The Double or Twin Room is the largest, at 20 m², while the other three rooms measure 18 m². The bathrooms have either a shower or a bath. The terraces and garden views give each room direct access to the outdoors.

Murs is a village in the Vaucluse, surrounded by the limestone hills and dry landscapes of the Luberon. Stone houses, small roads edged with dry-stone walls and open fields create a rural setting, quite different from the busier towns in the valley. The area suits travellers who enjoy walks, old villages and days punctuated by stops to take in the Provençal scenery.

The village of Murs is 370 m away and Saint-Loup Church is 500 m away. In Gordes, 5 km away, stone lanes and views across the valley accompany a visit to the château. The Village des Bories, 6 km away, is a collection of dry-stone buildings once used by local inhabitants. The surrounding paths also lead to hamlets, old mills and natural areas. A car is useful for travelling between these villages and exploring the Luberon; Marseille-Provence Airport is 55 km away.

In spring, the paths are pleasant for walking or cycling along the roads before the hot weather sets in. In summer, lavender fields colour parts of the Vaucluse, while mornings and evenings are better suited to walks. A day could combine a visit to Gordes, a stop at the Village des Bories and a return along small country roads. In autumn, milder temperatures are ideal for excursions and discovering the villages. The nearby hills offer a variety of routes, from gentle walks to more challenging outings; take good walking shoes and water for routes exposed to the sun.
