About the home

Le Four a Chaux is a large but intimate Provençal country house or mas, built from old stones, carefully restored in keeping with the period, and fully equipped with modern amenities including WI-Fi. It has great character, with ancient stairways, original tiled floors, traditional beamed ceilings and tasteful decoration.

The house is set in its own vineyard and surrounded by many more. Built on a large estate, the property offers open and covered terraces on both sides with garden furniture.

On the ground floor of the house, the main entrance hall leads into a large living room with plenty of comfortable seating, a raised dining area with an art deco dining table suitable for eight, and a large open traditional fireplace. There is a small separate television room leading from this with satellite TV and DVD player.

A corridor leads to the spacious and fully equipped kitchen with a modern stove top, marble working surfaces, fine wooden table for informal dining, and a raised open fire. Adjacent to the kitchen is a separate large utility room with washing machine, dryer, extra fridge and freezer. There is also a large sink and stainless steel working unit.

Facilities

Further details indoors:
Three sets of stairs lead upstairs, where there are three bedrooms, each with an en suite bathroom or shower room. The separate staircases mean that the bedrooms provide complete privacy, and the house is ideal for two or three couples or a family with older children.

The comfortable furnishings and the open fireplaces complemented by a full central heating system makes Le Four à Chaux suitable for all seasons.
