If living in the heart of a bustling Provençal village is your dream, then this is the house for you. Located in the village of Caromb, this property is comprised of two side-by-side houses with origins in the 17th century. Together they accommodate 10 people and boast 5 bedrooms, each with its own bathroom.

The houses have undergone a complete renovation both inside and out. The grounds of each, which interconnect through a door in the garden wall, include an enclosed swimming pool, a rare find in a village property. Beside each pool is a graveled courtyard with oleander, lavender, rosemary, young cypress and olive trees and other flowering shrubs. From the courtyard and pool, there are views over the countryside and up to the Mont Ventoux.

Adjacent to each house is an arbored stone terrace with dining table. The terraces face north, which makes them the ideal location for leisurely outdoor meals. And you’re just steps from the plane-tree shaded main square and cafés, restaurants, bakeries, markets and all services you’ll need to settle into Provençal village life.

Inside, both houses have been entirely restored and decorated with great Provençal character and flair. They feature terra cotta tile floors, beautiful ceramic tilework, top quality appliances and fixtures, and a combination of stylish modern furniture and antique pieces.

The smaller house accommodates 4 people. The entry hall opens to a spacious living-dining room. It is light and bright thanks to striking leaded glass doors opening to the terrace and pool. At one end two beige upholstered loveseats are grouped around an ottoman-coffee table. Behind is the dining area with French country table and chairs and antique chest. A cane bench and chairs complete this appealing room. Adjacent to the dining area is the galley kitchen. Well designed and fully equipped, it has terra cotta tile counters, gray wood cabinets and a door opening to the covered dining terrace. Also on this level are separate toilet facilities.

Stairs from the entry lead to two bedrooms, each with twin beds and ensuite bath. The bedrooms feature lovely quilts, antique tables, lamps and chests. The bathrooms boast beautiful ceramic tilework with colorful painted tile accents over the sinks. One of the bathrooms includes toilet facilities. The other has a shower and sink ensuite, with separate toilet facilities on the hall.

Next door, the house accommodates 6 people. The entry hall opens to a lovely living room with two beige upholstered loveseats grouped around an ottoman-coffee table, a cane bench and chairs and French doors opening to the terrace and pool. To the left is the dining area with French country table and chairs and antique chest.. Adjacent to the dining area is the galley kitchen with identical design and equipment as its next-door neighbor.

Stairs from the entry lead to three bedrooms, each with twin beds and full ensuite bath. On the second floor are two bedrooms with tiled showers. A spacious master suite occupies the entire third floor with windows on the garden and views of Mont Ventoux. The bathroom includes a tiled tub with shower and double sinks. The bedrooms are decorated in the same style as next door with lovely quilts, antique tables, lamps and chests. The bathrooms also feature beautiful ceramic tilework with colorful painted tile accents over the sinks.

An exceptional village home in a scenic setting in the Vaucluse.
