Location

This spacious villa built in typical provençal style enjoys a wonderful location, combining the peace and quiet of its extensive grounds and the proximity of Aix-en-Provence (20km) and Marseille (39km). The village of Fuveau offers all shops and services including a supermarket, as well as tennis courts, horse riding and an 18 hole golf course. Aix-en-Provence, an attractive and lively town of ‘a thousand fountains’  has a daily food market, a general market on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays (clothes, flowers, antiques), an antique book market on the first Sunday of each month, and many cultural festivals throughout the year. The location is ideal for touring this rich area with the many picturesque villages of the Luberon to explore to the north (Gordes, Roussillon, Lourmarin, Bonnieux, Fontaine-de-Vaucluse).
