Description

Maison des Pelerins is a completely renovated, delightful melange of modern amenities, convenience and traditional Provencal character.
Light, airy and comfortable, the decor uses beautiful local materials together with the craftmanship of local artisans, creating the warmth and ambience of a traditionally Provencal home.
Wood-shuttered windows in the living room, dining room and kitchen look out over the rooftops of Sablet, across the vineyards, to the Dentelles de Montmirail and the neighboring villages of the Cote du Rhone wine producing region.

Spectacular views from every window, a charming, private courtyard, comfortable spacious rooms, central heating, a cozy wood burning stove, and air-conditioned bedrooms make Maison des Pelerins very inviting all year round.

The living room is spacious - ideal for relaxing - either with your favorite music, watching TV or a movie (Satellite TV with English/American channels, as well as DVD player). A restful separate corner provides the ideal spot for reading, a quiet siesta on a warm afternoon or catching up on correspondence. The wood stove in the living room adds warmth and coziness on cool days.

Conveniently located on the ground level of the house is a Powder room with toilet and handbasin.

Four or five steps up from the living rooms - the formal dining room is set up to enjoy those evenings when you wish to have a special meal and a bottle of the local wine made right here in Sablet or one of its neighbors. It will comfortably seat up to six guests, with china, glassware, serving pieces and table linen.

The fully equipped kitchen is not only a delight to be in, but also allows you to use those culinary skills - which when combined with the incredible fresh ingredients available here - creates magic! Traditional cabinetry and tilework create a kitchen that is as good to look at as it is to work in. Quality appliances include and five burner cook top, wall oven (convection/conventional), microwave, dishwasher and refrigerator/freezer as well a full array of cookware. A comfortable seating area for breakfast or more casual dining.

Step out of French doors from the kitchen to the courtyard garden furnished with a table and chairs, comfortable chairs for lounging and a Weber gas barbecue. Surrounded by flowering plants, herbs and vines, breakfast, lunch and dinner in the courtyard are truly special. In the shadow of the old church, a soft glow from the lights of the steeple at night, the trickle of the fountain on a warm summer evening or cool crisp Provencal morning.

Upstairs, in the oldest part of the house - tucked away under beamed ceilings you'll find two full bedrooms. One with an ensuite shower and hand basin and the other with a full bathroom adjacent - including both bath and shower as well as toilet and had basin

BEDROOMS ARE AIR-CONDITIONED - IDEAL FOR THOSE WARM SUMMER NIGHTS!

All bathrooms have been remodled and are tiled with either local marble (ensuite) or travertine stone (powder room and full bath).
The bedrooms are furnished and decorated for comfort, rest and relaxation. Both are furnished with king sized beds and have windows that look out over the tiled rooftops of Sablet, the nearby vineyards and the neighboring village of Seguret perched on a hillside.

Please Note: One of the King sized beds can be set up as 2 Twin Beds if required.

Locations

The heart of the Cote du Rhone wine producing region, this relaxed, charming, fortified village is rich in history, gastronomy, leisure and cultural activities. It is, as yet, a largely undiscovered treasure, which lies at the foot of the Dentelles de Montmirail but allows one access to every part of Provence within easy day-tripping distance.

The oldest part of the village "inside the walls" (the remparts), is made up of narrow streets or 'ruelles", built in a circular fashion around the beehive shaped hill, which afforded inhabitants protection against numerous invaders over many centuries. The picturesque "village houses" are huddled together and provide a glimpse into the lives of Sablet's inhabitants - over hundreds of years - as they went about their daily lives doing their washing at one of the numerous fountains in the village, climbing the "Escaliers de l' Eglise" to the 12th Century church of St. Nazaire or visiting the shoemaker on the "Rue du Cordonnier"
