Lou Cascai, Roussillon, Provence
An ideal Provence base 500 yards from the splendid village of Roussillon
 The studio seen from its own garden |  10m x 5m pool with comfortable seating |
Lou Cascai is perfect for a couple who want peace and quiet in a Luberon country setting, but just 5 minutes walk from the stunning village of Roussillon with its restaurants, cafes, bakeries and village life. It is attached to the owner's house with its own entrance and garden, and has use of the pool.

 Stairs to mezzanine level. |  Kitchen open-plan with the living room. |  Dining table. |
Bedroom
Upstairs on the mezzanine is a double bed or two singles and dressing area. If you can't take stairs, there is also the option of sleeping downstairs on the sofa-bed which has a proper mattress and is as comfortable as a bed.
 Bedroom on the mezzanine. |  Bathroom with large tub. |
The bathroom has a large corner bath and hand-held shower, WC and basin.
Garden & Pool
From the living room area, big sliding windows open onto the terrace and garden. The terrace has a wooden table and chairs - in Provence you can eat outside for a good 7 months of the year - and is shaded overhead with trellis and cane.
 The patio and garden to the front of the studio. |  Private garden on 3 levels with sun-loungers. |
There is a small area of lawned garden on two levels with cypress, olive trees, lavender and planted beds, as well as a shaded pergola - an ideal place to plant a sunlounger.
 A lovely place to eat and relax. |  The pool area with loungers and parasols. |
The studio is an annexe at one end of the owner's house. So if you ever need help with anything, or need local recommendations or encounter language difficulties, she is on hand to help. Otherwise there is no connection between the two properties. The garden and parking area outside the studio are privately yours.
Use of the pool is shared with the owner, but she does not do more than take the occasional dip. The pool is 10m x 5m (33 x 16ft), has a wide deck area around it (no burnt feet!), pool furniture and a wooden swing-bench.
The pool is open from June 1 to mid-September.
The Location
The studio is 5 minutes walk from the centre of Roussillon, officially one of the Most Beautiful Villages in France, and part of the 'Golden Triangle' of the Luberon. This is a location of outstanding natural beauty, encompassing the Luberon natural park, and several perched, hill-top villages amid the valley of vineyards and orchards. Gordes, Lacoste, Oppede le vieux, Bonnieux, and Goult are a few minutes away by car, while the towns of Avignon, St Remy, Arles, Nimes, Orange and Aix are 90 minutes or less. Roussillon itself offers many restaurants, cafes and shops, and the fascinating old ochre quarry. This is the village that Laurence Wylie wrote about in A Village in the Vaucluse, and Peter Mayle later wrote A Year in Provence a few miles away in Menerbes. |
