We fell in love with this house on our first visit in December 1999, although a lot of imagination was needed to transform the disfigured and let down farm house into a family home, we were enchanted by the space it offered, it’s location so near the village, and yet so far from any neighbors, with an hectare of land surrounded by vineyards, and just to make it perfect, a dominant position with gorgeous views over the Mont Ventoux, \u00a0the medieval town of Vaison and the Dentelles de Montmirail.<\/div>\n
After a few months of brain storming, paperwork sorting and quotes editing, we set up for a planned 12 months of renovation of the sleeping beauty with the help of our Aix-en-Provence based architect, Joel Schiltz.\u00a0Here is the story in images:<\/div>\n

The kitchen remains were it was: very central to the house and the exterior dining areas. We will salvage and refurbish the existing \u00ab\u00a0plafond a la Francaise\u00a0\u00bb, unfortunately the only architectural element that’s left.<\/p>\n
