young child, as well as a writing desk. Its en suite bathroom has walk-in shower, basin and WC.

Garden & Pool
Outside the house is blessed with wide open views to the south and the beautiful medieval village of Joucas just behind.
 |  |
The pool has a great setting at the end of the lawn, edged by a bed of aromatic herbs of Provence - below is a field of lavender and beyond that is just beautiful scenery as far as the Luberon mountain.
 |  |
At the front of the house is the courtyard, with the stunning views of Provence.
The courtyard has tables and chairs for eating and relaxing, and is shaded by a fig tree, a mulberry and an olive tree. Another lovely spot to sit is the shaded table of the poolhouse (below). There is also a gas BBQ.

Joucas could not be any closer, above right are the gates to the house.
Behind the house is the perched hilltop village of Joucas, just a quick stroll through the vines away.
The Location
 |  |  |
Scenes from the village of Joucas.
The house is at the foot of Joucas, one of the lovely hill-top villages of the Luberon. Joucas has a food store, cafe, tennis courts and a playground. And surprisingly for a small, quiet village, there are three good restaurants in walking distance. All the other picture-perfect 'perched' hill-top villages of the Luberon are within 15 minutes by car: Gordes, Roussillon, Menerbes, Bonnieux, Lacoste, Goult, and Oppede le vieux. Just beyond are the antiques capital of Isle sur la Sorgue and the very lovely Fontaine de Vaucluse. Within an hour are Avignon, Aix-en-Provence, St Remy, Mont Ventoux, Les Baux de Provence, Orange, and the start of the Rhone wine trail. There is a market every day in one of the surrounding villages. You can make a comfortable day-trip of the Cote d'Azur from Monte Carlo to St Tropez, Marseille, the fishing village of Cassis and the calanques, Arles, Nimes, the Camargue, the Alps, the Gorges du Verdon, and the Rhone wine trail all the way to Lyon.
