Traditional stone farmhouse in Northern Provence, serene setting

Old charming stone house in Provence, Drome Provencale, the country of lavender and sunflowers. The house is surrounded by fields of sunflowers, wheat, and vineyards. About 1 km away from the charming little village of St Gervais sur Roubion. This old farm is built of 4 buildings wrapped around a courtyard, and surrounded by a luscious garden with magnificent fruit trees and flowers. The courtyard provides shade and protection from the occasional wind. In the South, a terrace and pergola offer a beautiful setting for lunch and dinners al fresco overlooking the fields.
The house has 3 bedrooms on 2 floors, and can comfortably sleep 6 to 8 people.
The downstairs bedroom has a double bed. One of the upstairs bedroom has a double bed and a single bed, and the second upstairs bedroom has a double bed and 2 single beds.
The house has a large bathroom with a bathtub and sink, as well as a washing machine. There is, on the same floor, a separate shower, and a half bathroom.
The kitchen is well equipped including oven and stove, microwave, dishwasher, and a large farm table for 8. It opens onto the living room which is very comfortable, and has a large stone fireplace around which to sit.
The house is equipped for children, with games, swings, bicycles, and a lot to explore. It is a peaceful and romantic spot decorated with exquisite taste in the luscious Provencal tradition.
One of the buildings has been arranged as a separate house where one of the owner, Virginie Souquet, lives yearlong with her 3 dogs. We refer to this building as "the little house". It opens onto a separate area of the garden, respecting the total privacy and quiet of the main house. The dogs are peaceful and calm and live in an enclosed area in front of the little house which gives them no access to the rest of the property. The resident of the "little house" travels often and is not always there, but when present, she is a great resource of information on things to do and see in the region, and is happy to answer any question.

The house is owned by the Souquet family whose members live or have lived in France, the USA, Latin America and Africa. Every year, we all gather in the house to share family moments, recharge batteries and share some of the treasures the region has to offer.
We have chosen not to install the internet in the house but you can easily turn your cell phone into a hot spot or go to the local café who offers free internet access.

The charm of old stones and the peacefulness of the area made us fall in love with the house. The region is beautiful, easily accessible and conveniently situated to provide access to the countryside, the mountains and the sea within a couple of hours.
