Holiday rental property in Provence with pool in several hectares

Introduction

The property dates back to the 18th century when it was a very active water mill. ('Paradou' is an old Provencal word for a mill). Now fully renovated in traditional Provençal style, the house offers 4 bedrooms to sleep 8, all with full ensuite bathrooms.

Set back from the (sometimes busy) road into the village of Mormoiron, Le Paradou is set in several hectares, surrounded by vines, olive groves and oak trees. Large, private pool of 12 x 6m with shaded, poolside dining area.

Small, original waterway runs alongside the property; (unsuitable for children under 12)

All amenities in the village, 1km. Housekeepers live within the grounds and are always available if required.

For wine lovers, there is a superb opportunity to associate themselves during their stay with the stunningly beautiful Chateau Pésquié in Mormoiron village. The owners of Le Paradou also own and run the Chateau and its wine production; the wonderfully hospitable and charming Madame Chadière will be delighted to show you around the property and explain how everything works. And then of course you can taste the wine...
