le Gecko en Provence

The villa has three bedrooms for up to six people, as well as two bathrooms. It is a self-contained 156 m² house rather than a collection of separate room categories. The layout combines two double beds and two single beds, making it suitable for a family or several travellers sharing the house. Air conditioning is provided, and a private bathroom is among the accommodation’s listed facilities.

The living spaces open onto the outdoor areas: a balcony, patio and terrace overlooking the garden, pool and mountains. The kitchen includes an oven, refrigerator, dishwasher, hob and coffee machine. A dining area, sofa and fireplace complete the interior. The private pool and barbecue extend the time you can spend at the villa, while the washing machine is useful for longer stays.

The villa has a private pool surrounded by a garden, with sun loungers, parasols and a fence. A terrace, balcony and patio offer several places to enjoy the fresh air; outdoor furniture and a barbecue complete the facilities. You can also make use of pool toys and an open-air bath. Inside, the kitchen is equipped with an oven, dishwasher, refrigerator, hob and coffee machine. A dining area, sofa and fireplace furnish the living spaces.

Wi-Fi is free throughout the villa, and free private parking is available on site. Air conditioning, heating and a washing machine are provided. The accommodation is wheelchair accessible and has facilities for guests with reduced mobility; the upper floors are accessible by stairs only. Hiking, horse riding and canoeing are possible in the surrounding area. Pets are welcome on request at no extra charge, and board games, books, DVDs or music for children are available.

La Roque-sur-Pernes is a small hilltop village in the Vaucluse, set amid the rolling landscape of the Comtat Venaissin. Stone houses and narrow lanes climb the slopes, with open views across the countryside. Life here is rural and peaceful, away from large urban centres; the village suits travellers who enjoy discovering Provençal villages on foot and taking time to explore country roads. The surrounding area combines hills, woodland and old villages, with Mont Ventoux a landmark in the regional landscape.

Château La Roque is 500 m from the villa. Le Beaucet, another hilltop village of stone, is 790 m away; its château and lanes are worth a short visit. Venasque, a medieval village known for its ramparts and panoramic views, is 3.3 km away. The Venasque departmental forest, 2.0 km away, is a place for walks. Carpentras and L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue have railway stations nearby; a car makes it easier to travel between the villages and sights in the region. Marseille-Provence Airport is 59 km away.

Days can alternate between swimming, visiting villages and hiking in the hills. In hot weather, plan walks for early morning or late afternoon, then enjoy the shaded areas and pool. The milder seasons are well suited to walks and excursions to Venasque or Mont Ventoux. For a longer day out, Abbaye de Sénanque and the landscapes of the Luberon offer a chance to discover Provençal heritage and scenery. Markets in nearby villages are also a good way to sample local produce, depending on market days.
