Simiane la Rotonde, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence,France
Set on a hillside, overlooking the mountains of the Lure, this charming cottage forms part of a 17th century farmhouse and is set in a secluded position just outside the Lubéron National Park. Sharing the pool with the discreet owner, who lives in the adjoining wing but does not overlook the property, it also has its own drive, covered parking and sheltered terrace. It is prettily decorated with beams and thick exposed stone walls. Mountain biking, caving and riding are available locally, and nearby attractions include the 'Provençal Colorado' of Rustrel and the Lubéron villages of Roussillon, Gordes and Bonnieux.
