Nestled in the heart of the Luberon, this large and luxurious villa was built 20 years ago by a local architect in a modern style while using the local white stones. Overlooking the vineyards, Mont Ventoux and the villages of Roussillon and Joucas, Villa Manon is truly in the center of the Luberon. With its wide open spaces on the main floor, opening to several covered terraces and the heated horizon pool, the house is ideal for large groups of families or friends. The 3 large bedrooms in the main house are all equipped with en-suite bathrooms, King-sized (180 cm) beds,and air conditioning. They open to the upper and lower terraces, enjoying gorgeous views of the countryside. One of those bedrooms is located on the main floor, ideally suited to our guests with impaired mobility. The 2 bedrooms in the second house have been updated and upgraded to the standards of the main house. Also equipped with air conditioning and brightly colored en-suite bathrooms with Italian showers, they are furnished with a Queen bed (160 cm) in one and 2 twin beds in the other. A Nespresso machine, water boiler and bar fridge complete the equipment of these two bedrooms, allowing for those late night snacks, early morning coffee, or the urge for a cold drink in the middle of the night. The main house offers a large formal living room and a dining room for 10, all air conditioned, as well as a smaller TV room with various media plug-ins. The upper galleria , looking out to the valley, is dedicated to office work, with desk, printer and full internet access, as anywhere else throughout the house.
