The location of Les Ramiers is ideal for those who seek a rural setting yet wish to be within walking distance of a village. This bright and spacious property nestles on the edge of picturesque Le Barroux in the foothills of Mont Ventoux. A walk in one direction takes you deep into the heart of the pretty countryside whilst a short amble (700m) in the other brings you to the delightful village where narrow cobbled streets are lined with beautiful stone houses. Here you will find three restaurants, a shop and, dominating the skyline, an impressive 12th century château.
Sitting on the side of a tree clad slope, Les Ramiers is a substantial ochre coloured house. A covered terrace, topped with terracotta tiles, fronts the house, from which patio doors allow access into the ample living/dining room.
Colourful pieces of artwork, originals by the artist owner, as well as interesting antiques help to enhance the unique and authentic style of the house.
Two bedrooms and a bathroom complete the ground floor, whilst two further bedrooms, each with their own en suite facilities are found upstairs.
Accessed via a gate, the pool area is a pretty spot with a decking surround punctuated, at one end, by a shady pergola, whilst the rest of the garden has been left 'au naturel' to reflect the local style.
At the southern end of the Dentelles de Montmirail, Le Barroux is an excellent starting point from which to explore the area. A tour around these craggy limestone peaks takes in a number of villages known for their wines (Beaumes de Venise, Gigondas, Rasteau) as well as the fascinating Roman town of Vaison la Romaine.
Alternatively, the slopes of Mont Ventoux, a protected UNESCO biosphere reserve, offer a choice of walking trails and picnic spots amongst the flora and fauna.
