St. Saturnin has everything for your everyday needs with two excellent bakers, a butcher and a small supermarket, a doctor and pharmacy, a news agent, shops selling locally produced olive oil and wine plus two good restaurants and café bars.

The House

Les Cistes is at the end of a rural cul de sac in a large garden of pines and oaks which provide pleasant shady areas in the heat of the day. The house is divided between 2 buildings - the main house and the "Cabanon" with an open area between. Both buildings are in provencal style.

The single story main house has a large living/dining room with a large stone Provencal style fireplace for open log fires. Opening off the living room is a fully fitted modern kitchen with gas cooker, fridge, and dishwasher. A washing machine and second fridge for storing cold drinks are in the utility room/garage. The living room opens out at the front of the house on to a terrace with a built-in barbecue. The main double bedroom is a sunny double aspect room leading off the living room. A small hall leads to the bathroom, toilet and main entrance. The "Cabanon" is a self-contained twin-bedded second bedroom with an attractive terracotta tiled floor and en-suite shower room with shower, toilet and washbasin. All the rooms are attractively furnished and the house very comfortably accommodates 4 people. There are electric heaters in both the main house and the Cabanon. A telephone is provided with itemised billing.

The garden is secluded consisting mainly of oaks and pines. There are plenty of pleasant sitting out areas and chairs and tables are provided for eating out. The swimming pool is surrounded by a landscaped area with lots of sunbathing space. Loungers are provided. In our experience swimming in April is only for the very hardy and thus, subject to demand, we operate the pool from May to September.

Bed linen and towels are provided but please bring your own pool towels. There is a CD hifi satellite television (English and French channels), a video and DVD player for entertainment and we also leave a some books and games in the house. An ADSL broadband internet connection is provided for both WiFi and ethernet connection.
