In a farmhouse with pool on the upland of a Provencal village

Close to birdwatching, cycling, and more, this family-friendly apartment brings it all within reach. Jump into your car and make short work of the 16-minute drive to Luberon Regional Park or the 9-minute drive to Golf de Pont-Royal (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime).

After you return to this 377-sq-ft apartment, you can unwind by the communal pool or sip a drink in the garden; you may also like the deck or patio and outdoor furniture. For a change of scenery, come inside and try your hand at foosball and table tennis, or enjoy the WiFi, cable/satellite TV, and DVD player.

This 1-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom rental features a living room, a dining area, a BBQ grill, and air conditioning. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer, towels, and toilet paper. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, an electric kettle, and a microwave. And you won't have to pack extra clothes, because you'll also have access to laundry facilities.
