About this apartment rental
Welcome to Studio Du Lac!
Tucked away just a few steps from Lake Esparron, our charming studio is the ideal retreat after a day of swimming, kayaking, or simply soaking in the beauty of one of the most beautiful lakes in southern France, in the heart of the magnificent village of Esparron-de-Verdon. Whether you’re here to relax or set out on an adventure, we’ve designed the space to ensure your stay is hassle-free and comfortable.
The Space
Combining comfort and vintage charm, *Studio Du Lac* is an intimate 30-square-meter lakeside studio, ideal for couples and small families.
🛏️ Sleeping Arrangements - The studio features a **fold-out bed** that converts into a comfortable daybed, and a **bunk bed**, perfect for a couple with young children. A **travel crib** is also available for babies.
🍽️ Fully Equipped Kitchen - Whether it’s your morning espresso or home-cooked meals, the kitchen is equipped with cookware, appliances, and all the essentials you’ll need. Tea, coffee, and necessary spices.
We’ve stocked the pantry with some staples like canned goods, rice, pasta, flour, and dried fruit. Feel free to help yourself and, if you’d like, replace these items with others you’d enjoy for future guests.
🛋️ Living & Dining Area—A welcoming space with soft lighting and a dining area, perfect for relaxed mornings and intimate meals.
