In the village of Roussillon
​
The villa benefits immensely from its unique location. It is far enough from the centre of the small village for you to enjoy the serenity of the property and the breathtaking views. However, it is also an integral part of Roussillon, thanks to its position on the edge of the village, overlooking the valley.
The bakery, pharmacy, post office, restaurants, art galleries and lovely boutique shops are within easy walking distance (300 metres from the villa).
The world famous "Sentier des ocres" is also only a few minutes’ walk away. You can also stroll or hike through lavender fields and vineyards surrounding the villa - so you never have to use your car!
In the vicinity of Roussillon
​
Close to Roussillon there are several picturesque villages and each has its own unique charm: Gordes, Lacoste, Ménerbes, Bonnieux, Saignon or Oppède-le-Vieux. You can reach all of these villages in a few minutes by car. Not to be missed either is the very famous Sénanque Monastery. It is next to a beautiful lavender field and is therefore a very popular image for postcards and calendars.
If you enjoy nature and love to go hiking you will find plenty of opportunities on your doorstep. In the Monts de Vaucluse as well as in the Petit and Grand Lubéron there are many hiking trails. You could also stroll through the lavender fields or vineyards which are spread across the valley. And finally Mont Ventoux is close by and always warrants an excursion.
Roussillon is only a 45-minute drive away from Avignon and less than one hour from Aix-en-Provence.
