Description for B&B:

'Murier Blanc offers a private entrance from a quaint lane that runs alongside the main development. The front drive provides ample parking space for up to three cars. Surrounding the property, a spacious tiled area and lush shrub borders provide privacy. The lawns at the front and far side are enclosed by a hedge that has been carefully maintained to preserve the beautiful views of the valley and distant hills.

Inside the villa, a large open plan American style kitchen, dining, and sitting areas occupy the central space, while the bedrooms are located on either side, offering two distinct sleeping arrangements. One side features two double bedrooms, which can be arranged as twins or doubles, separated by a generously sized shower room. On the other side, you'll find the master bedroom with its own en suite shower room. French doors from the master bedroom lead to the covered terrace at the front of the house, where you can bask in the breathtaking south-facing views. We provide all bed linen and bath towels, along with luxurious LOccitane bathroom amenities.

The kitchen can be accessed through the back door and includes a small utility room with a fridge freezer, washing machine, and microwave. Equipped with a dishwasher, ceramic hob cooker, coffee machine, kettle, teapot, toaster, and more, the kitchen has everything you need for your stay.

The dining area boasts an impressive French style rustic table and six chairs. Beyond that, you'll find a seating area with two comfortable linen-covered sofas, a coffee table, and a TV and CD/DVD player. The large patio windows make the most of the stunning views. From this area, a door opens onto the covered terrace, furnished with a spacious glass-topped table and six chairs, perfect for dining in any weather. Just a short flight of steps away, beyond the garden, you'll discover the main pool area, complete with a sun deck, loungers, parasols, and a boules court. Although the pool is technically shared with around five other houses and two apartments, it is rarely crowded. Many of the other properties on-site have their own private pools and do not utilize the main pool.

The entire site is meticulously maintained and features an excellent restaurant and a charming boutique hotel with a spa, where you can book rejuvenating treatments. The spa offers a hamman and Jacuzzi, ideal for early spring or late autumn breaks when the outdoor pools may not be available.'
